I made my game look GOOD - Shotgun Knight Devlog#1

[@SombreroMan716]

Suggestion: try to keep a consistent pixel size throughout your game. The bigger pixels on the environment really clashes with the smaller and more detailed knight and shotgun. Edited for typos

[@qwertz3813]

up

[@bobsmithy3103]

+1 The cavernas asset pack is great, I've used it myself. But OP should try matching the style of it with the other assets

[@SombreroMan716]

@@bobsmithy3103 yeah that is sort of the problem with using asset packs. It’s just hard to achieve a consistent style.

[@FortbloxNET]

Oh so it’s not just me that saw it. Inconsistent pixel size is a big no go

[@jakedev7363]

This video was amazing! I also love the post processing. Can’t wait for it to be released.

[@Glare108]

Wow! Bird! and I really enjoy your pixel art! Keep up the great work!

[@Ada7e]

I sense a Dani fan by your editing, very good editing by the way. Also the game looks great, pixel art 10/10

[@Doubled_8]

This game looks amazing im gonna check out Devlog 0 i love how 50%+ of devlog 1 has been about birds! Keep it up this game looks awesome and your channel is sure too blow up soon!!!!!!

[@gokhancakr661]

keep working man . good job.

[@MarcV_IndieGameDev]

[ignore if temp asset] I would look on feedback on the shotgun sound, that sound effect is a little tinny and horrible sounding (could just be myself though), I couldn't listen to that over and over and I can imagine players will might feel the same. I could be talking out turn and could be 100% wrong! But it's something to consider. Keep up the awesome work!

[@cherubim7]

Achievement idea: Lone survivor - kill all the birds in a flock except for one

[@cherubim7]

Asked chat gpt to enhance 😂: Achievement Unlocked: Wings of Solitude "A lone survivor stands amidst the feathers, a testament to unparalleled marksmanship and cunning. In the face of a tumultuous flock of birds, you emerged as the avian reaper, sparing only one to tell the tale. Your precision and skill soar above the rest, securing the Wings of Solitude achievement. May your name be whispered among the feathers, for you are the hunter of legends."

[@SecretZoneGames]

Loved this devlog, keep up the good work

[@CSteph_]

Post processing!!! Amazing video. Keep up the good work! Very cool 👍👍

[@shotgunknight]

Thank you! It means a lot!

[@DaveMakesGames]

I can tell youre a dani fan lol. games lookin good 👍

[@thebeluvdtrex]

I watched that Brackeys video. I just used player prefs.

[@wafflekiller1437]

Cool video! Interested to see more progress! (BTW raycasting isn't as hard as it seems, and you can even draw them in the scene view with Debug.DrawRay, just make sure gizmos are toggled on)

[@pitori.]

1:00 i am now convinced you watch dani Nice

[@SombreroMan716]

1:00 aah yes, good ol’ unity particle system

[@MitchellFields-q8j]

I... I'm literally making a game about shot gun knights... dammit never a unique idea anymore

[@AtelicDev]

At 0:57 you have perfect fireflies! Fireflies for a sick mystical magic forest

[@OwnedByChristian]

you have potential keep grinding!!!

[@shotgunknight]

Thank you!!!

[@NevilsicoShard]

Love that Unity Particles System moment

[@sheanstanks]

I didn't realize I'd be witnessing the creation of a torture device

[@deacondeadwolfgaming6673]

technically the birds don't fly in random speed when they are in flocks.. I love your pixel art style, its beautiful..

[@shicov_]

the graphics are inconsistent, the knight's pixels are smaller than other sprites. when youre using others assets you should make it look consistent otherwise its obvious and just looks bad. a way to make it look good is to make everything the size its supposed to be, and if it looks weird you can resize in aseprite or smth else and make it more detailed. also the water looks more like sand and is also a different color than the water sprite

[@pringel8201]

my like 5 favorite games on coolmath looked like this

[@moltengears7483]

maybe ass decoration in the more dungeon like areas add a rat that will run from left to right and occasionally stop and stand on its hind legs for abit

[@zeldaandTwink]

I'd recommend using raycasting for the shooting. Like if your bullet is traveling too somewhere it would hit anything between point A and B. Would suck to miss something by a few pixels

[@JROCKON]

The bird 360 trickshot got me good e.e.e.e.e ❤❤❤

[@RenderingUser]

Isn't this basically just jump knight?

[@shauryachavan1284]

i just wanted to ask, why is the pixel art style for the characters/shotgun/bird so different from the background and tiles. I love the concept but am getting a bit put off due to the size difference between the pixels.

[@imzasoft]

Recently Messed With Post Processing Setting My Game Looked 10X Better!

[@dotTxtFile]

That game seems intresting, has a cool art style and looks like it will get a lot of people pissed lol quick question, is that a original soundtrack?

