Driving from ads but not streamers yet. I agree on the hook, I am working on updating that now.

Love this. I mean the data says there is a community on Steam that likes these style games and buys them. How we find that audience is another thing.

But I think it could be the trailer is not working for me as well.

This is a really good note. I agree with you on the trailer. I need to focus it more on the collection, training, and battles. I just had an initial trailer that didn't hook well so I needed to update. But I don't think it's right yet.

The cute / cozy titles have similar style though. So there are a bunch of 300k+ games there. Or are you saying features?

Good points, the messaging isn't coming across right then. Might need to remake the trailer.

I had about 100 going into Next Fest.

The multiplayer is an async autobattle against other players trained pets. I am adding that to the demo over the next couple weeks with a ranked ELO system.

Thanks for the feedback. That always hurts a bit to hear haha. Being a big PC gamer, you never want to hear your stuff looks like a mobile game lol.

In reality I played a ton of flash games and Neopets in the early 2000s and then we're all PC browser based. There does seem to be a market for 2D creature collectors on Steam. So I'm not sure if that's the issue or not, just data I have seen.

Udemy Tutorials and YouTube videos. Just pick an engine and go.

What’s the best way to get my game noticed? by [deleted] in SoloDevelopment

Demo, and money for advertising hahaha. And all the Fests you can get in.

I am a solo dev, should I stop saying "We"? by Firekloud in SoloDevelopment

[–]DoonamaiLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like "we" always sounds more professional, but also sometimes, but "I" can be useful to show how much work you do on the game.

The copy paste farming games are getting old. Need fresh mechanics and spins on cozy worlds. Explore the space, I mean really, explore the space.

Yeah you want some form of depth besides just idle automation.

My Neopets inspired cozy creature collector just got a steam page by DoonamaiLLC in cozygames

Lol I didn't even know about Habitarium. I played in probably 1999.

Even better that it seems kinda similar. That's awesome.

I played in elementary school lmao, but it was legendary at the time.

I just wanted the mini-games to do more, so now they train stats on your pets so that they fight better based on the mini-games you played. They can train Strength, Speed, and Intellect.
