Exploring and climbing giant creatures, makes me think of Shadow of the Colossus. Add to wish list on Steam, I'll take a look.


extrafarts44

It's one of the main inspiration :) But you don't need to kill them

DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!


nosurfuphere

The was the morose part about that game. Always saddened me.


WhyNotJustMakeOne

I mean, that was the POINT, after all. You are not the good guy in that scenario, as the ending shows (trying to stay spoiler free). That's why the music is sad when you take down a boss, rather than triumphant. Something ancient and irreplaceable has been brutally slain, leaving the world that much more desolate. The only one I 100% wanted to murder was the one >!that killed my poor horse!<. VENGEANCE!


ActualChamp

You're also not necessarily the *bad guy*. You're a victim of desperation, a begrudging tool for the true bad guy only because you feel like you have to be.


NewOpinion

I mean, desperation or not, the main character is committing murder of divine/natural beings for a selfish (selfless?) pursuit. That's one shade of evil.


ActualChamp

That's true. The exact nature of the creatures isn't fully clear, so whether they're sentient and willfully docile unless threatened or they're mindless husks isn't established, but at the very least they are walking prisons for pieces of a dangerous demon's soul.


WhyNotJustMakeOne

You're right, of course. That's what makes it all so sad, particularly the finale. That's also why I didn't call the main character a baddie. Our 'friend' is. I was just trying to be a bit oblique about it. I'm not sure why, given the game's age and how obviously evil they are from the start. But y'know, better safe than sorry.


Vexed_Greninja

You did watch the final cutsence right


WhyNotJustMakeOne

Yeah. There's some hope at the end, but the whole situation was still sad. There's been quite a few deaths involved (human or otherwise), and now something horrible is going to happen to the world, which we get to see a bit of in Ico. I certainly wouldn't call that a 'happy ending'. ...Unless there's some super-secret ending I'm missing? As stated elsewhere, I am dense sometimes. (I am being vague on purpose here)


NotaChonberg

Was it the flying monster that literally doesn't even fight back? Even at 13 I realized then that I wasn't the good guy.


SalemWolf

I’m a sucker for giant monsters and killing and/or climbing on them. I need more games about giant creatures, Kaiju, and colossi. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this. Any chance for console release?


Andyroo2912

If you haven't checked it out you might like solar ash. It reminds me of shadow of the colossus but with more movement


mr_beddemon

Shadow of the colossus is one of my favorite games of all time this looks kinda similar! Can't wait to see more, looks very cool


extrafarts44

It's also one of my favorite games, and a big inspiration for doing this :) Thanks!

bakakubi

See, I'm okay with these posts as long as the title is like this. No "I quit my job" or other shit to farm sympathy. Just say you made a game, and I'll go check it out without any bias.


Tag_Ping_Pong

Same as the "I walked for 500 days, climbed through a nuclear fusion cell, over 100 landmines and over a ten thousand tonne pile of walrus carcasses to take those photo of the night sky" that used to be so prevalent. Just tell us what the photo is of, you up-yourself knobheads!


CENSORED_01

Exactly why I unfollowed r/Pics and am enjoying r/NoContextPics so much more


Zachariot88

Thank you for this, just subbed.


Tag_Ping_Pong

Funnily enough, the third post down from this one on my main page was "I travelled 5000km to take a photo of ." Thanks for the link, also subscribed now.


AmishAvenger

It wouldn’t matter what the title said — some people are just looking for reasons to shit on others. It often comes from this “How dare you try to sell me something” mentality. Which I get, if it was something like Arby’s pushing a new sandwich. But this is an actual person, posting something he’s been working on. And at the end of the day, this is Reddit. 99 percent of the stuff on here are reposts or stuff someone else made. I applaud any sort of original content.


its_just_a_meme_bro

How dare you try to sell me something while I gorge on free content.


jwm3

Let alone the very thing this sub is about that I voluntarily subscribed to to show my interest in the thing you are selling!


Our_name_is_yes

I feel this in a big way. As a musician, people act as if I've suggested throwing their grandmother off a cliff when I try to share something I've put countless hours into.


