It's been a month since I released Punch A Bunch on Steam. In this video I sum up how the release went, reception, how many copies I sold and what the future holds.
The game I'm developing is called Punch A Bunch, it's a physics-based boxing game with a lot of focus on the player practicing developing enough skill to defeat all opponents in the three championships included in the game.

This instant feedback and update loop within the first month is incredible post-release support. Take a bow, honestly. The alert for unblockable attacks makes the game _so_ much better and isn't something you would think of without a ton of different skill levels testing your game in the wild.

@ekzac Год назад

I am very impressed with the solution he applied to the unblockable attacks, it's just an amazing game design detail that improve the experience so much! I felt that in the two short clips in the video, imagine while playing!

unfortunately, if u make games in godot u couldn't released that game on other platform besides pc, and there is no marketplace assets, so u need to do all by urself, and there is not much tutorial about it, and sadly in current version 3d game is not as good as unreal engine even unity. but u can make good 2d games by using godot.

@randomsounds2167 Год назад

@@aryantzh2028 Firstly what is this responding to. Secondly, I do admit that there are fewer free ports that handle controller support such as unity and unreal's system, Godot still has quite a few ways to implement controller support. Thirdly the new 4.0 beta patches most of the 3D issues that Godot has, adding new default shader materials, annotated async, and GPU-based particle collision which is a gift from god.

The number one contributor to performance in UE4/UE5 is actually real time shadows. You should consider turning them off for anything that isn't directly on the arena. And offer a shadow quality option in the video settings. EDIT: The instruction videos can be fixed by changing your video codec to VP9 or AV1

@shannenmr Год назад

I didn't see a Resolution Scaling option in the Graphics Settings in the video as that could also open up the option for people to say play with 720p render resolution but upscaled to 1080p so its their monitors native resolution, also there is probably a lot you could do to improve the performance hit for the crowd so people don't have to disable it completely like doing the movement with the GPU not CPU and disabling shadows etc if they are on (could switch the Disable Crowds to a Crowd Quality setting to allow for multiple improvements).

@Decager Год назад

in the early devlogs he was doing multiplayer, im not sure what happened with that tho

@ElMoy Год назад

@@Decager multiplayer is hard, it makes each code thinking about more than 1 person, for example, for cameras, the player has his own camera to see everything, but if another player gets in playing, he must get his own camera, the problem is that there might be now 2 cameras at the same time and game won't know which to render, so basically you need to do more job for a simplistic thing as cameras, it's just an example, but yeah, give it a try thinking what to do if in your game you were accessing to enemy's health trough the game scene, in multiplayer this couldn't be done since players are spawned only when joined to the server (which means they don't have access to the scene), multiplayer makes something that is easy, hard, not being to deep but also there is something called server and client authority, basically, should we trust everything a player sends? What if he hacked the game and changed the box abilities in runtime, as it Is client authority based, no one would know if he is cheating, so, multiplayer is way too HARD, need to think about all this things just at the beginning of the game, at this point I don't think he would be adding multiplayer to the game since he should rewrite the entire code, is just not that profitable

@@ElMoy There is so much freaking hurdle when developing a multiplayer game, and u choose to first talk about cameras, which.. really isn't difficult to handle?:p All those things u said are a hurdle. Quite annoying, cause u need to think about more and some weird interactions but nothing particulary difficult. It just takes some time and test loops. However, getting your online run at the first place, managing buffering, syncing, player to player interactions. These are difficult to manage. For example, there is a delay between u pressing block and the other player pressing attack. For you, u pressed block first. For him, it was his attack. What will register?

@ElMoy Год назад

@@fIayff well, of course if player works as client and server then it will read the host first, if it's any other player then it will register the first one who touched the key, you could work with client prediction for things like that, the real pain of the ass is having to think much more than in a single player game

I worked as a tester for a while and one thing to bear in mind is "Developer Difficulty". During development you play the game so much and have such a deep understanding of how everything works, it can make it really hard to judge how difficult your game really is. After a few hundred hours of playing the same section of a game over and over, I could breeze through it with my eyes closed. The experience is totally different for a first time player going in cold... and bear in mind the average player is probably never going to spend as much time playing the game as you did during development.

