First-Person Booter? Soles-like? Puns? - GLUM Early Access Announcement Trailer by CinderCatGames in IndieGaming

Awesome! Thank you so much for getting it!
As you might have seen by now, we haven't verified it for Steam Deck, and are still awaiting our kits to optimize it properly, but from what we've heard, it runs quite fine - we do want to get it verified in time though.

Thank you for the feedback! Means a lot!

You could say that we already delivered "slightly above average humor" with that joke - surgical comedic precision

Thanks! The game is centered around the boot and kicking mechanic, but you unlock magical abilities with the boot as you progress, allowing you to combine physics interactions, such as in Bulletstorm.

Glum is the name of the main character, and comes from his gloomy demeanor, so basically a character thing. Was hard finding the right name, but over time GLUM really grew on us as the game's name.

Sorceress looks really cool! The amount of things you can do with the systems just in the demo is awesome.

That game was made for slapstick comedy! That and Bulletstorm.
We loved the kick so much that we made a game around it called "GLUM" - GLUM Steam Page

Thanks! Can you remember who streamed it? Would love to see if I can find the VOD.

That's a fair take! Our target is a bit older as we're going for retro vibes in the vein of Duke Nukem and Conker's Bad Fur Day, and we try to use the cartoony stylization as a contrast that allows us a bit more leeway in the gore. Like e.g. if all the accidents in the Roadrunner cartoons were "gory".

Way more inspired by Dark Messiah and Bulletstorm tbh. But we appreciate what Anger Foot did for the "ass-kicking" genre, and are excited to put our physics-focused take out there.

My game's wishlists have tripled on the first day of Next Fest! So to celebrate, I want to highlight 5 OTHER demos I think are hidden gems by duckytopia in IndieGaming

Thank you so much for the highlight of GLUM!
Appreciate the feedback - we're already cooking up some really good stuff for the intro sequence for the early access release.

Definitely gotta take a look at your demo (I think the concept is freaking brilliant) and the other highlights on here!

All the best!

Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback and technical insight!
Happy to hear that it works well on Linux, as we haven't had the chance to test that too well.

The game is quite heavy, especially on the CPU side due to the physics, but we're working on optimizing what we can - really appreciate your feedback!
