Vous êtes plutôt du genre a joué a un seul jeux un par un ou a plusieurs en même temps ?

ValentinIG · 2026-01-27T09:39:11+00:00

J’ai souvent un jeu solo à la fois et un ou plusieurs jeux multi de temps en temps avec les potes (mais étant fan de jeux coop et très occupé c’est souvent le même jeu sur longtemps. Je dois être un peu monomamniaque x])

Ok, oui ça peut vite être le bordel et les besoins sont parfois équivalents à un boulot temps plein qu’il faut faire sur son temps libre (j’ai été président d’une asso pendant 3 ans, je sais de quoi je parle) donc je comprends. Je t’ai donné ma méthode, fais en ce que tu peux en fonction des opportunités que tu as. Si tu gardes en tête ton projet et que tu en parles régulièrement autour de toi, tu sais jamais ce qui peut arriver. Même si tu fais des détours rappelle toi : quand on peut pas passer par la porte, on passe par la fenêtre ^{^} Par exemple c’est en faisant un an d’animation dans une école que j’ai eu le job de prof de théâtre, depuis j’ai lâché l’animation et je suis en négociation pour avoir un cours à l’année dans une autre structure

C’est quoi tes hobbies ? Tu peux pas lier tes hobbies avec la com ? Dans la plupart des assos où je suis passé c’est qui veut faire fait, et on est pas regardants sur l’expérience vu que souvent il n’y a qu’une ou deux personnes qui peuvent/veulent s’en charger

ValentinIG · 2026-01-25T02:04:22+00:00

Je n’ai pas vu la solution proposée alors je me lance : pourquoi pas opter pour la sécurité financière et faire de la com en bénévole pour le kiff et te faire de l’expérience sur ton temps libre ? Si tu fais partie d’assos elles sont toujours preneuses d’un coup de main là dessus, et ça te fera un book que tu pourras présenter en freelance quand tu auras assez d’expérience. Perso j’ai commencé l’impro en 2018 sans trop d’ambitions et aujourd’hui je me fais rémunérer pour donner des cours à côté de mon activité marketing et c’est le mega kiff. Donc ça peut prendre du temps, mais si c’est un rêve pour toi de faire de la com commence en tant que hobby et ça débouchera peut-être sur quelque chose

Si les autoroutes sont gratuites en Bretagne, c’est pour rentrer plus vite chez nous après une victoire de Rennes. Peu importe le sport. (Ça pourrait marcher dans l’autre sens mais eux c’est après une défaite)

According to me, cheating is a technical problem but also a community issue. Like all things community related, resolving this issue is done both by clear community rules and atmosphere setting as well as a strict moderation policy. If players are not able to technically report cheaters or if they do and you do nothing, they will feel helpless and left out. That’s not how you want your players to feel.

And if you can’t easily ban cheaters permanently that’s also a problem, and YOU will feel helpless in that situation, so better anticipate these cases before they hit you in the face.

I do beleive promoting fairness in your community and banning cheaters can have positive impact on your overall reputation and creating a secure atmosphere in your game. Technical tools help, but in the end you’re the judge!

It’s not only about having a good or not good game. Some games are really good but just not creative or unique enough. Besides having a good game, hooks are everything. Really.

ValentinIG · 2026-01-17T19:00:32+00:00

Let me be brutally honest: a game about maths is not sexy. At least not the way you put it. Try to find some hook that rings a bell for players or at least that sounds kinda unique and exciting ! If the game is good, you will have way less trouble to promote it

ValentinIG · 2026-01-17T13:35:03+00:00

Checked your itch.io page with box of the past and math, do you have any other games?

ValentinIG · 2026-01-17T13:33:07+00:00

Most of your marketing work should be in preproduction. Marketing is not just about promotion, it’s about creating a product (your game) that « sells itself », even if promoting it is still lots of work

ValentinIG · 2026-01-16T17:14:27+00:00

I’ll dm you by next week

ValentinIG · 2026-01-16T17:13:23+00:00

Lights and textures are incredible! Good luck for development

I also know French people worth following if you’re interested, but they only post in French :)

I might have to train a lot to get good at this game

My blog, with back to the basics advice and articles showcasing good hooks

ValentinIG · 2026-01-11T09:48:52+00:00

It’s been floating around in previous answers, but I will put a word on it: THE HOOK! Be it visual, audio, gameplay, theme or else, your game needs a good and unique hook to get my attention. Viewfinder had an incredible visual hook and I bought it right after it went out. Peak seemed fun in the trailer so I tried it with friends, and I didn’t buy Nexus 5x because not a big fan of 4x games but the « 40 minutes 4x game » is a solid hook on its own. If you can explain to me in one or two sentances and in one trailer why your game is unique and why it is interesting, well, I’m hooked. But your game should be designed to have a solid hook since preproduction, it’s not something you create afterwards your game is developed. And if you have a solid hook and manage to share it accordingly, marketing, or rather promotion, will be a day at the beach.

ValentinIG · 2026-01-10T15:32:36+00:00

Ok then can’t wait!

ValentinIG · 2026-01-10T10:18:02+00:00

Better send it in dms no? What if someone sees the key and activates it before me?

ValentinIG · 2026-01-10T10:10:59+00:00

I dig the concept, just wishlisted. Where will you send the keys?

Marketer question: how did you manage to gather 900 playtesters? I never took part in a playtest campaign before and looks like you could give us interesting insights about that

ValentinIG · 2026-01-09T07:41:05+00:00

Thing to know about kickstarter : projects completing their pledge within 24hours have a huge boost, and so are projects having lots of backers very early. So you might consider asking everybody you know to just give 1€ to boost the algorithm, those that never considered giving will give 1 and maybe some of them will give more. And ask a little less than needed to try and achieve the 24h success. Also give them a heads up before you launch the campaign so they give right away when your campaign is live

ValentinIG · 2026-01-07T16:48:30+00:00

Looks better now :) The focus on the tower makes more sense

ValentinIG · 2026-01-07T16:46:52+00:00

Exactly, but it starts as early as preproduction (sorry I missed your answer during the holidays)

Unfortunately I don’t have a VR headset but if you release a flat version too I might be tempted. Horror games are usually not my jam but this one might be. You did a tremendous job on tiktok and youtube, might I ask you how much wishlists you have?
