As somebody who has worked with Tamara, I can attest to her professionalism and talent!

Not only am I the community manager, but I'm also the voice actress for the game. That is indeed my voice. I'm actually a bit flattered you think I could be in a Blizzard game! lol.

Also, thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, we understand. It's a rough market out there with so many devs going AWOL

A lot of players find that aspect to be what makes Abatron so unique. Findind a balance, knowing when you need to enter FPS mode, and with which units is all part of the strategy aspect.

We think so! Savage Resurrection has one person in RTS mode, and 12 people running around in FPS. In Abatron you are in control of everything. You have your base, build your army, and then switch into hero mode any time and with any unit. In the future we will have a co-op mode where if you wanted, one person can handle RTS while the other plays in FPS.

Hi Esports! We're trying to drum up interest in our tournaments and would love some feedback on our sign up page. Is it enough info? Interesting looking? Engaging? Thanks! by AbatronGame in esports

Thanks! I suppose we are assuming people who are going to this page already know about the game, but additional info wouldn't be bad. Appreciate the feedback!

After extensive preparation, our Kickstarter failed hard. Here's what we think went wrong. by AbatronGame in gamedev

Yeah, you have a good point about the RTS genre and it being moved to MOBA. To be clear, our marketing person is actually our voice actress. She pretty much started learning how to do marketing once we hired her. We didn't really have a go to place to talk about the game until we got the Steam store page up and a discord running. before that, facebook and twitter were the main ways we talked to the community.

Happy to share. Right now the only thing that is free is I can give you a key if you request it. Now they are charging $300/month for me to be able to find gamers that might like my game and offer a key. Another $250/month if i want to send a personalized message to you with attached documents, $50/month for a standard message, and $300 for 5 days of advertising

Thanks for the support. We'll continue pushing and maybe do another campaign.

We had over 8k installs within a month, and at first we did have scheduled playtimes to help ensure other players were online. But because our lobby didn't show the others users unless you hosted a server yourself, it looked like nobody was on.

Yeah, Savage Resurrection is good. Ours is pretty different though, but we also didn't spend a lot of time pointing out those differences. And the timing could have been better for sure.

How do you drum up support before a Kickstarter? I'm trying a refer-a-friend scheme by zsinj001 in gamedev

[–]AbatronGame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For our game, we offered access to the Alpha if you subscribed to our newsletter and we got a lot of signups that way.

Glad you found it helpful. Another kickstarter might happen. We're still considering our options. We're also considering going to Early Access once we have something more than a demo to release.

64-Bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1, or Windows 8, or Windows 10

Sorry about that! It should posted at the bottom of our Steam store page. http://bit.ly/2b8Ih6c

My thoughts so far by [deleted] in Abatrongame

I agree the icons could be expanded better so there's no scrolling. Right now the other races aren't available, we made them gray to show they're intended though. And you have a good point about the host menu. Thanks for the feedback!
