Here are ways I made my game Frog Corral feel alive! All through coding techniques and not any practiced art skills. Let me know in the comments if you have any other ideas!
I'm an indie developer making a cozy little game about rescuing frogs and solving puzzles. I'm here to show my progress and offer some game design tips. Don’t miss out on these devlogs :)
It's called Frog Corral. You must rescue a group of frogs by bringing them to water. Use your little frogs to help each other and solve puzzles along the way. My goal is to release this game January or Februrary 2023!
And now it’s released!! Play it at: radnyx.itch.io/frog-corral

Oh god from the title I thought this was gonna be another "Using an AI to help make a game" or whatever, but it turned out to be way cooler! You've earned a sub from me my friend.

make the plants swing left-right based on their UV's V coordinate, so the higher the pixel in the texture the more motion. this makes the bottom most pixel stay in place.

This reminds me of an old mobile game about taking care of frogs that i liked as a kid. I don't remember what it was called but it was nice

@radnyx_games
@radnyx_games 9 місяців тому
Thanks! For this game I used Phaser. It’s light-weight, good for web games. Though you can achieve all that and more in engines like Godot or Unity.

@radnyx_games 9 місяців тому
Cool! I will say Phaser will involve a lot more coding upfront. But it’s all a journey anyway so don’t stress which engine you start with. Just get a feel for making games and have fun with it :)

Hello hello, game looks really nice. I noticed the hovering platform area, looks a bit empty, at 0:54 , I suggest put some mud or snakes kind of creatures in the mud to make it appear deadly instead of just a hole. All the best :)

Duly noted. It may not require art skills, but you definitely have an artist mind to make it look so nice.

sick game but i think it would be awesome if there was a level creator and a level browser so you can play other peoples levels!! (games with unlimited content are by far the best and keep the playerbase active) you'd have to verify the level first before being able to upload it similar to Geometry Dash and Super Mario Maker 2 i think in user-generated levels, buttons should be color coded to the doors to be less confusing for the player. (if two buttons are connected to one wall then the colours could be half half or there could be a small plate ontop of the door showing all colors of the buttons which are inputs to the door on the small pockets found on the plate. limit the maximum buttons connected to one wall to about 4 because people could spam buttons and it could be really annoying) another suggestion - i think you should have an encyclopedia, and every time you find a new obstacle and complete a specific level which teaches you about it, it should appear in the encyclopedia and the player can understand what it does more deeply. (i have no idea what pink buttons do...) hope you're thinking about adding these into the game!! good luck on finishing it too

Haha a level editor would be fun. Thank you for the feedback! I’m wondering if there‘s a bug? Currently pink buttons go with pink doors but maybe they didn’t load correctly.
