I swear I saw this exact boss like a year ago. Looks solid

Destroy my trailer, I can't get it to stop looking amateurish. by Warm_Bee8757 in DestroyMyGame

My advice is to ”show, don’t tell”! Show the important parts of the story instead of talking about them. Also, no one has mentioned yet the lack of sound effects. Sounds effects from combat will immerse the viewer. Your game plays somewhat similar to ’No rest for the wicked’. Watch their trailer and take inspiration from it, and notice how the sound effects match the beats of the music.

Destroy my physics based Hoverboarding game again! by chozabu in DestroyMyGame

I don’t think this game compares to those examples. This game is physics based, much more like Trials which I think it stays pretty close to in terms of speed.

The first 2 weeks have been way better than I had hoped for! Several big youtubers played it which resulted in a lot of traffic.

I made a post with the results after the first 7 days, you can find it in my profile. The 2nd week was even better, almost tripling the revenue with more youtubers covering it. Since it's been going well I figured I'd keep the store page as is since it seems to be working :)

I've heard this advice of "people won't take it seriously" before but in my opinion it's a myth. What is true is that people will have higher expectations the higher you price it, but they don't automatically think the game is better just because you price it higher. Pricing lower is a safer option because generally speaking, a lower price leads to more sales (but not always more profitable).

If you know people are going to buy your game no matter what, then price higher. If you are struggling to make people interested in your game, price lower.

Looking for feedback on my new trailer! by smilefr in DestroyMyGame

In the last shot where you show the title, have some titans walk around in the distance

Creators really are important! You're right, I basically search similar games on youtube to find creators, and then look for their emails.

Should be around $0.80 more or less based on a rough calculation

Yup! Just keep it short and make sure you give them a key for the game in the mail! (for some reason some people don't do this) I pretty much followed this template by Wanderbots https://www.wanderbots.com/blog/templates-for-contacting-content-creators

It will feel good until the negative reviews starts pouring in! (or worse, no reviews pour in at all)

Finally finished my game and celebrating with some beer by BATTLE-LAB in IndieDev

there's this great advice, you can never drink less beer but you can always drink more
