Nice work mate! I really like the simple style and the palette choice. Only 2 things stand out to my (amateur) eye :) I would use the same technique on the wall as you did with the buildings i.e. The same brick pattern for the face with maybe a larger top stone (like the roof on the buildings only not as wide?). Also the trees may look better without the dots at the bottom and shapely detail instead like at the top, or even no detail? That said I hope you keep adding to the set, it's cool!
What a great idea, and superbly executed! How do you come up with this stuff :) It's on my list of games to try and make. Working out the different ball spin mechanics would be a good challenge.
Well done guys! Going head to head :) Leading up to the silly season might be the wrong time of year. I personally got bogged down with Christmas related stuff that had to be done first :( .... Maybe next time hey.
I reckon YouTube got a slap on the wrist from the FTC for not actively taking measures to stop kids under 13 making accounts or parents logging in for said children. They knew all along they were breaching the law with the targeted ads and data collection. They did however fail to highlight this and pass on the information which has resulted in content creators setting up shop and making a living under false pretences. Now the law is being enforced the consequences come as a shock to content creators who didn't know about Coppa which is most people I would imagine. Just for the record i believe we did actually land on the moon and it wasn't just filmed in a Hollywood studio :)
I would say its a huge deal. As you mentioned above, under the new rules the video becomes unsearchable,unlinkable and pretty much invisible to most :( It's unlikely you would get a fine (?) if youtube disagrees with your target audience. Surely the FTC wouldn't just take the word of the algorithm and review each case....but stranger things have happened I guess. like landing on the moon :)
The bigger problem for Indie devs might be the effect it has on those review or lets play channels. A decent size channel that has influence is definetely a full time job for multiple people with overheads. If they incur lots of false positives from the algorithm (i.e. get caught up in that catch 22 situation) or even get fined the channel will just disappear from lack of revenue. For Indie devs the advertising possibilities and avenues could reduce a fair bit.
Less Indie videos and more Fortnite...oh the horror of it all :O
Damn... I didn't realise there would be no sharing or embeds.....that sucks. The FTC is not the problem. They normally wouldn't go after people who make content for a wide audience. It says as much in the documentation about these Coppa laws. Only those that are trying to deceive or exploit children (like youtube). It is YouTube who are up to no good in this situation. Common sense dictates that there are more than two ways to classify a video but they refuse to restructure the site to accomodate those creators whose audience falls in between mature and under 13. Who knows why? But I can bet it has something to do with predicted profit margins.... That being said other video hosting websites do fall under the same law but should be fine if they operate properly. I guess you should always read the fine print when signing up. Something I have never done .... Until now :)
Tuuuuune! Thanks for sharing. Takes me back to 1999 :)
Wow! Epic mate :) Thanks heaps! Happy holidays.
The music included in the zip is excellent. Well done!
