ARez - Developing a game 🚀

View of a space scene with a spaceship in front and a big asteroid in the back

I quickly did some work on an asteroid model. Improved mesh and material.
Let me know if you have some more ideas for the game :)

Now that you mention it: BWALD

IMO the lighting could be improved mainly by using global illumination. The shadows shojld be darker at some spots and the caves too

Thanks for the insight! I might try to improve my flares based on that! Thank you :)

IMO thats a bit too many windows

I also faked something like this for my thruster, but it is by far not as fletched out as yours. Would you mind sharing the source or how you did it?

Dude that is really cool! Thank you!

Looks good! Not sure how but it would be nice if you could somehow prevent the character model clipping for immersions sake. But this all looks very fun already!

Thank god

Thanks!

Here's your obligatory "Time to switch to Linux" response 🐧

Nice one!

I wonder why they chose GZDoom? I would imagine its way more limited than the other big general purpose game engines?

Does it have certain features other engines are lacking? Do the devs just know GZDoom the best?

This won't be useful to me, but I could imagine some people wanting more stylized skyboxes like a simple blue sky, maybe looking a little cartoonish, maybe some clouds...

Now shake it 😏

Nahhh totally fine. My screen looks like that too

While the solo argument certainly is valid, I also started my project as a solo, but what if unexpectedly someone joins me for reasons that weren't obvious in the start? Then that person will have a rough time using your commits to find something...

Oh and: Its still a lovely pixel art animation. But as Linux user I just had to say that :D

Correction: it says "C:/", but I doubt that its not supposed to be " C:\"

Man you got the Linux mascot there and it still says "C:\" in the terminal :(

Ah yeah. Static scenery will be a bit hard to do for me, but I feel like I can still improve the quality even before uploading to Bluesky.
But maybe also the heaps of black color sprinkled with stars aren't good for the compression?

Yep :) Of course! I have a lot of experience in Godot so that's what I chose hehe

Yeah. I wish more people would just leave a comment with some suggestions etc.

Hey, thank you!! I put a lot of work into them. Getting comments like these keeps me motivated :)

ah nice 👍

Oh man... I just saw that it wrote "values spots" instead of "vault spots" my bad...

Oh I just thought since you showed those yellow spheres that those might be start/ end points for potential vault spots

(that was supposed to be a question mark :D )

So you have predefined values spots!

I personally think that the background looks a bit busy, but otherwise looks good!