[@shotgunknight]

Thank you! The sound track is not my own it is a public domain track by xDeviruchi which can be found here: xdeviruchi.itch.io/8-bit-fantasy-adventure-music-pack

[@PaniniDev]

Ayyy!! Great job!!!

[@dogma.questlog]

cool video!

[@greggregoryst7126]

Please decrease how much audio volume varies through time c: At 1:18 the sound is fine, at 1:23 you get hit with a loudass sound effect, at 1:28 your voice volume drops. Then when I got used to your voice volume at 4:10, I get screamed on by BRAKCEYS at 4:15

[@maxabajillion]

I love this

[@jesusortega3674]

And so, the viewers came

[@orionatus_]

Editing is good, and I was very surprised you only had 200 subs, but you might want to work on the mic quality when you get the chance. This video is still good don't get me wrong, it's just that mic quality is one of the most notable factors of a video, and some people will leave because of it. Love the video though, keep up the good work!

[@cajayt]

To the whistlist

[@damus6665]

Subscribed before checking the vid lol

[@zelos666]

I think you really, really need to differentiate your platforms more from the background. They just blend in way too well, because the color is so similar to the background tiles. I think the best way to go about this would be to make the background darker. Probably by separating both onto separate sorting layers and having two different Global Light 2Ds. The way it is right now makes everything feel like it's part of the same layer.

[@BlueAndy_]

ctrlc + ctrlv good one

[@moltengears7483]

may you please add an option to turn off the post processing light? my pc is shitty. thanks!

[@MrMassi1]

make that shooting a lot of birds gives u an achievement :D

[@czlowiekchlopiec4617]

this literally looks like jump king xdd

[@glowtort8442]

goated video

[@irekit]

Amazing video! ⭐did someone say unity's particle system?⭐

[@willthecodery]

Are you ever planning on getting play testers?

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

This game looks so good, and it reminds me a lot of jump kings art style which is really nice, I'm surprised how good the lighting looks, it reminds me a lot of how good rogue legacy looked back in the day!

[@xxyoboigxx]

I love these devlogs and and the looks great. I was wondering tho, what coding language are you using?

[@shotgunknight]

Thank you! I’m using the unity engine and scripts are written in C#

[@shotgunknight]

Thank you! I’m using the unity engine and scripts are written in C#

[@xxyoboigxx]

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the info. I heard that some games tend to use C# and C+++ so I wasn't sure if you could just make a really fun and simple game with just 1 coding language on anything more than thw RPG maker engine lol

[@kuuluna]

Is there a masochist mode where there's no save point similar to jump king?

[@raandomplayer8589]

Not enough bloom

[@FilmonGEMZ]

Hey Shotgun Knight, wanna join our BlackThornProd "7 Devs Create a Game With Communication" Team?

[@thegamingcow5072]

1k views and only 10 comments, how?

[@thegamingcow5072]

Nice game and vid tho

[@shotgunknight]

Thank you!!!

[@GuildOfCalamity]

Nice... but can someone get this man a proper recording mic?

[@FortbloxNET]

The background color palette is exact the same as the foreground palette so there is no clear indication what’s background and foreground. And the spotlight with fake lightning makes it even worse because it lights background and foreground. You should some real 2d lightning system from the asset store maybe. Or change color palettes so it’s clear what’s background and foreground. Other thing…. But that’s just me 🤣 knights and shotguns don’t fit. When there were knights there was not shotgun invented. Just a real serious tip from a developer. Not the shotgun but the lightning thing and color palettes.

[@Ez-_-69.]

add pew pew

[@feriga4640]

I didnt know Dani has a child??

[@ceoofbroccolis]

Suggestion: and other type of small animals to kill ! like rats and bats !

[@KDD0063]

No you didn't pixel graphics is a rules-based art style, and you have broken almost all the rules: -you must choose a resolution and stick with it -you cannot rotate, transform, or scale pixel sprites off their grid/resolution -you must choose a limited color palette and stick with it, which of course excludes gradient lighting

[@notjeromy2189]

🤓

[@bee6035]

mixel

[@caplom]

It’s me or it’s a pure plagiat of Jump King ?

[@bunzguy6448]

LOL the brackeys copy paste

[@mestelpho5137]

So you just copy Jump knight (you copy litteraly some part of the map), you say some reply exactly that danidev and you have do like nothing of the pixel art it's all from free asset. Dude it's for you make something original, something it's from you not from someone.

[@6Pope9]

jump king rip off?

[@DradeTTV]

Hey man, looks great and I have it wishlisted, is there a way to reach out to you? via discord or email? I would love to talk about somethings

[@shotgunknight]

I’ve added a business email to the about section on my channel you could reach out there