@themonsterunderyourbed9408 Год назад

Hey! Someone that gets it instead of blurting out idiocies like "giT gUd nOoB!!". Also, to all the developers out there: these "beginner's trap" mechanics where something unpredictable and new instantly kills your character with no chance of avoidance aren't fun. There's literally no way to avoid them or know about them before you experience them and it just feels like a cheap cheat to artificially increase difficulty or length/content of the game.

@jopearson6321 Год назад

Absolutely! It's also easy to underestimate how much understanding of a few key concepts can be transformative of the difficulty of understanding something. For instance, imagine how hard it must have been to understand hygiene if you don't have a broad awareness understand of what bacteria are, how spread, or that they even exist. Nowadays that knowledge can seem so foundational it can be tempting to think of people in the past as somehow deficient, but they weren't. In evolutionary terms nothing has happened and they were pretty much exactly as smart as we are now. They just couldn't know what hadn't yet been discovered. The difference between people in the past and people now is much the same as between a developer and a newbie player. When developing systems (games or otherwise), even if, as a developer, you're only average at games in general (and I suspect that the typical developer is towards the higher end), the knowledge you possess about your game's systems, both mechanically and philisophically, gives you a massive advantage over a beginner. Because you have a cohesive and holistic perspective of what your product is and does, and how its meant to be approached.

@Zadamanim 10 месяцев назад

Sound engineer here. Mixing and mastering are sometimes confused but they are both important. Mixing is when you change the volume levels and add effects like reverb to bring out the most of each instrument, making sure you can hear each one clearly relative to each other. Mastering is when you change the overall bass / mids / treble and add compression / limiter effects to the ENTIRE song rather than individual instruments, with the goal of making the song as loud and clear on any sound system as possible, whether it's through phone speakers, nice headphones, or massive auditorium speakers. Many people listen to music in the car, so always listen to your songs through car speakers before release.

@vincev4630 9 месяцев назад

Could also just add EQ filters on the master chain and cut off some lower or highier frequencies to hear what a car might sound like.

@Zecayyyy 9 месяцев назад

😊😊😊

@bearsleethere6996 7 месяцев назад

I agree with this definition, will simplify the definition of mastering to be "the preparation of a song for distribution" using master buss compression, aka making your music sound as loud as other relevant songs in the field (usually measured in LUFS. For energetic beats I aim for -9 LUFS, for something more dynamic or acoustic they'll be a little quieter around -11 LUFS). >Basically you compress the master to make it louder then EQ it till it sounds good again, then pass it through a limiter or clipper and measure the LUFS< Or tbh just hire someone to do it!

@Later_Nerd Год назад

Definitely don't let the casual audience lead you astray from your vision too much. Sometimes people will just expect to be great at every game straight out of the gate. This feels like a game that would do well having a bit of a learning curve to it. If you listen to every negative piece of feedback and adjust accordingly, you will be appealing to the lowest common denominator. Not everyone will be great at this game, and that's the way it should be imo. Though with that said, it shouldn't be overly hard either of course.

@iRywo Год назад

@@kingbling7571 as someone who's worked as a freelance web/app designer and web/app developer, he actually has somewhat of a point. Yes, the game should partially be valued based on time of work that went into it. If he spent 3 years working on something, then 15 is a very fair number, especially if the game has at least a few hours of playtime. But of course, spending 10 years on a game does not equal that the game is worth 100 bucks unless the game genuinely has a level of content that's far beyond even triple a games. Games aren't made in a factory on a belt, making games is expensive and creating them, especially on your own when you're not only focussed on pushing out game after game year after year, take a lot of sweat, tears and a massive amount of varied skills (3d modelling, coding, animating, marketing, and so on and so forth) A balance has to be found between the amount of work you've put in, and the amount of content it contains. In the end, a game is a luxury, you don't need it to live, but it's a great entertainment when you do. Just my take on it. But saying that he shouldn't ask for a certain amount because the time of work it took to create said thing is the opposite of the truth (to a certain degree, again, can't go asking 200 bucks for a game just because you've spent a quarter of your life creating it)

I've been following the development of this game for a long time and I am extremely happy to see it out there. You've improved every aspect of your videos in the last 2/3 years and I'm happy for the deserved success you got man. Keep up the good work.

