Yeah. I got this one last year and it's treated me really well
Glad I could help :D
I do, but I´m mkaing a 2D platformer so almost anything works for me :P
So Deep Sky Derelicts is about to go live for early access in some 15 minutes, some let's plays are starting to appear and I'm basically going
And of course, after a couple of weeks of non-stop bugfixing, an annoying UI bug showed up today and gets to go in the known issues. >_<
It's still light on content, buggy and rough as usual for EA... but it mostly works and is out there, which is honestly pretty weird.
Here's a new trailer:
I like the minimal art style here. Keep going! :)... And another mini-update on my goofy little jumping game, actually made quite a bit of progress this week... albeit a bunch of small things. First off I added support for moving platforms now. They're fully configurable in my little editor tooling so that's nice, should be able to re-use the waypoint system for one of the hazards I have planned as well which would be ace.
High quality version
I also did a quick test of my game state/game settings manager by making a quick player 2 configuration and throwing two players into the settings to see what would happen. Surprisingly enough, it worked with however many players I added in there pretty flawlessly as long as they have spawn points waiting for them. No errors or anything, so I'm glad I future proofed that.
High quality version
And last but not least I added artwork for the invincibility pick-up, finally.

There are still some low-hanging fruit that need to be taken care of, like 2 hazards and lots of artwork, but at this point the biggest thing is just level design and lots of play testing to make sure everything is balanced and I've got the hazards and pickups to a point where they keep things interesting. I'm hoping to just put my head down, spend a couple days focusing on level design and balance so I can get a test flight build out to some of my coworkers with just the single player mode enabled so I can get some external feedback. We'll see how quickly I get distracted, though :D
Don't give up hope just yet -- that may not be the full list, or the sale might be rolled out in stages. There were a few items added to that list over the past few days, so the list might not be final.
I felt like I'd seen an extremely similar ball somewhere and I finally dug up a game I played part of, called InFlux: http://store.steampowered.com/app/246980/InFlux/I'm working on a ball rolling platformer that's obnoxiously shiny atm as a portfolio project, so there's that I guess.

Hee hee hee
The enemy's a bit hard to see, apologies, but I hope you'll still get the gist of what's going on here :-D (slightly higher res here: https://gfycat.com/FeminineSafeAngelfish)
(Also, yes, there's some mad screenshake going on, I'll tone it down)

An audio cue for the right time to hit and a another upon nailing the timing will feel super satisfying to the player!
Not much. Just a couple youtube videos, a few tweets, and an article on a local site.
I have Shader Forge, but I barely used it. I used an early version of Amplify Shader Editor and found it to be a bit more intuitive. ASE seems to be getting updates at a pretty rapid pace, so it might be the better long-term investment.
We are still hard at work on Bushiden. Currently focused on enemy implementation--AI and animations. Here's a WIP attack animation from the Kusaragama Lord. Looking foward to sharing more footage of the game soon :)
I know how hard actually finishing a game is, so congrats man!
Are you allowed to tell us what new rules there are, or is it a NDA thing?
