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! 😅

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

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.

Ilyass | Brave Rooster Games @braverooster.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

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 😅

Ilyass | Brave Rooster Games @braverooster.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

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? 👀🎮

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

Still new to this whole article-writing thing, so I hope you enjoy this read. It’s my take on why game UX and menus especially, deserve more respect. 🎮 Let me know what you think! I’m learning as I go. 👇 medium.com/@il.cherkaou...

everyone’s fighting over protagonists being male or female, meanwhile i’m just here for gwent. it’s gender neutral, debate free, and simple: “wanna play gwent? yes or no. i don’t want your opinion.” 🎴

she does seem darker than geralt, which i find so badass. i’m also excited for the new perspective and abilities. now it’s just an unknown amount of time until we finally get it… 💀

that chain mechanic in the witcher 4 is looking juicy. i’m curious what we’ll be able to do with it (please be a grappling hook 🙏).

Damn, anyone watched the witcher 4 trailer ? thoughts ?

i sometimes see posts on "game dev" feed that don’t have any keywords related to the theme, which piqued my interest. that’s why i’m testing this right now.

Ilyass | Brave Rooster Games @braverooster.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

testing to see which the alggo prefers, untile now words seem to perfom better than hashtags for me.

Ilyass | Brave Rooster Games @braverooster.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

testing if hashtags actually affect visibility on bsky. if this showed up in #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev, let me know—curious to see how it works now!
