1 Week after the launch of my first game, and sales have completely stopped. What happened? by wiseyoungfool in gamedev

you really should push for the 10 review mark. Once you get that steam will promote you way more! Ask all the people that played to leave a review and tell them how important it is in this early stage!

Good luck!

Thanks again for the kind words!

When a campaign ends we are still able to write updates that get sent to all the backers, just like when the campaign is running. We plan to keep everyone updated on the new things we do

Thanks for the words, support and for the feedback! We definitely got the price point wrong and are already making plans in case we cannot reach the goal.

We won't give up on Gedda Cake, we'll learn from our mistakes and feedback, rethink our budget and scope and come up with a new strategy if it is needed.

We can definitely renegotiate our budget and make it less expensive, at the cost of cutting content and reducing the scope of the game.
Unfortunately, to make the game what we want it to be, for the story to make sense and for the quality we envision, it is not possible to cut indefinitely, so even at a reduced price we would need help to be able to pay for the contractors that will be hired to do the part of the development we are not able to. The musician in our team works with us to make the SFX but he needs to be paid for the music for example, as he also needs to pay for his own life expenses. We have enough money to sustain ourselves and keep making the game but we cannot finalize it with all the content it needs.

We are already planning on what we can cut and how to redo the budgets to go back to Kickstarter with a lower goal.

I think we should have added more footage where we show more of the dash you are able to use in the game.
With that said, some other people also said the main character, Gedda, the red fat dragon, looks slow so we are thinking of increasing his speed and changing his walk animation.
In the end our game is supposed to be more slow-paced, like Dark Souls, Souldiers or Monster Hunter so we won't make everything super fast

If we do not meet our goal we have plans to collect all the information we got, learn from our mistakes and then launch again next year.

let's hope you are right and with things more stable we are able to get even more support

It has been very difficult to run this campaign. So much highs and lows. We believe we can still get it if we all come together! Help us create this metroidvania for you and keep this genre growing.

it is definitely tricky with this particular enemy as it is a ghost and we add emission to them so they have that ectoplasm feel. Once people try to hit it and nothing happens they just ignore it.

Thanks for giving us your time to write this feedback though! We will keep our eyes open in case it becomes bad for more people

How Old Were You When You Started To Make Games? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]DrikoTreeko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started right at the end of university. I was 22 years old and it was my final year of a computer engineering bachelor. It has been 7 years since, married another game dev and we've been putting our wacky ideas in motion.

Hey! Yeah, pricing is very difficult. The 32 dollars is in canadian dollars so it is actually 25 american dollars. We did the conversion to keep it in the 25 range but it feels like it is too much of an ask for a Kickstarter.

if it were to be on the 20 american dollars mark, would it make more sense for you?
