How did you achieve this graphical style? I got similar results in Blender with very weak emission materials and no lighting, but I'm curious to see how other people are doing it and I dunno where to read about things like this... I've seen this style of graphics in several games, now and all of them look really cool.
yo, thank you for playing! iirc the graphics in this one were made with unlit materials using shared image texture atlases -- something like this:
No problemo, it's a fun and hilarious game.
I prefer Imphenzia's method of using a single pixel for each colo(u)r in the texture atlas. The video also doesn't mention anything about how to get the "unlit" look, which is what I was after. Sorry for not specifying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still a relative n00b at gamedev/3D. But I think I might look for "diffuse" materials and see what those do.
this game should be on phones

I liked what I saw here! This was a really fun and most awkward game I've play since "Hi No Homo" a few months ago! I think the reason why I loved the game was because this has happened to me a lot in real life.
Adult Swim made the right choice by commissioning you for sure! Keep being awesome!
You played hi no homo too? I don't know why but I love games about awkward encounters 😅
Fun little game! Great idea here! Would love to see a bigger game with more locations and more types of people to sidestep!
Show post...
:D :D :D
Very cute, i love the art style
So this, much like Smash 'N Dab literally made my night. Genius. I need to go back and dig through your previous library. Seriously, I think you nail what I want in a fun little video game experiences so well it's like it was meant for me. So good. Look forward to all future releases.
Interesting (and highly relatable) idea, Will, and well-executed.
Great idea!!
It's fun to play 5 to 10 minutes, and I really like the graphic aspect of this "mini-game".
It's good work for a person who has done everything on his own. ;)
This is my record (I only played 3 games).
thanks so much for playing!
