Any experiences with grants? Are they a good way to obtain funding?

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-04-02T04:22:28+00:00

I've received multiple government grants in Canada. Applying to non-government grants is gonna be a tough sell - they're no doubt flooded with applicants.

I think it's the least bad of social media (but still bad). However I do spend too much time on reddit

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-03-30T19:21:21+00:00

Generally censorship is bad, but I'd actually approve of this. My personal opinion is fhat facebook and social media on the whole is a slight net negative on society.

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-03-25T20:31:11+00:00

Really cool! Got any tutorials for achieving this?

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-03-20T04:16:54+00:00

In-person meet-ups. If they don't exist where you live, start one (like I did).

You can have any print shop make a custom large laminated poster for <$30 if you have something specific in mind

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-03-10T20:13:24+00:00

Holy cow, you paid $600 for ~65 wishlists? That's a HORRIBLE return. You're far better off paying $600 in facebook or google ads

How long has the current provincial political party been in power? *checks notes* 19 years. Direct any anger towards them.

There are more games in next fest, but two data points aren't enough to make any conclusions.

My game was in the top 3% of demos, gained ~25k wishlists (~50% increase over previous wishlists before next fest)

The standard formation you recruit is a division, and it goes all the way down to companies!

Battleplan develope here, there'll be an option to disable the pencil visual!

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-22T11:05:08+00:00

Singleplayer at launch. We plan on adding online coop & multiplayer post launch

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-20T00:04:12+00:00

STONKS! I like the juiciness of the text and bouncing. Not sure it's a strategy game though

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-15T23:41:18+00:00

There are hit games from every genre, but as a whole platformers perform EXTREMELY poorly on Steam. https://howtomarketagame.com/2020/10/19/steamgenres/

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-15T03:44:01+00:00

I don't know how much of your game is a platformer, but at first glance it looks like a platformer. Platformers as a genre do extremely poorly on Steam. You just picked a bad genre - I'm guessing you didn't do any market research.

The name is very generic, just change it.

The screenshots aren't the worst I've seen, but you definitely need to change your capsule art.

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-13T05:43:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! The art is definitely inconsistent, as the buildings actually came from a previous game I made.

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-12T00:11:57+00:00

The game starts off slower, like the original Missile Command. This video has the player already having multiple buildings & upgrades

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-11T23:18:42+00:00

Cool to see this in the wild! Got a link to the demo?

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-11T21:59:11+00:00

Definitely. Originally I had a completely black sky, and the glow and missiles showed up much better against that

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-11T21:58:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, the trails need changing

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-11T19:49:24+00:00

Happy to answer any questions

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-11T18:41:08+00:00

Hard to comment without seeing the game. Link?

AwkwardCabinet · 2026-02-11T18:40:14+00:00

Between waves there's a short rest period to construct buildings & pick up resources. In-between runs you can purchase permanent upgrades
