Back in around 2013-ish this is what NDR basically started as in GameMaker 8. . . It's come a long way since then

Stylized Knife, Johnathan Mueller A knife I made to test my Blender 3D modeling & Marmoset Toolbag texturing skills. I took pictures of the knife IRL, setup image planes in Blender, modeled it, baked, & textured it

It's been a looong time since I did anything with my Artstation portfolio. Here's the knife I 3D modeled in Blender & textured in Marmoset Toolbag 5 (you can view the 3d model in the web browser too 😎)

That's also true. . . Maybe older teens then 🤣

Also Americans have currently given negative reviews on my games, but a Japanese vtuber loved 1 of my games. Keep foreign players in mind as they could be your true target audience. You'll never know until you try

There's still hope, 1 thing that can make a difference. People are also born every year. Some kid might find your game as their 1st. The past 2 generations might not care currently, but the next 2 might.

Yeah unfortunately same thoughts here. Gets harder every year as more games are released. The quality & gameplay minimum for a player to have fun has also gone up. Art styles are all looking the same. It's rough out there. If you're selling for money not great, for fun though: keep going!

My point being I agree game dev is hard. It requires so much knowledge, skill, & talents just to make simple demos. A full game worth selling & playing is even harder to finish. I love games so I push through financial struggles just to make some small amounts of progress because I enjoy the journey

We self publish as we like to do things the hard way for some reason (money & thrill of it 🤣) Mid last year we changed our game dev mindset & stopped thinking all ideas were good enough to make & sell. Now we try our best to make games more fun before coming up with a full story (duh, noobs 😅)

My Company TnT Gamez LLC is a good example of a struggling studio. From the start we were financially broke & continue to be. I work non stop because players demand better games (& they should, our mobile versions were not good enough for PC) Sounds stupid but mobile & friend reviews were positive

I kept him updated with screenshots too, but he didn't notice until after texturing. Luckily it's a model made in a couple hours for both. No big deal. Small size mods & changes

Haha oh yeah very true. I had a client in the past that wanted a thick bomb usually dropped from bomber planes. . . Came back and said he actually wanted a thin missile fired from a jet, like dude seriously after I'm finished?! XD

That makes sense, thank you for taking the time to respond. I agree with your reasons.

Ahh gotcha, that also applies as my 1st client works were almost PS1/2 quality. I sort my portfolio by date made as a way of gauging my progress. I've heard deleting older works is a thing. What if I'm capable of AA quality models too? Is it common for small portfolios to be used per job?

Hmm. . . My portfolio might look suspicious but honest I made everything myself, it's just my ADHD / different clients on various projects that drive my art works in random directions 😂

When family, friends, & pets start dying around you "passed" feels less painful to say. I didn't care much about the different words, but 2020+ changed things for me

Idk getting feedback for me has been really hard. Social media is mostly scroll by, like, & dev chat. Game reviews are filled with generic google ideas & personal preference. All feedback is taken & considered where it makes sense. Not sure how I can improve my online presence yet

I've been working on NDR for loosely around 8 years. Negative reviews on 1st release made me completely change how I develop.

Business: Steam probably wouldn't make a difference in sales unless randomly player reviews / purchases increased.

Personal: most improvements would be epic for modern PC

I keep feeling tempted to remake my game Neon D-Fence Remastered (which is mostly a complete game now) in Godot 4.3 from Godot 2.6. I'd potentially gain a more stable fps & open the door for an easier level editor, but might double game install size. . . Idk maybe another time 😅

Thank you for suggestion I'll check it out :)

Luckily it's not my phone but a family member's phone, but still I have to make this thing safe to use 😅

2258. . . Dang this has to be the dumbest thing I've been through, and I've been through a lot of dumb things Lol

Anyone else go through their phone sms to manually block 2257 political, scam, fraud, & trash numbers manually? Cause dang I just did 🤪

Ugh me right now. . . Darn performance bugs got me fightin today 😅

Looking back on this there's soo much I didn't know how to do & godot 2.1 wasn't as capable as it is now, but definitely my noob brain failed a lot. ND Remastered has been improved in basically everything thanks to #GodotEngine & every dev that helped make it what it is today

Wow 7 years ago Neon D-Fence was being made for mobile! It's fun going back and seeing how slow enemies moved, the ui layout was really bad at that stage of development 😅

I miss you Tim Vincent

Something that really helps me stay organized is using Discord & git commit messages. They can be great when picking what features to show on Steam releases, talking about with team members, etc. Also can be fun seeing what time ranges you were actively developing games
