Yeah, that’s the roughest part about creating anything, haha. But it’s one more data point to learn from.
Yeah, I think that’s the best course (if you’d play it, it beats trying to guess what some hypothetical player would), but you’re talking to a guy who usually gets hired on to pitch projects, so slightly different beast.
You forgot the secret third thing: unmarketable *and* boring.
That aside, I think you’re pretty much always better off risking alienating some players but connecting with an audience via something bizarre than pulling your punches. For all you know, that bizarre thing is the new safe.
That’s kind of what I was hacking at. I was actually experimenting with methods to fallback on individual tile adjacency rules when the pattern method got stuck. I got them to work with each other, but it didn’t significantly reduce getting stuck in practice.
Thanks!
Happy #screenshotsaturday! Finally have an actual, real-life rainy day, so I think I'm going to get off the computer and read.

Okay, have a truly illegible jumble.
Okay, you win.
I have done my best to hide my sins.
I have! I can't say I'm any expert, but my "unpaid-other-dayjob" is in bike/pedestrian advocacy, so I've gotten a cursory familiarity.
3D artists, show your (illegible jumble of) wireframes!
A video game can really be anything you want
Thanks! It's all texture. Completely unlit model.

I admire your optimism.
Fun fact about me: I'm a bit obsessed with Pepsiman and have made many pepsi-like prototypes. I think what will eventually drive me mad is forever yearning to make a pepsi-like knowing nothing could ever be Pepsiman.
Clouds have been on my list for while. Nothing fancy, but they go a long way for making the world feel less static.

Found some old platformer prototype characters. My animation abilities begin and end right about here.

Anyone have any experience/recommendations with GBA dev? Been getting the itch to tinker.
Thanks!
If you want. It’s an infinite* city, so you can walk where you like. You could walk the same way over and over, though. I won’t stop you.
Part of a procedurally generated walking sim.
First pass on some basic parks/plazas.
