Designing My Indie RPG's World In Unity!

In this devlog, I spend one month racing to release the first beta of my indie action rpg called project seaborn...

Feel and other assets are 50% off of you use this link:

I think this game has so much potential. But here are some tips I recommend.

1. Add a lot less of a screen shake when firing a weapon.

2. The weapons are very boring. I suggest you make them very unique and cool.

3. The bosses are okay... the bosses are important in games like this one. It is key to make the bosses interesting and super cool. For example terreria. I know its very hard to make bosses like terreria but i belive in you.

4. Make some sort of story for the game. And add key quests and side quests. And make them very unique quests not boring ones like (kill 3 crabs).

5. If your going for the skill tree route please don't make it random. Make each character have a master in some sort of weapon. So that the skill tree can expand it.

6. I think you should add artifacts. These will drop after completing a main boss. For example if you kill a main boss like Kronos a character from the movie Percy Jackson, Upon defeating Kronos he would drop his skull and you could use it like a flamethrower and it can push you back. (don't use this exact idea).

7. Make the enemies attacks make sense. Dont make crabs just shoot random balls of red balls. It should make sense. for example: the crab picks up sand with a simple animation and than it throws it side ways like a long but low damage attack.

8. Make the enemies and characters unforgettable. Make them so cool and remeberable like if someone said the name Link everyone would know who it is. Make them so cool even the enemies so cool that it sticks with everyone.

9. Make the consumables have little pictures and even make the consumables rememberable. Make them unique and make it look so cool when someone finds it they just respect the look of it as well as what it does.

10. The floating weapons are pretty cool and unique but make them look super cool and simple but not to simple. As well as maybe a animation for holstering your weapon.



Thats my advice to your game. I hope you can read this and maybe take some of it in. If not its understandable. thanks!

Looks cool ! I also bought the Feel asset pack, I look forward to using it in my projects !

[DesmodiumGames]

Awesome- I can't wait to try it out. Also, after seeing this, I think I'll go ahead and get feel especially as it's in the sale!

You can actually fix the seams in the individual tiles by decreasing the pixels per unit on the images by like 0.01 so that the tiles are slightly bigger. This will probably remove the seams. By doing this you don’t need to use the pp camera and you can zoom in easier

[SpriitVTuber]

I’m really digging the visuals so far, especially the new character design!

[TheReal_Endo]

It’s an amazing game but I do have some feedback:

Can you make the health bars and inventory more cool and pixelated. Some sort of design.

[trny]

To fix seams while using pixel perfect camera, create a Sprite Atlas then add your tile-set to it.

Project Seaborn is one of the best names I’ve heard👍

[williammcglynn]

the ESC key sends me back to the start of the game but I just keep accidently hittin' it to leave the menu.

Great work! I will test it, I code usign unity visual scripting and I tried to implement feel with it, I wansn't unable so I needed to use C#, even so it wa so simple to implement and add different effects.

[kidkouga]

Oh wow, so much work has been done. This is exciting. But wait.... you haven't done any play testing to this point with other people? Kinda shocked. But i hope it goes well

[TazzTheOrange]

Hey again Levin remember me? Anyway great video I have a suggestion you should make critical hits for player lile 25% to crit or special types for enemies like shines inside of Pokémon but they just do like 10% more damage

[MaximumAxiom]

You need to tone down the screenshake when the player attacks, you want some just not this much. You can definitely have a lot of screenshake when the player takes damage though.

[unspi]

Change all art before releasing it ^^ . big bug there is camera shake on every action it loose purpose.

Honestly, I don't like dash moves. They feel like a "get out of jail free card" for failing to position yourself properly. They started becoming popular in games around 2014 or 2015, and Overwatch has them, which caused near universal adoption. It really doesn't suit most games it's in, and certainly not most characters who have it. I think if you wanna have it in your game, you should make its implementation creative, rather than generic.
