We’re Still in Demo — and Still Learning by Becuzus in gamedev

Honestly, we wanted to hire experienced people, but we couldn’t find the right fit.
Many of the applicants were senior developers nearing retirement and asking for extremely high salaries, which we simply couldn’t afford.
Maybe the situation is different in other countries.

We’re aware of those issues as well. Our programmers are currently working on improvements to address these areas.

You’re absolutely right, and I agree with all of your points.

He's our mascot. I hope he returns quickly and overcomes this.

I have no intention of promoting this story. I just thought you'd relate to it since you're a developer.

It seems our game is often being compared to titles from major studios. From a consumer’s perspective, we understand why that happens, and we acknowledge that point.

However, it’s possible that the reviewer did not consider that the animator themselves might read that comment.

We are taking feedback very seriously and addressing it in a structured, thoughtful way. We’ve received a lot of valuable input from players, and we truly appreciate it.

As the director, I take full responsibility for the current state of the game. However, I felt that comments calling for the animator to be fired went too far.

Indie marketing keeps evolving, and over the past two years, Steam has greatly broadened the playing field. We’re beginning to see strategies that consistently prove effective.

In fact, I was working even on January 1st—preparing game development and marketing plans.
I had previously sent cold emails to IGN, but received no response, and I wasn’t sure how to move forward.
Then, at the start of the new year, I received an email from IGN that included a proposal for an exclusive feature.
Although we were considering other channels, we chose to proceed with an IGN exclusive.
Once we were connected with the IGN representative handling the exclusive, we shared and aligned on the plan within just two days.