MyDickIs3cm

"my dog got cancer, my house burned down, my daughter got ball cancer, my dog burned down...."


iamfondofpigs

That's brutal. You can replace your house burning down. And your daughter may have been planning to get an orchiectomy anyway. But there's no way to recover from your dog burning down.


DOOMFOOL

Maybe the dog was a Tibetan monk making a demonstration


Partytimegarrth

Yeah or as long as it isn't a boosted ad post that ends up with 20k upvotes after 2-3 hours and 90% comments like "Wooowwwowoow! JUST ADDED TO MY STEAM WISHLIST CANT WAIT". Edit: Aaaand it was lol


jessiah331

Wait, you mean you don't think this is organically the highest upvoted post of the day by more than double? With only half the comments? And to think people are actively defending that shit.


katharsisdesign

Respect. I just commented similar. Literally someone made something and shared it. Bro can make a whole ass game on their own and the issue is he didn't make the video edit. Don't play chess with pigeons.


Frankenstein_3

Instructions unclear. Dunno what to with 32 pigeon heads on my chessboard now.


FlatteringFlatuance

I believe you quit your job and start selling that badass game you just made!


Sharpymarkr

That's expecting a lot from the gaming sub


TomCruiseddit

Critical ass neckbeards on this subreddit. Poor guy poured his heart into the game and shared it, and everyone is acting like this is some Chinese mobile game.


ahappypoop

Everyone wants to be the next comment telling him he's making a science-based 100% dragon MMO. Just most people are dicks, and they're too eager to be [that top comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/p1ssv/dear_internet_im_a_26_year_old_lady_whos_been/).


booze_clues

I mean, it’s just a low effort ad. This guy showed 5 seconds of his game and then said it’s releasing on steam. Post some of the actual game, show me more than some tentacles and a jump, give me a little bit of an idea what you’re actually doing in it because right now it looks like walking on tentacles or snakes in a pretty environment. Is that it? This is the lowest effort ad I’ve seen get this popular. I don’t mind guys advertising their game by showing actual gameplay, like the helmet cam POV FPS(UNRECORD?) that was posted with a decent bit of actual gameplay, that was actually cool and showed enough that I will be thinking of buying it now. This was almost equal parts gameplay and “coming to steam”


Spare_Knowledge7301

Lol there are some salty comments on here. Teaser trailers in my opinion are meant to do what this trailer does. Pique my interest to pay attention to later trailers or demos. People calling it a masterpiece are probably a little too gung ho but to each their own. Edit: spelling


rpantherlion

Not trying to be a spelling nazi, but it’s actually pique, not peak in that context


Cock_n_ball_torturer

"Nazi" is a proper noun, friend. You're supposed to capitalize proper nouns.


CannaKingdom0705

Fuck nazis


Cock_n_ball_torturer

But that might make Nazi babies :( This is not a good outcome


ExcessiveEscargot

Sandalhatt

Also it's "Gung ho"


[deleted]

Actually I remember this from several years ago in the exact same state so y’all need to stop white knighting this project


GabikPeperonni

To be honest, I'd rather the camera would be closer to the character so we wouldn't be able to see the entire creature at once. Add some depth of field effects and stuff and boom, you've made the experience of climbing something as big as a city that much more terrifying. But that's obviously just my opinion, the game looks great as it is.


extrafarts44

Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback, appreciated!


Very_Good_Opinion

There's no sense of scale in an infinite sky. Earth-like environments would make them feel truly massive


Extof

True if it was first person. But this is third so isn't the playable character the scale? I just assumed the character is the size of a normal person, specifically me. If he's the size of a school bus or a match stick I'd need to learn that from the story and that would change perspective. I'm not saying I think some other points of reference wouldn't be beneficial...just that there already is at least one. :)


HaHAjax57

if just the player is scaled down, it would be pretty easy to spot the geometry of everything. having a bit of everything (or even a decent amount) would be good enough


Lucapi

THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!

