Samesies. Steam allows multiple trailers too, so the recommendation is only for the primary trailer. Cinematic ones usually come second, if at all

I’ve got some new precision screwdrivers coming today. Going to take apart my laptop and see if I can’t fix the track pad

But trailers aren’t a one size fits all. Steam is first and foremost a store, so the promo material we put there might be different than what we put on other places like YouTube or even itch.

Matter of fact I just reviewed their documentation and they actually give exactly the discovery queue as one example as to why they suggest gameplay first.

This advice is given directly from valve on their trailer documentation and the trailer upload page.

Plus, the polygon method lets me make adjustments easier, since I can see how the UV is deforming the textures in-editor, as opposed to passing in raw data and running it each time, so it fit my workflow better. :3

Once that's done, I just have a little script that takes in a "morph time" and then just lerps the vertex positions and handles the crossfade.

I coulda done the same in a shader, but I figured this was a cool way to try a different way that's a bit more visual.

25.02.2026 15:18 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I start by setting up the vertices and polys on the end state (could do either, but I worked backwards because the end sprite had some more defined features.

Once the mesh is set up, I duplicate the node and change the texture. Then I remapped the vertices for the start state.

I coulda, but I opted to use some Polygon2D nodes in Godot for it. Same same happening under the hood though.

I have two Polygon2D nodes, one for the start state, one for the end.

Both polys have the same number of arrays, in fact, they start off as duplicates.

Pretty happy with this little morph effect that I put together.

Hey Alex! Thanks for putting this together!

Here’s my little goblin cooking game. It’s like Overcooked, but with pixel art goblins!

Full version will be out shortly after next fest! πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

It’s depth and design, and a game that people made some great memories with friends with.

For 86’d my best case is getting a few hundred wishlists in next fest and selling enough to build a runway to develop the next one off the profits.

For Kinfolk, best case is it’s a breakout that gets noticed and played enough that it becomes a game fondly remembered in 2020s callbacks for 1/2

I spent way too long thinking that by FMA you mean force = mass d acceleration and squinting looking for the reference.

You meant full metal alchemist πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

I'm really happy with how the menu for 86'd turned out, with the dishes flying around.

If I had more time, I'd make them shatter when they hit, but that's for another game I guess!

What do you think?

Give it a year. There’s blood in the water so something will surface to feed on it.
