Congratulations on the release!! It looks like you achieved the vast majority of what you set out to reach, I hope I can get there someday as well. I am developing a very basic FPS. No plot, no logic to the levels (a quake-like surreal aesthetic), basic sprite enemies. Even then I feel like I am over-scoping. But I am taking every lesson and experience you share on your devlogs to heart. Its some very inspiring work, keep it up! And yes, I have played Celeste.

I think that';s what's most important, is making something you can kinda say "I did what I wanted to do". What you're on sounds intriguing, I hope you stick with it and it becomes what you want it to be. That's what matters, I think.

Congrats, the game looks fantastic! Not sure if this is the issue but I've run into timer problems in Construct as well. If you are using "Every X seconds" it can't be faster than the game tick. If the game is running at 60th of a second you can't have a timer running at 100th. Again, not sure if that is the issue but thought I'd share if it can help :)

Well done Zed! Look like you had a pretty successful launch. I too just released my first game but sadly not to the same success. Only 6 reviews (thankfully all positive), only 30 copies sold. Not only that, but it is everywhere, on every major pirating website, all within the first 48 hours of releasing the game. It's a hard feeling, when you had been so built up for months on end, working as hard as you can. Dreaming for that sweet release date, and when it comes... it comes as a ripple rather than a wave. But the point is, I made it and released something, and so did you! And if we told the 8 year old version of ourselves we had made a game, they would surely think we were coolest people on earth! I am still proud of you and how far you have come all the same. You had 1800 subs when I subscribed, and now look! Nearly 10,000! And I have loved every episode of your Dev log. Be proud my friend. Don't let that negative comment get to you either. It is very easy to be a critic. Everyone can see a problem, but very few people can solve them and actually make a game.

Hey, nice to see the positive reviews on your game. About the speedrun timer, it's common that timers use the fps of the game if you don't change it yourself. So you can try to lock the fps to 60 and see if it works.
@LTGD
2 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, Construct 3 doesn't let you lock the *maximum* fps for your game. It only lets you set a *minimum*. So, I use deltatime, which generally is meant to count a second every 60 'times'. Roughly. But it's apparently a bit TOO rough and over the course of a speedrun, it just runs too far ahead. I dunno, I'm still diving into it. We'll see where I end up.
@TheCELO219
2 жыл бұрын
@@LTGD How are you using delta time to count a second? Are you incrementing the timer by one second every 60 frames? If so then your timer will run faster if you're running the game at more than 60 FPS. I haven't used Construct 3 before but from what I see in the docs a simple timer that's adding delta time every frame should properly work as a framerate independent clock.

Thank you for sharing some of your wisdom. KZitem recommended this to me and I have not played the game, but for me, a game needs calm parts as well as intense parts for the loop. Something surprising to break the formula. On the video there was only shown gameplay (levels), and then exact same room with different colors between them for the story every time (reading). Also two things that come to mind just from looking at it though, is the lack of level decoration and BG objects. Makes it easier to make those over 100 levels, but does not look as pretty to me. Even a digital world can have digital trees, or anything else you can think of. Second thing is that every level seems to have a random color and background, and there is no visual progression when getting deeper/progressing. A more gradual change could help me look forward to what is going to happen next. Ideally there would also be a larger change in style whenever new gameplay/story elements are introduced- Though I guess the above gradual change is not strictly necessary, if there is some other kind of structure to puzzle out, like every 10th level being extra special/gimmicky somehow for example (not necessarily a boss fight).

To me the best way of getting rid of imposter syndrome, is to understand that meritocracy is not only false in my case, in that i don't truly deserve either my curses or blessings, but that it is True for most people as well. From the homeless guy I saw in the park on my jog, or that guy with the fake teeth I saw in the news, where and how we are born isn't indicative of any sort of accomplishment on their part, but our accomplishment is much more decided by circumstances outside of our control such as birth. and thus the consequences that achievement/nonachievement aren't merely their own, and are connected to wider trends that we might not have any knowledge of. As an old poem once said, "No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less.