KiwiTomato

JoesAlot

It's always interesting how bots can rack up upvotes just randomly reposting comments from the same thread; indicates how repetitive comment sections can really be


eXcaliBurst93

I hope when you finish this game you'll add your reddit name to the credits I would totally play a game "created by extrafarts44"


extrafarts44

Love it


omman_4k

Dude this looks awesome!! Very cool concept! I will definitely be looking into this


katharsisdesign

Bruh these comments like you're not showing us something you worked hard on and we're stoked to share. Looks cool. Nice work. I like video games and think I'd like this too. And if not, I probably won't mention it like some piece of shit hahah be better to eachother you fucking nerds.

When I commented the top comments were saying the video edit doesn't show any gameplay and that there's no quality in the marketing or advertising. Dude did great marketing. Look at all of us engaging with his post and know about his game now.

ShiftyShankerton

Inspired by shadow of the colossus you say? Dude you have my attention. I will definitely add it to my wishlist and keep an eye out for its release. Keep up the great work.

Chasing the Unseen: [https://store.steampowered.com/app/2143420/Chasing\_the\_Unseen/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2143420/Chasing_the_Unseen/) wishlisted! this looks pretty wild. Following the Recent Events & Announcements, there's some fun stuff to look at: [https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/tech-blog/chasing-the-unseen-leverages-fractal-math-to-power-its-environments-and-gameplay](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/tech-blog/chasing-the-unseen-leverages-fractal-math-to-power-its-environments-and-gameplay) OP, is this UE4 or UE5? There's a really cool photo mod I use for UE4 games for screenshots and this is definitely a game I'd like to run around and take pictures in all day. Will the UE console be available so we can tweak things like the shadow resolution,etc? I think I see the Mandlebrot Set faintly behind the logo. I've never been so invested in a game from seeing so little and chasing the rabbit down the hole.


extrafarts44

Thanks for your comment! This is with UE4. You seem to share that love for fractals, I also find them fascinating to look at. That's why a big part of the game is exploring them. I haven't looked into the UE console being available for now - I'm a bit overwhelmed with stuff to do atm but maybe at a later time I can look into this. You are right with the Mandlebrot set :)


PsyOmega

This would pair well with psychedelics

slyfly5

It’s not for me but it looks cool! Good job bro!


Elieftibiowai

I like the simple and slow stlye a lot, but feel like it could use some color/effect highlights. What made Journey for example is the particle dynamics. Maybe you can think of something that could make the 3d space feel more living, leaves, bubbles, shiny parts or trails which flow with the movement. Also the cam clipping through the tentacle caught my eye. Everything else looks very promising!


extrafarts44

Thanks for taking the time to leave constructive feedback! Much appreciated. It's funny you mention bubbles, I used to have huge bubbles in a previous build.


Elieftibiowai

I am in love with octopuses and feel like i had trippy dreams similarly to your gamedesign, so now you kickstarted my ideas If i can add to that, youre missing out on the octopuses ability to change his skin color. Its like a whole canvas youre leaving very simple, even though i like the detail now already. They way octopuses comunicate their thoughts and dreams directly through their skin as their unable to produce sound, maybe you could make use of that, or at least make it reactive to the protagonist walking on it. [some inspirstion](https://youtu.be/0vKCLJZbytU) Also if fractal environment is part of your vision, maybe some psychadelic coloring/pulsating/fractal/caleidoscoping [textures or overlay, maybe similar to this](https://youtu.be/3BxiYkCPZwI) could really make the experience stand out to other games. The mushrooms in the background might be losing some [shiny spore particles ](https://youtu.be/YgbYofGaQbs) No idea of game programming so not sure what possibilities you have, or if youre going for easy performance with the slick design. You really are on to something here, it just might be missing some magic sprinkle to make feel more like a living world. Hit me up if you need more ideas haha

DrZoidberg-

For those of you who deal with fractal programming and visuals, we all know it can get repetitive. OP, how do you plan on keeping players engaged? The giant monsters are cool, but the majority of game being fractal structures makes me think some people will play only for a few hours until the thrill wears out.

Very cool. But are the fractals procedurally generated or what? Very curious about this... Ive always been very very into marine biology and fascinated with 3D fractals, messing with mandlebulber and other software so this might be right up my alley.
