Scribbles from last night, I am thinking about taking drawing seriously this year

It's one book, separateed into 2 parts for ease of use

Really grateful for this gift, happy holidays yo u all, take some time off.

The fear of not making it back with what you already got is a strong one, woth making a game around it. How much u need to make it ?

I think this is a very original idea, it deserves consideration. Since you asked for 0$ i will give it you, don't thank me 😂. But srsly really awesome 💡

the premise is awesome, super attention-grabbing! but i’d need more details about the mechanics to fully picture how it plays. since you’re confident in dev and know you need an artist, i’d say 2–3k for now. could imagine giving more if the gameplay vision was clearer!

great pitch! Cozy Ventures is perfect for $30k and about 2 years for a solo dev. oracle style exploration with cozy vibes and a loyal dog? i’m all in! 😅

pitch me your dream game in 2 lines + how much $$$ you’d need to make it 💸🎮 i’ll rate it by deciding how much i’d ‘fund’ you let’s hear your best ideas! #gamedev #indiedev

This is such a beautiful way to see it, I'm stealing it.

My thoughts exactly

Maybe the movie industry can learn a thing or two from Secret level, give a chance yo something new, i personally am tired of superheroes ☠️
Next cinema age is for games stories

This secret level show is really something

je ne croyais pas qu'il y en avait à Bordeaux, j'ai pourtant cherché. Merci !

des infos sur le gamejam ?

main and options menus are pretty simple elements in any game, and yes, they should be straightforward.
but UX/UI goes beyond that. games need good ux/ui within their mechanics too. as for your kojima remark, have you tried Death stranding? it’s notorious for its tons of menus being confusing.

you’re making some really good points here

it’s not as simple as that, style is hugely important too. take kojima, for example. he’s notorious for prioritizing style over simplicity, and while it sometimes confuses people, it’s also what makes his games so unique.
(simple != better) always

i like Hades, Stardew valley, and Hollow knight, they strike the perfect balance between beauty and ease of use. on the flip side, though i like it, Death Stranding leans more on beauty than simplicity, but that's a kojima thing, i guess 😅

what’s more important: a beautiful UI that’s slightly confusing, or a basic UI that works flawlessly? game design is full of tough choices like this. what do you think? 👀🎮

the original just in case anyone wants it

just looked it up and it costs 120 euros, is it that good ?

I guess i am not that pro of gamer yet, getting there

i am ashamed to show mine now

Will do this later today 🦦
