I'm Pascal a Dutch independent game developer since 2004 known as Orangepixel. I created various games including Residual, the Gunslugs series, Heroes of Loot series, Space Grunts series, Stardash and the Meganoid series released on PC, mobile and various consoles.

Lot of great tips and ideas, thanks sir! i really like what you do!

[@orangepixelgames]

thanks!

[@KWART_O_MANIA]

Don't forget to rest sometimes!

[@orangepixelgames]

Oh I rest, don't worry 😁

Pascal my hero, I'm a novice self taught programmer and i wanted to know if Ashworld will get a sequel and what programming languages fid you use to programme such a magnificent yet memory efficient game?

[@orangepixelgames]

I'm very tempted to make an Ashworld sequel! So maybe 😁. I used Java to create it

[@fritzytg]

Having the ability to swap in new weapons when you're full gives you the opportunity for future expansions. Have you considered banking some/all of your upgraded levels on a weapon when you swap it out, to be re-applied to the new weapon or other weapons?

[@omtakes]

Can you cover the expense for studios to push out patches/updates; Does Sony/Microsoft/Valve charge to update your game? Some Indie games I have need fixing, but when the initial sales dont cover expenses, it just compounds the need to release fully tested games to avoid unnecessary patching/updating costs Cheers for all the gamedev info you share

[@orangepixelgames]

Patching is free.. and on Steam/Valve it's also instant. So upload+release is within a minute. Where on console they do test and run checkes and it can take up to a week or more (if they run into issues that you need to fix). But still all free

@ thank you 🖖🏽

[@Artbyzig]

Hey orangepixel, Do you have a dedicated artist, or do you do your own art? I notice in your videos, you almost never have placeholder art.

[@orangepixelgames]

I do my own art, and I often start with a art mockup that I then cut into usable things as I dive into the code :) So my prototypes never really have placeholder art because of that ;)

[@Artbyzig]

@@orangepixelgames nice! Well it looks great!

[@vidarlystadjohansen9829]

cool sentinel!

[@orangepixelgames]

Thanks!

[@medusayuk5854]

When is this coming to Switch or mobile?

[@orangepixelgames]

2025! - as in a few months from now :) We got it mostly up and running (including the latest updates) just needs some good testing and final bug fixes

Hey Pascal, I've bought your game to show support, also I've played many of your games since Heroes of the Loot that inspired me to make my own game. One advice from fellow developer if I may. I think your price is too high for this type of game. If you compare it to Vampire Survivors, or Karate Survivor, or Brotato all of them has price set to around 5$/Eur which I think is much more reasonable leading to more sales and possibly higher revenues, because 5$ is psychological barier that people can tell like "fuck it I'll try".

[@orangepixelgames]

Thanks for the support!

[@TimConceivable]

lol definitely oversharing!

[@Zodiacman16]

what a “crappy” intro

[@thelionszen3352]

ba dum tinc

[@orangepixelgames]

I gave it all I had left!

[@deonbenvarghese-zj3lj]

​@@orangepixelgames well, most KZbin videos now a days don't have intro , it's so strange few years ago intro was longer than the actual video 😅
