for like the millionth time I’ve started remaking rod rocket except this time it’s called beta orbiter the story is the character “wakes up” (or comes into existence or whatever) and they just they know they need to find the orb to ponder yes it’s a played out meme I think it’s funny this actually has nothing to do with the gameplay, it’s just an excuse. it’s a side scrolling rocket booster gravity game . i’ll post a video when I’ve done a bit more. it’s fun to work on. I am thinking about trying something I’ve never done before, which is seeing if I can find another person to do it with me. but I nervous, what if it turns out the person sucks? or wants to drive it in a different direction than I want? but it’s perhaps a way to make sure something happens. assuming anyone is interested at all. maybe compromise is better than inaction because, I’ve learnt something about myself which is that I can’t follow thru. but maybe if someone else was involved idk regardless, I am also looking forward to the few moments where I excitedly buy a domain and create a trello and twitter account etc

yeah it also requires finding a person who thinks your idea isn't total poo poo imma keep it open in general. I've always found this "genre" of game compelling, but also rare. also because I don't want to look for anyone else doing it in case I get a case of comparison is the theif of joy

thanks to it being unreal engine, despite using NO textures whatsoever, and like literally about 100kb of meshes (so far anyway), the distributable will be like 250mb lmao when there is a bit more to do i’ll share it and see if people enjoy it spankmeister posted:I like those kinds of games. yeah there was this one I had on my amiga called r3 or something that heavily inspired this

chaosbreather posted:collaboration, when done properly, turns a slog into chilling out with mates, you just need to find the right person. based on previous collaborative projects i would add 4. do they actually do stuff or just keep saying they're going to do stuff soon? and in the case of shared coding projects 5. is their coding/commenting style compatible with your own, or are they/you willing to make adjustments?

level gradually fills with that nice fog effect you did before and you have to get out before its too thick to see multiple paths through a level and you have to work out the best route as it gradually fills with lava that blocks off certain parts time trial where you have to do laps to open the exit

if for any reason anyone wants to race around in a level and also beta test the distributal here's a link got it down to 198mb lol https://mega.nz/folder/zRhwzI6b#EhhVHFel3-w30wvYtzhATg when playing - arrows are main things, shift is extra boost, and r restarts level alt-f4 to quit like any good game echinopsis fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Sep 28, 2022 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyJ2y2qr5zM It took far longer to make a timer than it should have, but it works well. And I have been playing with different zoom levels. makes for quite a different feel.
