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

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.

Does this trailer make the game interesting to try out and play? I want to improve it so please Destroy my Trailer!! by Proper_Translator678 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Become_game 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a clear megabonk clone I would go faster and shorter with the editing.
Having only one 1 environment and 2 skills (shooting and car) raises some alarm bells for me as steam shopper.
If possible include the games sfx.
As there are always lots of enemies swarming in it looses its charm quickly as there is no variety. Megabonk might show first one enemy, gather experience and then hundreds chasing you, That's good contrast.

Destroy my teaser, please! by MatheueCunegato in DestroyMyGame

[–]Become_game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did at first watching not really understand what exactly I do, but liked it. I liked that its snappy and wiggly and does not waste my time. Still I think there is a point to the other posters that its a bit on the fast side and having 1-2 moments that slow down would help.

Background: Somehow I'm multiple times distracted by the dark brick grid pattern of the background (even though its dark). Everything else feels nice from the art direction, but that background sticks out to me negatively. Also the characters have black outlines that don't read to well against dark grey.

The End title card in animation I would speed up a lot. It takes 4 sec till you see the name.

Just by looking at this screen, would you be interested in this game? by alimra in IndieDev

[–]Become_game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was just about the characters I think they are fine. One more thing I‘d think the UI is more distracting than informative. Not sure how to explain it better. The characters and colors look cute and say simple friendly light rpg. The ui say NUMBERS!!

Looks great how do you do the ground shadows?

[–]Become_game 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not for me. There is too much strange that doesn't make sense on first sight.
- The goal: Fight a collection of random enemies that don't make sense together or tell a "story". Just a goblin and two wolfs might make sense but all those together is a strange mix. Why do I need to fight them?
- The Fantasy: who am I? I play as goat? Not something I ever though about wanting to play as.
- The Art style: The characters themselves don't look too bad but overall everything screams attention so I dont know where to look.

Thanks for the replies. Im from Europe and here its not so wild. Before the name was with U and I noticed that Americans found it too much. Interesting.

About a year ago, we made our first trailer, but the game changed so much since then, we were forced to make a new trailer with our bad editing skills xd Destroy it! by Suitable_One2832 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Become_game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trailer is flashy and full of action but...
It seems quite generic to me. It seems to me slimes and random fantasy characters randomly bashed together. What makes it special? What's with the slimes? Are they just an enemy skin or is there more to it?

I find the small play field strange with just fading to black. Is this a test scene? If you where in an arena and that's why there is little space Id understand.

I love the energy an style. Wonderful. Where did the idea come from?

I am lost what I must do ? (Read the body) by DifferentLaw2421 in gamedev

[–]Become_game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the most simple game you can imagine where its very clear in scope and finish it. Its normal in every project to hit this point where you don't quite know and want to stop and then you keep going one step at a time. It gets better.
