Yep, the engine will be Smile Game Builder. Glad to hear you'd be interested in more of FLA! I have an idea to make it much spookier too... As for SPECTRA, I wanna do more with it's gameplay and graphics, but I'm still proud of the demo.

That sounds much friendlier than your last game! You sure it's not secretly a horror game, too? Ah yes, gotta make sure you get those screenshots, or lazy bums like me will ignore the game completely! I used to be stressed about publishing too, but by this point I've gotten used to it. My games don't get enough traffic for me to feel overwhelmed by comments or anything either. Are you using RPG in a Box again or something else?

Alright, SGB such a nice and cozy engine! You said you were gonna do some voice acting for it? That's really interesting since not a lot of games using these engines have them! Oooh I'm already spooked just thinking about it👻 Did you made the graphics yourselfs for FLA? This handrawn artstyle was amazing and super atmospheric! Once my game is published, definitely gonna check out SPECTRA!

Haha no worries, no horror to see here, promise🤞 Yes RPG in a Box again, I love it but I also really want to go back to either SGB or one of the RPG Maker one day or another, it's been too long! Haha, I took some will playtesting, killing two birds with one stone!

I hope I'll be used to it like you one day, if I ever get a game library as big as yours!

For sure! Especially for a 3D engine. Well... I may do some voice acting myself, but I hope to get others involved as well (a certain YouTuber in particular comes to mind 😉). Very true, which is why I want to add voice lines that much more!

Yes... be VERY afraid! 😱 Yep, I made all the graphics myself. And thank you! I was happy with how they turned out, too. I appreciate that and I hope you have fun playing it.

Okay okay. A spooky farming game actually sounds kinda cool now that I think about it, though... 🤔 You're on a roll with RPG in a Box games and I like what you've made so far! I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you make with the others engines, though (after your break, of course).

I'm sure you will! You have nothing to worry about anyway, cuz you're making really good games. 💯 Keep it up!

Yes definitely, and the default assets are so cute, my god look at the characters! Can't wait to see... or rather hear that, I really like the idea! Mmmh, I wonder which YouTuber you're talking about...🤔😁 That actually could be really fun!!

I might try this prototype myself while waiting for an update to get into the spirit! I have so many games of yours I still need to play, haha! But one day I'll conquer them all!!

Oh yeah that could be cool and a nice twist to the relaxing farming sim! Lol, well I really like this engine, you can create so many type of games with it, its incredible... and the fact it was made by only one person is even more incredible! Thank you so much that means the world to me, really🤗

I know right? They kinda remind me of legos! Yeah, I'm glad you agree! And even if I can't get anyone else, I'll probably do the voice lines myself in that case. 🤷‍♂️ Still gotta make the game first, so I won't worry about any of that now.

I donno if you have to play ALL of them... some of my games are kinda dumb. 🤪 But if you do play all of them, I'm thankful for that. And your feedback is always appreciated, too.

Maybe I'll consider that idea for a future project... 🤔 No arguments there! Justin's doing great things with the engine, and I love it's versatility, too. You're welcome! Hopefully I don't inflate your ego too much... 😅

By the way, I'm gonna play Gardiny later today! It already looks really cute from the screenshots, and I gotta take notes from you on style and presentation, cuz that's something you do really well. ✨🖼️✨

Yees, cuteness overload! Since they will be voice actings, I guess the story will be rather important? Oh and I don't know if I previously (in our other 1.000 comments from the previous thread) asked you how you design your games. By that I means what the first thing that come to mind when thinking about creating a game? And do you prefers to start creating directly in a game engine or rather write down first on paper the main mechanics, the story, etc? I think it's always interesting to see how each individual's brain work when working on something😋

But I have to, I was destined to do that. More pancakes... always more! I downloaded three of your games, including Feels Like Anxiety, and will definitely play them today! Haha, there's room before my ego becomes oversized but it's always good to hear that, so thank you again for the kind words😘

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it! I'm sure you will design a delicious garden🥞

The "story" will probably be something like what I did in Box in an RPG, so more silly than serious. True, you'd think we would have talked about that before! 🤨 Either way it's a good question! In my case, I usually get an idea for a game and start working on it directly in the engine that I feel suits the project best. I've written down notes for some games, but mostly I just dive into development right away and figure it out as I go. And you? What's your approach?

Well alright... I won't discourage you from following your destiny then. 😊 Lemme know whatcha think of them! If you say so, but I've got my eye on ya... 👀

I think I will! Yes, I'll sprinkle everything with syrup to make sure the crops are as delicious as possible. 😋 Actually, maybe I should make a game where you plant pancake seeds and grow pancakes! 😮

Poulet Rôti206 days ago

Another one I have to play! I see, you kind of let your imagination and the ideas that come from it guide you, it's amazing actually! Your brain must be full of ideas! Well for me, it help me a bunch to write the outline on how the game will works and to draw some crappy doodles on paper (my desk is full of them!!) before opening an engine. I'm not really a story/plot guy so it always come naturally (if there is a one😁) once everything is taking shape in my mind and in the game itself.

I will, do not worry! Noo don't look, nothing to see here, my ego is perfectly fine (FeEd mE MoRE cOMpLiMeNTs)🙄

Oooh a farming game about pancakes? That's actually sound like a tasty idea lol, growing different kind of delicious pancakes, but the biggest question... will they grow on trees or in the ground? Maybe both depending on the pancake?🤔

8Pancakes4Lunch206 days ago(+1)

I do have a lot of ideas, but it can be a bit chaotic to make games with no plan... it has it's pros and cons, ya know? Making notes and doodles is perfectly valid, too! As long as you get a desirable result in the end, right? I'm trying to work on my storytelling abilities, cuz most of my games so far have very little of that, but a lot of my favourite games have awesome stories and characters, which makes me focus more on dialogue and plot (even if it's goofy dialogue and plot 😏).

Hmm... I think the sarcasm is all a trick! It's reverse psychology or something for sure! 😖

Crap... these ideas are getting too good... but I can't be making a pancake farming sim right now! I've got too many other ideas to make first! 😓 Oh well! Maybe it's a good thing, since I don't wanna compete with your farming game anyway. We can let Gardiny have it's time for now.

Poulet Rôti206 days ago(+1)

Oh yeah didn't think about that, I see! And yes you're right. Yes with a bit practice and determination we always achieve what we want, so keep writing! Also goofy dialogue/story can make for a charming game in the end!

You got me, so if you want to help me I can share with you some of my ego (thats work right...?) so we can say together that our games are not so popular because the others are jealous of our incredible talents! And I wouldn't feel alone anymore🙃

FOCUS! No more pancakes growing on trees, they can wait! It's all about dungeon crawling🧙‍♂️ and spooky horror👻 for now!
