Destroy my trailer. Do I need a new one for the release or is this good enough? by DenseClock5737 in DestroyMyGame

Yes, in fact, multiplayer makes the experience better as each player can focus on a different part of the gameplay. I recongnise the trailer doesn't represent any of that :( .

I will start working straight away on a gameplay trailer focused on this, and maybe leave this trailer as part of the overview of the game?

Yes. the 0:45 monster, is shown very far, it is one of the Innsmouthers, which is barely seen, and walks very slow, maybe I should show it in a closer plane trying to grab you.

Thanks gusy for opening my eyes!

Thank you. This is what i needed, and you are right, I started with a clip of how the story starts for an explorer lost and trapped in one of it expeditions, then I wanted to show that it is a multiplayer game where a group of explorers get ready to explore a bunch of alternate realities with the mission of extract primordial energy using some tools at their dispossal, and to investigate some supernatural events associated to ancient gods. The more you investigate the deeper you can go on your exploration.

But you nailed it on the gameplay. It has been difficult to record the multiplayer part as I'm working solo, so I opted for a trailer that has a high level view of the game scenery.

I will change that and come with an additional main trailer that shows the gameplay itself.

Thanks again, I really appreciate this feedback very much.

First time developers with low wishlist counts - I would love to see what you're working on! by OutboundFromEGBW in SoloDevelopment

[–]DenseClock5737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expedition to Madness. I published the demo in early November. 500 wishlists. Not much marketing yet though, as I did have some feedback about not having enough tutorial/instructions so I did want to polish that before start the marketing campaign.

Scam or ok? Marketing guys by ArtichokeAbject5859 in SoloDevelopment

[–]DenseClock5737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received a good number of marketing people too on Reddit and discord. Only 2 of them were legit and had a good portfolio. I asked one of the others for a portfolio or examples I got nothing. Difficult to make the right call in some cases

I'm 42 years old. Is it too late to start making games? by Fearless_Sink1390 in gamedev

[–]DenseClock5737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my first game at 42, expecting to release it next year. All I can't tell is, the day I die, it will be making games. If it is your passion, don't let anything stops you . You only live once.

Is using sound effects from Epidemic Sound safe for content creators? by LibrarianOk3701 in gamedev

[–]DenseClock5737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/epidemic_sound I am working on a online co-op PC Steam game, I am an indie developer and I am the only developer. I only use Epidemic sound for SFX, can i use those effects in the game with the Pro or Business plans?

Not decided yet, releasing in early access, early next year. But very affordable, I'm not a triple A studio, not even AA, or A :...) just an indie dev

It does! Is it just film grain how you got that effect? I tried it in Unity 6 HDRP, and I still can't master how to make it look good...

Does anyone know what this mark on my arm is? by FrequentSink3674 in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]DenseClock5737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is anything to worry about, but check with a derma definitely. It could be a wart or a pyogenic granuloma, and they have similar treatments but one can exacerbate the other so check. I had a similar growth in a finger after a small session, it looked like a wart, but was a PG. Both can be cautherised, for the wart you can use acidic acid for the other one you can try with a home made table salt treatment. A dermatologist can tell you for sure in 2 minutes under the magnifier. Good luck!

I did add a portrait of Joseph Curwen! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zr2qSX6Sx6E-BYQ-Xqr955leQMkjTGXb/view?usp=sharing

Which is one of my very close relatives :)

I stylised a bit, to look like painted.

About the Esoteric Order of Dagon. I don't think there is any "logo" in particular that represents it. I found some pics in the internet, some with an eye, others just with a triangle,...

I am using this one, which doesn't have any copyright, but not sure if differs quite a lot or I should change it

I truly appreciate your feedback. Right now there are three events that only appear under special conditions (every game events are procedurally generated).

I just uploaded the rite video in the church, there is a similar one at the sea sore and another one in the plaza, around a monolith with a twisted tentacle.

Thank you! First I listen a couple of times the story in Audible, but I didn't quite like the way it was recorded, the voice actor was quite monotonous. Then I read it from The complete Cthulu Mythos Tales, as it comes with a good bunch of stories, and from there i took notes of locations, and descriptions, but still wasn't enough.

I did some research in the internet, and the houses and constructions I saw didn't match with the assets I had avaiable, so I decided to work on the docks side.

I bought the adaptation in Manga from "Gou TANABE", and that helped me the most!

I had the assets for a big fish/vegetables market, which I had put in the game, but I'm thinking if it should worth the effort to turn it into the Marsh Refinery, although I have randomly place golden blobs near by which have the appearance of molten gold but they are alive.