@frederikjrgensen2754 Год назад

If you decide to do "infinity-mode", you should try to experiment with power-ups at certain levels. Let's say after beating 5 opponents, the player can choose between 3 power-ups. These power-ups could then be good/neutral against different types of future opponents. This would make the game mode different each time it is played. Anyway, just an idea I got, haven't tried the game but I really liked following your progress.

As someone who's getting into 3D Modelling & Animation, I really like how you made different opponents with just 1 main body. It's always best to reuse assets whenever possible to both lower the lag output within a game AND to ensure you meet deadlines at a faster pace. May try to recreate that Boxer Body myself when I've gotten good enough at Blender to test my skills.

Did you ever get the audio issues sorted out? What are you using to master? I also run a small recording studio so may be able to at least offer some advice.

@JonnyMorfoulis Год назад

This game looks so fun - I feel like keeping it fresh and fun down the track could maybe be having like stats for your guy where newer gloves and hats gives you more power, more adrenaline and agility. Then you could make your bosses harder again in ways but then your output of your guy is better based on your items you’ve unlocked.

@Thornskade Год назад

It's for the better that the Verified badge is so strict. It's supposed to be the Deck's official library of sorts, and things are supposed to be convenient and automatic like on a console. So when it asks for the name it really should open the keyboard for controller or Deck users

@leanmussel6446 Год назад

I didn’t really think the puppet was that unfair. I had the most trouble with hurrican to fight. Other than that I think the enemy balancing seemed pretty fair across the different fighters. Also I got most of the achievements was satisfying to work hard to get some of them. Great game keep up the great work

@chillbizz74 Год назад

Honestly I am dissapointed with the players who disliked saying it was "too unfair" or "star system sucks" while some fixes were great, some other fixes like removing the stars to progress hurts the progression a bit and Ponty is no musician.

@jonathanhoward1499 Год назад

@@chillbizz74 I can't belive some people were complaining that the character you have to keep your distance from would beat you if you got too close... absolute losers playing the game. He should have tips before each fight giving light hints on how to deal with their strongest tools.

@chillbizz74 Год назад

@@jonathanhoward1499 Kind of yeah but you ever heard of a beloved Nintendo game that the fans love except for Nintendo? Punch Out! It's a boxing game that focuses on trial and error, while Doc (your coach) gives small tips like like watch out for this move or whatever. The game can actually be very unforgiving with some fights but that is on purpose to force yourself to learn how to beat them like figuring out you can instantly knock out one of them by timing a star punch well, it encourages you to keep playing and that's what a game developer's job is to do (to encourage you to keep playing their game and make it to the end)

I just found your channel 2 days ago, bingewatched an entire playlist, saw "11 month ago" on this vid and already miss your videos. It's such an inspiring journey. Also I just saw in Community tab that there will be a massive devlog after release of your next game and don't understand why. It feels like a lose-lose situation both for you and for us. We do not get cool content from you, and you have less (if not at all) community feedback (unless lack of feedback is part of the reason, like maybe you wanna try what you can do totally by yourself). Speaking for myself I would prefer 10-20min vids over small period of time than 1 big vid once a year (or more lol)

@imsosillyteehee Год назад

I actually have another cool idea for the star system. It sounds like a lot to do (and it definitely is) but what if you can unlock bonus leagues with newer more challenging fighters? Another cool thing you can do which I think is actually cooler is make it so that when you collect every star in a league, you have access to a harder version of it kind of like punch out's title defense mode, where each boxer re-matches you with a harder difficulty! Idk, but I would at least like you to consider either of these. Really good game btw! Worth the wait.

@jammesdean Год назад

Wow this sounds like a tough time, with all the troubleshooting and bug fixing. Huge props to you man for staying so on top of it every single day. Personally I think with maybe a new mode (infinity, “arcade”, zen, etc..) the game would really come alive for a lot of those people who initially left negative reviews. Sometimes having only one way to play a game can restrict it to a narrower audience. Still though, great work on everything!
