Thank you so much! We hope you'll enjoy the game!

Thank you so much!

Haha she's definitely an interesting choice for a marriage candidate!

Really unfortunate to lose him so early 😭

Glad at least someone enjoyed it! 😊

It's great that you uploaded a video! We watched it, but even with the explanation you gave on another one of our videos, we can't say that we understand what's going on - that is, what the purpose of the game is. It is clear that there are many steps to your ideas and vision for the game that are much more complicated than can be expressed in a way that allows us to understand. Besides, a lot of the inspirations you have mentioned are games and other media that we aren't familiar with or are in genres that we have no experience or interest in. Therefore, we suggest that you do something (preferably all) of the following to get the feedback and inspiration you need for your project: 1: Talk to people you know in real life and present your ideas to them. It is much, much easier to explain such complicated things in person. For example, you can easily show off your work (gameplay, art, story text) and explain everything at the same time, which is necessary to allow other people to get a feel for something so big and complicated. Alternatively, you could do the same thing with friends over Discord, but in-person meetings is definitely the best. Having people you personally know along for the ride also ensures that you receive good and continued feedback throughout the entire process, from concepts to playtesting. 2: Go to fandoms of the games and media that have inspired you and ask them for feedback. If you are rooted in the same thing, it's much more likely that they can give you useful feedback, or at the very least more inspiration to take the project in the direction you want. But you should also keep in mind to not have too many sources of inspiration, or it's likely that the project will be messy, both as a product and a work project. The last thing you want is an overwhelmingly large project that will never get finished - trust us, large projects aren't all that fun all the time, which is why most people can't manage to complete them. You can look at Reddit forums, certain Discord servers or even just ask people on Twitter/X (although, considering the current state of that website, it might be just as well to stay away from it). 3: Look at the media that has inspired you (play the games, watch the shows, etc) and think about why they inspire you. What exactly is it that hooks you with those games? Is it the entire concept, a single mechanic, the characters, etc? Put everything on a list and check that they don't cause conflicts - for example, you can't have a visual high-fantasy theme and a visual space-science-fiction theme at the same time, since they cancel each other out, logically. The same goes for all other aspects of the game. 4: Watch game development tutorials. We don't make tutorials, we just talk about our own game. If you try to follow a few tutorials (you might already have done that), you can gradually get more advanced and find good methods to work on your own game. By following a bunch of tutorials that get more and more advanced, you'll probably learn a lot about game design as well, which is very important when making games. Good game design ensures that a game doesn't get bloated for both the developer and the player. 5: Consider who is supposed to play your game. If it's just you, you can do whatever you want - go for it! But if you want other people to play it, you need to consider what they expect and want as well. You should never tailor a creative project like a game exactly after what players want - because the truth is that they don't know what they want, a lot of the time. But you should at least have a target audience in mind and try to meet their minimum expectations. If you don't have a target audience for the game, you should look into finding one - for example, people who like a specific game or another, singular piece of media. Those are really all the tips we can give. We unfortunately can't give any personal feedback, since that isn't what we do, and we don't have the time to get as deeply invested in your project as it seems like you need. We do, after all, have the release of our own game coming up and have some very serious personal stuff to deal with, too, so we really can't do more than that. Hope that helps. We wish you the best of luck with your game!

It all depends on what type of gameplay mechanics you have and what type of gameplay experience you want for each stage. We can't really give you any tips on that, but if you want suggestions on visual themes, you can always look at classic Halloween decorations and maybe have one theme per stage based on skeletons, pumpkins, ghosts, graveyards, etc. Good luck!

@swordlakeentertainment I'm sorry I wanted the game to be something familiar to me and what I wanted to play I thought it was going to be a smash bros clone with sonic heroes Team building and story I should have not give up on the maze shooter How this for team lightforce moveset 1. Character Design and Abilities Team lightforce movesets Lucy is a whip user and the main character of the series Geo is a fire based character that is pure heart of flame And mary is a sword fighter 2. Game Mechanics You will have the option to get 8 players single player and cpu player vs player 1 modes 3 level design this will all take place in locations in oregon mainly veneta and Sencta 4 storyline Development I originally thought it was going to be a fun craig of the creek inspired multiverse show but I couldn't decide if it was going to be a action superhero or a silce of life show

So are we! It feels like a short time, but also quite long, since we're looking forward to it!

Us too!

And so are we!!

Well, both sound pretty difficult and time consuming, so you should probably go for the option that you think you are the most likely to see through to the end, especially within a reasonable timeframe. Hope that helps!

Good luck with the collection, wish you the best!

​@swordlakeentertainment Hi im seth and im making a smash bros fighting game Xenofighters Happy new year Here is the to do list of things to do in 2025 for Xenofighters 1 finished Xenofighters heroes of the roses all of the stories and gameplay 2 make gameplay videos for each moveset 3 make the Xenofighters webcomics If there's anything I miss or if you want let me know

Thank you! Glad you like it!

This isn't really a tutorial though, it just documents my process with learning Godot hahaha

It's definitely great news but it's still worth to keep an eye on Godot 😉 knowing multiple engines is always a good thing!

I haven't tried visual programming or Unreal engine at all (yet) so I would have to dive into that before I could do a comparison of anything

@@swordlakeentertainment ok

Thanks! Fun to see other who had the same idea haha Good luck with the channel!

@@swordlakeentertainment Thanks, same to you!

shit ur pfp pro Godot

Thank you!

You can give the collision layer and masks names from project settings.

Yeah, that's just one of the many struggles when switching engines... Things seem easy at first but it's difficult to fully understand and be able to utilize the new systems. If you check out some tutorials or read the documentation I'm sure you'll figure everything out in no time! 😄 Good luck with you game!

Thank you!

We love you too! ❤

So happy to hear that! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time in Mistwinter Bay once it's released 🥰

Glad to hear it!

Thank you, we like it too! 😁

It sure will be 🤩

If you're referring to the poses, it's to make the characters stand out between each other and give each of them a bit more personality in their visual depiction. Since we only have the resources to give them a single pose (considering how many characters there are), we felt that it was best to give them unique poses that both show their personalities and profession pretty well. We also make them half-body-sized in the game to save space on texture pages. So unfortunately, there are no deliberate jojo references, haha

​@@swordlakeentertainment it kinda hard to explain but what I mesnt is the drawing style because its closer to that from jojo characters where everyone has every detail defined and looks manly While in most examples its more of a cartoonish anime style drawings with soft faces etc Or i watch too much anime Either way your characters do make me think of jojo. And they are nowhere near stock image idek who came up with that they are not the same at all

Thank you, we're happy to hear that!

Your life

Wtf is this shitty ass comment 💀💀

Thank you! We may not get a lot of feedback, but we try our best to address the feedback we do get!

It sure has! 😄

I somehow managed to guess them all haha

That's a good score, especially since they aren't 1:1 recreations!

It did 😅 but it's been worth it!
