Monty Python. Terry Gilliam used to make animations to string sketches together, by essentially cutting up stuff from magazines and doing silly stop motion stuff with it:

>>126480416
The Steam reviews still seem overwhelmingly good - I'm actually considering giving it a try, now. Ten dollars for an unfinished game is still too much, though, and it just isn't honest to not outright state it.

But hey, I'm kinda glad that it's not *completely* ruining the reception it gets. It seems like a kind of panic-induced, idiotic commercial move, like when you dream about having to present a project for college except you have done absolutely nothing, except here it's kinda real.

You mean it could have. What we're looking at now is fraud. Once a person has proven themselves to be dishonest there's no reason to give them a second chance.

>>126480975
The last 20% is the hardest.

It's amazing looking at indie game reviews on Steam and seeing how many are complaining about:
>performance issues in a game that has no business running poorly
>bugs
>missing basic but boring features that every game should have like a graphics menu

A few of those can tip the average to negative, and that can't be good.

Isn't the entire point of it to BE distracting so the player is drawn to it and realises they might need it?

Could make it fade in and out instead of flashing

depends on your game

>>126482816

Make the item shrink in size gradually until it disappears.

No but seriously :
- if you want better animation controls, turns out that you need to expand and roll your own in Unity
- if you want better collisions, turns out that you need to expand and roll your own in Unity
- if you want better editing, turns out that you need to expand and roll your own in Unity
- you spend 90% of your fucking time rewriting shit because the default UnityTM functions are either incomplete, useless or buggy.
- only to have at the end a game that won't run 100% performance because of the engine black magic

At this point, the engine itself is getting useless.

you come a cross a door with a broken doorbell. you use the fork in your inventory to make contact so you can ring the door. you ring the door, a shadowy figure opens up and asks you to hand over your fork. if you hand the fork over, the shadowy figure stabs you and it's game over. if you refuse, the shadowy figure steps into the light and is revealed to be solid snake, the person you were looking for. he asks you to come in. if you accept, he uses cqc on you and it's game over. if you refuse, he'll know that you're no russian spy and he'll tell you how to proceed with the game.

This.
If you want water that raises dynamically based on rainfall basically just make your rivers and lakes into the map at the highest level possible, then place them under the ground and have them raise up slowly depending on the level you want.

If you think collaboration will stop a project from moving at a snails pace I got news for you. You're only as good as your weakest link. You could end up getting a programmer to make the game for you and he'll start dragging his ass until 9 months of your life have gone by and there isn't even a playable alpha ready. Then what? Now you as an artist have to consider how much of that time you spent waiting could have been spent making the game yourself.

Just to inform the general populace. The 'mobile dev' is just another character that everyone's favorite dev has just come up with. This is evident by the various samefag responses, the fact that he started repetitively posting about bull animals right before it started happening, the wild claims with no proof, the reference to /biz/, the reference to /r9k/ and all the "salty", "weak" and "beta" responses.

It's cool that you've decided to drop PP again and make a mobile game, but there are better ways to tell everyone and you don't need to make things up to validate it.

I switched from a relatively high-end Android phone to an iPhone and I never looked back. These devices are supposed to be supplementary to your laptop and desktop--they're not supposed to be general-purpose pocket computers which aren't good at anything in particular. That's the key difference in design philosophies between Android and iOS. iOS is very, very good at doing exactly what a phone is supposed to do. There's a reason wealthy people and engineers tend to use iPhones while poor people with blue collar backgrounds tend to use Android. Android is cheap and it works but it is not particularly high quality.

Enjoy having to reformat your phone every few months if you want to maintain speed and fluidity. (Or having to upgrade every six months. I'd rather keep my phone for a couple of years and then sell it for a huge return on the original price... meanwhile, Android phones are often worth close to nothing not long after launch.)

You probably also can't afford anything better, so I honestly don't judge you, but don't act like your opinion is the only opinion worth considering, bud.
