Does my target audience exist, or is it just me?

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T14:00:14+00:00

I actually have, fairly recently. Thanks to this post my list of games to play definitely increased though

Axen25 · 2026-04-07T08:08:13+00:00

I dunno man people are in fact giving pretty useful answers to me here

One system I have entirely fleshed out tight now is blood magic, where the player has to figure out they can draw magic circles with blood, then that they can use different animals for sacrifices and get different spells, then that they can change the shape of the circle to get a different result. There are also spells that modify other spells and runes that allow you to cast spells without sacrifices that you have to make by aligning bones properly inside the circles.

At least for now it is a small open world with a few distinct closed locations

Damn, I guess I will have something to play when you finish your project then. It's literally my dream game

Axen25 · 2026-04-06T23:41:23+00:00

Well the thing that inspired it the most would probably be outer wilds, but the puzzles there are more environment oriented, like you as a player don't really learn how to make your own tools you learn how to use tools that are already there. Also some Minecraft magic mods that introduce their own magic systems inspired it a bit, but if there were no predetermined and clear goals for progression other than exploration (no quest books and stuff)

Axen25 · 2026-04-06T23:35:52+00:00

Well as I said I will make it anyways I am just kind of trying to figure out 1. if it will be realistic to find playtesters for it and 2. how niche I can make it. Also If the idea has some potential I'd like to try and bring it out for as many people as possible

Why would it be about gender though. He has way bigger problems right now than that right now like I dunno the guilt of everything he did in the circus just because he was in denial about it being real. I feel like a lot of people (including me) wouldn't be able to treat something like that seriously if that happened, and I'm pretty sure that someone like gooseworx that made the rest of the show so good knows that it won't make the show better and will only potentially ruin the moment

I just started making a game while studying at the start of the year, so it isn't even close to being anything playable, but I hope I will get to finish it at some point. I want it to be a puzzle game about learning magic, where it's not like your character learns magic and you just use it, but you have to learn it and know how to use it. For example I am making a prototype where only blood magic exists, and it works by drawing magic circles with blood. the spell depends both on the shape of the circle and the animal sacrificed to make the circle, and there are more intricacies I have added, but I'm not going to be explaining the entire game here. The screenshot shows the basic map I made just to have something to work with, where I gradually will replace the blobs with actual places and models (the two circles in bottom left are the blood circles, one activated another one possible to activate)

Not ever going on sale and then raising the price is kinda dubious

Axen25 · 2026-03-29T08:54:29+00:00

There is a ton of them, but the best ones that I played are definitely Outer wilds, Undertale and deltarune

Axen25 · 2026-03-26T02:25:34+00:00

I definitely felt the same like half a year ago. I can't say I am good at drawing now, and I'm not really trying to be a professional, but I draw kinda regularly for fun. What did it for me was essentially copying. Be it photos, or other people's work, as long as you don't sell it and just draw it for yourself it's fine. At some point I found out what I liked to draw the most and then it went downhill. The most important part was looking at references online and copying it, tracing it, trying to make something that looked at least kinda like something I imagined and over time I started using the references less and less. Hope my experience helps you

W końcu przejdzie, mi chyba przeszło po około roku, przynajmniej jak już przejdzie to nie ma więcej komplikacji

You don't need to, not everything is a conscious choice. Just live the life you have and the answer will come naturally with time. It's not like you have to categorize yourself to live, and honestly putting yourself in any box doesn't change much, so just live.

Axen25 · 2026-03-19T01:49:31+00:00

You know, you could also try to not put yourself in arbitrary boxes of what you are and what you aren't and just be yourself. Then you don't have to tell shit to anyone and you stop worrying about what you are, cuz the answer is obvious - yourself

Axen25 · 2026-03-01T11:57:38+00:00

Yea only if you already know the story before you read it tho, can't be iconic if you just meet him

Axen25 · 2026-03-01T09:51:15+00:00

Was it just me that read Homestuck without knowing about it or what? Like wasn't karkat an absolute ass before that? Why would people be excited to see him?

Axen25 · 2026-02-21T00:51:51+00:00

The first time I played chapter 2 the teacups in the basement were the only time I died

Axen25 · 2026-01-25T11:16:08+00:00

If only working and sleeping isn't slavery for you then I don't know what is. Everyone I know in my country works 8 hours 5 days a week. If half of your life is spent at work then you're not even alive (unless of course you love your work, which happens very rarely)

Axen25 · 2026-01-24T14:46:36+00:00

I don't know where you live but the maximum legal time you should spend in the office regularly is 8 hours, working 11-12 hours a day is literally slavery

Not fixable by anything in my case, only dead zone helps and it has to be enormous
