Hey there, I'm SpecterReaper! Sometimes I go by other names such as PlagueBomber or AlterReaper, but I usually go by the first one.
I'm a fan of many video games, the most notable of which are:
Shovel Knight
Touhou
LISA The Painful
Stardew Valley
Inscryption
Team Fortress 2
Pokemon
Ace Attorney
Persona
I'm also an avid enjoyer of YouTube Poop Music Videos, or simply YTPMVs for short. I've made a couple of them myself, which you can check out by clicking on that nifty little website button that'll lead you to my Linktree, which contains my YouTube channels!
That's about it. Have a good one!
#Devruary I joined a contest back in 2022 and won first place with a sweet reward of $50 Steam money
Making the game for that contest was also genuinely one of the best times of my life, not for any reason besides things just going very well at that time
I wanted to make something last year but I got hospitalized literally on the day of the anniversary oops...
Happy 14th anniversary to genuinely one of my top 5 games of all time, Ib!
#Devruary instead of the typical SP and TP bars, one of my characters uses up items in your inventory for their skills
I created the meters for the items myself, which took a whole day of trial and error to get it to display properly
#Devruary People still acknowledging the game even past its prime
I sometimes get a notif of someone commenting on an older video of mine and it turns out to be one of my projects and I go "damn, you still care about this?"
#Devruary Game's already playtested by others, they have no more feedback, it's all ready to go...
And then somehow, someway, there is a crucial bug (sometimes multiple!) that we all missed. Even worse if I record myself playing it when I release it!
#Devruary honestly any kind of feedback is always good, I guess the one that stands out are things related to making combat shorter. no one enjoys fighting an enemy for a long time, especially when there's the risk of losing all that progress if you lose
#Devruary I like to keep things under wraps until I feel there's something worth showing to the public. Before that, I tend to share in a private Discord server or DMs with friends.
#Devruary There will be some parts you're not good at, and if you don't know anyone that is good at it or don't want to ask them for help, it's okay to try and do it yourself anyway.
A bad-looking asset is better than no asset at all.
#Devruary Always. Have. Playtesters
Even if it's just one person, you need someone to experience your game from the perspective of your future players, someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of your game that will spot something you would otherwise not
