Been lurking Lemmy for a while, I finally decided to post something. This is a game I've been working on with my wife. We're working towards game play like Rampage X Risk of Rain 2. Game will be coming out in 2025.

I would love comments and feedback!

It looks pretty neat to me! Definitely will check it out and wishlist it. A quick question, you said like risk of rain 2 so will there be items or upgrades or something? Just curious. Looks neat!

Thank you for the kind words!

Yes, I am currently working on a monster evolution system. Similar in concept to how items in RoR2 can be used to "build your character" but very different in execution. I put some details about this on the description on the steam page.

Looks fun. If I can give any advice, I would avoid comparisons to other games as that also invites unnecessary criticism.

Also less metal and drums, and more sound effects (like with the kick at the end).

Fleshed out, I would give it a go. There are some public domain creatures you could absorb, like anything Lovecraft.

Thank you for the very valuable feedback!

Current music is stock, but I have someone working on something more custom.

This originally started as a Kaiju Simulator of sorts, but I decided I could have more "RPG design" fun with classic monsters. I definitely intend to incorporate a lot of different monsters each with different goals and abilities. I'll be sharing more details on this soon!

Rampage?

Risk of Rain?

Taken my money!

I love scenery destruction, well done.

Thanks! It's a custom system and has been a lot of work!

So 3D Rampage. Hope The Rock will be in this movie too. He was kinda flat in the first one.

[-] chromatic@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That movie was so disappointing! It had so much potential! I thought it was cool that the Rampage monsters had mutations, but it didn't really end up meaning much.

Yeah I swear this was just like Halo.

  1. Find a movie script that was barely related to the thing it was originally supposed to be about

  2. Change a few small things in the script so it would seem like it was supposed to be about that original thing

  3. Slap a title on it that will drive ticket sales

  4. Profit.

It barely had anything to do with Rampage and I played a lot of that game when I was in high school.
