To the dev, don't stop. keep working on it, but maybe take the games down for a while and work on just one of them at a time polish it up enough to properly sell it as early access, and keep working on that one project, two projects at a time is too much and you will get nether to a sellable state.
I'm working on my first game for more that 2 years. Unreal 4, only free assets (each month they give 4 payed for free, so there is that) and i make the main char voice, and have 2 friends do the others. It's slow, but i'm gonna get it at least playable and fun for it's 3 hours of gameplay ahahahah
I remember talking to the developer on reddit about Selene’s model. Everyone was warning him to change her appearance, because she looked like Scarlett Johansson. Btw, I think only one dude from Mexico, is making these games.
AI voices are getting scarily good. Honestly if the dev cared a bit more they could've spent more time messing around with the parameters to actually get the speech to sound right but obviously that's the least of the game's problems
Those AI synthesis videos of Dr. Breen from Half-Life, David Attenborough, or Joe Rogan all sound like the real people. They even get the pauses and inflections.
The cover of Unbearable seemed kind of familiar, so I checked a few of my libraries and to my dread I had somehow picked this game up in a bundle or when it was given away for free on itch.
The Main Character is almost the standard character that comes with an 3D software called Iclone 8. Even the hair is the same. All other human characters in this game are also from Iclone 7 / 8 and some are adjusted from Character Creator 3 and 4 (from Reallusion).
@@jddplays2757 I once listened to a whole podcast about this. Gruesome stuff. But yeah, decapitation does not kill you instantly, since your brain is still intact.
I think there are some nuggets of gold in this game. For starters some of the enemy designs look good and creepy. It does seem like this was a passion project. If the game got some slightly better coders to revamp the mechanics then it could be just fine Oh and get some voice actors too and ditch the text to speech. Even BAD voice acting is better to listen to than text to speech, which the first couple of Resident Evil games are proof of
This actually seems like some level of effort was actually put into the game, but the developer seems to be new to game development and is trying to punch way above his weight.
The baby spider head thing is so funny. Especially because you mentioned Sid’s toys. We’ve got a person locally out here who went to the dark side, harder drugs. Sometimes the joke gets brought up that they look just like that same spider baby. Ah.
I feel like you could make a horror game with text-to-speech voice acting creepy. Either do it in a David Lynch "everything is just weird" way, or use it for certain characters to make them seem off.
i disagree calling this lazy and an asset flip, it's clearly made by a person who's just got into game development and has deep love for the genre but has limited resources. It's rough around the edges but it's very clearly made with love
It's kind of refreshing to see the monsters just doing human-like martial arts trying to KO Selene and Olivia through blunt force. Also, it's insane how fast they can both dodge. They should consider competing in contact sports.
The subway tunnel is 100% an asset flip, the same exact map was used in another indie horror title called Connection Haunted a couple of years ago (albeit with a low poly look)
It’s pretty funny that these games are higher quality and clearly have more effort put into them than 90% of shitty games on Steam. Sure, they aren’t the best, and clearly lazy, but at least it’s not just completely phoned in for a quick scam.
Main issue is the scale of the game was too big for an indy. Too many gameplay elements, too many enemies, mechanics, locations. Even if they flipped assets the devs probably spent months and years on this. A tighter more polished game would have made great RE clone with investing the same effort they put into this huge scale.
With the title and intro, I was expecting this to be about a series of indie games with Resident Evil inspired concepts. Rather than a full review of two poorly made indie games. None the less, I did enjoy the commentary and overview. I also appreciated the quick list of games to check out. A couple of which I happen to have on my list already. On a smaller note, I somehow misheard you say "Katamari 2" In reality you actually said "encounter from RE2"
When it comes to 'Resident Evil clones', none have come closer than Daymare 1999 - it's love letter to the old school survival horror games, not just RE but also flirting with Silent Hill at times.

@@dawsonages9204Oh come on... It's not exactly terrible, it's just extemely unpolished. I actually have high hopes for the second game and hope they'll fix at least the most aggravating flaws of the first one. They had some good ideas and good spirit after all.
@@dawsonages9204 I don't know, I really liked it, everything apart the one section that is a homage to RE6 near the end. Then again, even that kind of fits to the whole 'paying homage to all the things in survival horror'.
Daymare claims to be a true old-school survival horror game and yet it's completely linear, losing the entire appeal of the gameplay of the old games that inspired it.
Unless Jason brody's brother taught him something it's hard for me to believe he went from partying rich college kid to stone cold rambo harder than it is to believe lara croft who's trained for a pretty decent amount of time to survive and shoot did pretty much the same.
would you rather have working mirrors or ~15% higher framerate across the whole game?(Global clip plane) In the game they could have used the old copy to a dummy method tough.
Surely developers could use the more expensive rendering method when there's a mirror nearby or in view, and use a more efficient method when there are no mirrors. There's no reason to account for mirrors in the rendering pipeline if there are no mirrors in the level.
@@450AHX no they sadly can't, the rendering pipline usually does not use a global clip plane, enabling it requires recompilation of all shaders with added instructions.

Dude Nightmare of Decay is so underrated. I played the survival mode way more than i should, the whole thing was surprisingly good. Glad to see you give it some exposure.
It is surprising they didn't add adult content. Western-styled adult content in a Steam game doesn't need a special filter so it won't harm results, that's proven beyond-a-doubt with BG3 after all.
Gman if you or anyone rly cares that jank Cyberpunk song is called "Danger Snow" by Vidjanny Santo, I think it's a public domain track I hear it every now and again.
Did Gman ever play Signalis? I feel like he reaaally should if he missed it. Judging by the indie horrors he recommends here, it would be right up his alley. It's an extraordinary game.
Okay so I got an ad in this video for a local martial arts dojo using background music that also sounds exactly like that track from Cyberpunk 2077. Just thought I'd point that out since not many others are going to see that ad unless they live in New Hampshire
The reason why the mirror looks like a television it's because the mirror seems to be a plane put on the wall with a render texture on it (in case you don't know what that is, well it's a texture that renders what a camera sees. So basically there is a camera in front of the plane, and the texture of the plane renders what the camera sees). The reason why you can't see the monster it's because the monster game object has a layer, and you can set a camera to not see that specific layer, in this case the camera behind the main character.
Yeah that abomination head spider in the sewers is just a free unity asset. Looks like they actually made an effort to give it some texture so that puts it leagues above some of the other times i have seen it with its default texture. Despite the jank someone actually put in some effort to make this game and that is nice to see :)
To be fair at least in the Tomb Raider remake. They do explain she had a teacher who taught her how to fight and survive before the events of the games.
I think Rabbit Hole, the Heaven Dust games, St Dinfna and Dead Beacon are the best of the indie horror games that took notes from early survival horror. Some of them hew much closer to the formula than others, but the important part is they were all actually fun. In more general terms I'm surprised that the Lust for Darkness games seem to float below the radar for a lot of people.
You should try Echoes of the Living, it has a pretty long demo, 2 characters. And the jankiness and sweet ambiance we love that OldGen RE2 /3 had. Should release this year.
“Unity asset store Jada Pickett Smith” had me spray my coffee out of my nose.
