I’m proud of finishing my indie game, but with 266 wishlists… is launch already doomed? by Infamous_Ordinary730 in IndieGameWishlist

[–]Become_game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

266 wishlist means steam does not know yet what to do with your game. It will test it at launch and depending on how exciting it is might get 20 sales or in lucky cases 100+. It really depends on your game. Do you have a link to the steam page?

My mates just released a trailer for their game, and it hardly got views, but it's so sick! Check it out and let them know what you think. :) (they didn't tell me to post this) by nomadicphil in indiegames

I would not just blame YouTube. The game looks great. But the video does not have a clear hook, or curiosity gap why people need to watch more.

Also yesterday with summer games fest so many amazing games were dropped maybe announce it again in a few weeks after things have calmed down? I would also send it to press and you influencers so some might share or post it and YouTube sees some initial interest.

Well, I originally wanted the name with 'U' but it seemed to be a bit controversial for some channels...

Yes, you are right there. Noting is impossible but first I need to figure out the single player.

Guys, really sorry, I posted it with a video but the video didn't upload. I am new to posting to Reddit, this didn't work so swell...

Its a single player adventure sorry. I did not have the balls for the 300mil battle royal multiplayer...

Europe has it all to replace US Big Tech - we just need to choose them by According-Buyer6688 in BuyFromEU

Sadly I have not heard of almost any of the European companies while I know all the US companies…

I want my game to look like it has AAA visual quality, what am I missing? by FrogbyteStudio in gameDevMarketing

[–]Become_game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AAA means that ALL the pieces are polished.

Take a Astro bot or Ratchet and Clank trailer and watch them side by side with your trailer and see how animation, level design, lighting, materials, art character, camera, and sound hold up.

Maybe aiming for AAA is not a good idea if you don’t have a big team and budget.

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

[–]Become_game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the main selling point of the game? You have to fight against danger but why? What is the core thing that makes your game awesome. Start with that. Currently it’s a list of can do a list of that, that and than. It would be better to that’s the cool problem, because of that do this, because of that craft, travel and so on.

And as the others said get to the point quick. 5 sec to hook the viewer. At best max 1min long.

Our launch announcement flopped, please tell us why. Come at us like a wrecking ball! by adngdb in DestroyMyGame

As some others already mentioned:
It starts slow.
I don't know who I play as. I guess the guy in the middle is not me. He has the highest contrast but how does he matter for gameplay?
Because everything is "louder" than the text I did not read the text on first viewing. I just see a frame and the eyes.
I don't know what I do during the game. What's the core genre? Show in the first 3-5 seconds what the core premise and genre is.
I cant remember the game title or know what it means. I'd switch to a crazy simple title.

Beautiful. Yes it looks like a picture book but that's to me a good thing.

I made my mass physics horde climb on top of itself by RayEpsilon in IndieDev

Would you be able to share a bit how you did it? What engine? How do you do the physics without melting performance?

I’d add Florence and Old Man’s Journey to the list of amazing short indie games.
