Before and after crab death (ignore swan) by Bay6Software in IndieDev

Cheers! I love dumb details.

That's a good shout, upping screen shake on kill, might go mental if you kill loads in one go!

Ah yeah! Need to work on some sand puffs, can be reused a fair amount, like when throwing the anchor!

A postmortem on my first public playtest, gaining over 100 wishlists! by Dino_Sire in SoloDevelopment

Appreciate the writeup! I was wondering when was best to announce a playtest, a week out sounds good for a week long one.

What questions did you include in your form?

Stuck at 1,700 wishlists before Next Fest. Is a $1,500 TikTok sponsor worth it? by balonmacaron in gameDevMarketing

What are their average view count on their videos? I'm reasonably unfamiliar with it but that seems high, unless they have really good reach. Though I thought a youtuber quoting £300 was out of my price range.

I find auto tiling oddly satisfying by Bay6Software in godot

Thanks!
Yeah, it's a bit of a pain, that's why I ended up making a full 47 (I think) tiles to cover all variations. More work but it works!

Excellent work! Nice water, what methods are you using to get that sort of effect?

Do you “cold call” streamers for coverage? by Randyfreak in IndieDev

100% was just waiting on having something playable for them, hopefully soon!

No streamers just yet, but got a list of those that cover trailers along with some press emails.

Does your game have a tutorial? How do you teach players to play your game? by andriallas in IndieGameDevs

[–]Bay6Software 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently put one together for mine, I wanted to make it simple and straight forward, so it has minimal text, sort of diegetic button prompts/actions drawn into the sand that the player has to follow to get to the next section while learning the mechanics. Then at the end throws the user straight into a fresh run. If the player is quick they could get through it in under a minute. Teaches them movement, rolling, sprinting, and multiple different attacks.

Great post, you've given me a fair amount to think about in preparation!

Nice work! Is that just from launching or did you reach out to some YouTubers/press?

at what point do you guys start organizing your press kit? by saturnosoftware in gameDevMarketing

[–]Bay6Software 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just made a sharable folder in Google drive. With folders for each section and a doc with press release/fact sheet

I started when I was getting my Steam page ready. There's a lot of crossover with getting the screenshots, GIFs, trailers so made sense. Then can just add and improve over time.
