having played the demo and known the dev for years

one of the best ways I can describe Lucid is an "old-style game with modern improvements."

I could go on about this, but anyone familiar with any 90s games will immediately get what I mean from the first few minutes of playing the demo

I getcha, it's a LOT of stuff to decide when you're an indie dev lmao

do you already know how to make music?

31.12.2025 01:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Oh, I see!

So it's a temp track. It works well, though! Good reference for the game's future music

What are your plans regarding that, btw? Commission someone? Make it yourself?

This is one of the biggest reasons why I work with indie devs.

Could I make bigger bucks if I landed an AAA job? Maybe. But nothing beats working with people who treat others as people

I can help you with that sound design! Feel free to send me a DM whenever you want

man, this looks so good. You're a solo dev, right? Doing all the art, code, sounds yourself?

Lone Wulf Studio 2025 Indie Showcase Submission Submit 15 seconds of game footage from games you worked on in 2025!

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

Oooh yeah, it's because I see the white light from the pillar and assume "outdoors" ๐Ÿ˜… so trippy

18.11.2025 00:05 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

oooo definitely

also WHY IS THAT MUSIC SO GOOD in the "connecting" screen?!
It sounds like something between 8bit and 16bit, almost? so good

18.11.2025 00:03 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I've been procrastinating on it because I'd have to import the hardware - we don't make it here in Brasil - but you're right, I should!

Btw, whenever you need a composer, let me know!
I haven't worked with GB specifically, but I HAVE used chiptune trackers! And learning a new tool is always fun ๐Ÿ˜„

Is that geometry non-Euclidean? It looks vaguely mind-bending

Any graphic/UI designers can explain why this actually looks kinda great?

16.11.2025 21:14 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I was gonna shit on the graphic/UI design, but I find myself LOVING it the more I stare at it.

For some reason, this goes hard as fuck

16.11.2025 21:13 ๐Ÿ‘ 4 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

yeah, it's SUPER puzzling how there still isn't a real-life version!

I gave it a quick google, and seems like the best we have are *some* models that can be piloted via phone app... which steps on my pet peeve of companies needlessly introducing Wi-fi as an useless middleman in things lmao

If you want some help with the sound and music side anytime, including middleware stuff, let me know!

I'm open to actual freelance work, of course, but I also just like chatting about it, helping people figure it out themselves haha. Made a handful of dev friends that way, even

16.11.2025 19:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

oh, that's fun! So you just went for it!

Do you have a GB and the necessary hardware to actually play it on the GB? Or is that a thing for later, for now?

I had a little look at it some time back, when I wanted to know if I could play my GBA's soundchip like a musical instrument haha

16.11.2025 19:38 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Those little animal pens with turf roofs are so lovely. I wish turf roofing was more common

Man, there's SOMETHING really interesting you're doing with the sound design there...

I might be imagining it cuz I just watched Red's trailer and loved the bitcrushed music, but that's not just an EQ on the engine sound, is it?

12.11.2025 20:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Oh damn, that looks GREAT.

Transparent black is such a great design! I imagine it ages a lot better than other transparent colors, doesn't it? Though the yellowing can be kinda charming on its own...

12.11.2025 20:36 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

being an adult is looking at a game concept like this and thinking "this rocks actually. I bet it'd be so satisfying"

Actually, hold on. Why the FUCK don't we have roombas that we can drive wirelessly with a game controller? Maybe even slap a camera on it, so I don't even have to follow it around!

12.11.2025 20:34 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Wait, so it's ACTUALLY an official part of the franchise?!

That's crazy! How'd you land this opportunity?

12.11.2025 20:02 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

This is a very 90s main mechanic.

I mean that EXTREMELY positively.
The 90s/00s had these games where the main mechanic/concept just made me ask "why?" but then gave me so much fun that I forgot the question entirely.

It's kinda like the feeling of reading Douglas Adams

Hehe, they're fun! It makes me miss my GBC.

I wanna know more abt Dead Mines btw!
You're working on it solo? When did you start the project, and how'd you decide on GB specifically?

12.11.2025 15:35 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I noticed the voice acting! It's a really nice touch

Whenever you need some help on the audio side btw, let me know!
I've been in the indie audio field for quite a while now, but working on an N64 game is a challenge I haven't had yet, and it sounds fun ๐Ÿ˜„

I love how the pilot is basically just a helmet with lil limbs. It's so fun

09.11.2025 22:01 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Are you doing the sounds yourself, then?

09.11.2025 22:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You did good! I assume you're a composer too, then?

09.11.2025 20:59 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

For sure! I always love meeting new fellow musicians haha. There's a ton of really cool folks working in game music

Are they making the sound effects, too? I noticed the game does have some, but what really caught my attention was the music!
