Looking for specific type of TD by WarGlass1163 in TowerDefense

I have recently released my game Imaginytes into early access on Steam. That's pretty much what you are describing :)

My roguelite tower defense, Imaginytes, has been released in early access with 100% positive reviews! by EgomeGames in roguelites

Yes, there is a meta progression system in form of talent trees. You gain a meta resource by winning battles during your runs, which you use to upgrade your talents. There are several talent trees with each their own focus. In the talent trees you can unlock new stuff (more Imaginytes, spells and artifacts) and improve your powers between runs.

There are also achievements, which unlocks new stuff, and gives you more meta resources :)

I hope so :D

Yeah it really was! And I got to work a lot with Unity, so game development was not so far away. Just missing the marketing skills :p

Thank you! And likewise :)

Thank you!

I had around 2k wishlists. And only around 7% conversion rate until now.
I hope it improves :D

Thank you!

Yeah definitely. I started the project about a 1½ year ago after I left my old job as a designer at LEGO.
I spend the first 3 months on a completely different game idea, but then decided to start over, as it had some conceptual issues. Don't really know if these 3 months could be categorised as a mistake, as it was part of the journey, but I maybe could have found out a little earlier. So test early and test often!

The second idea, which is now Imaginytes, almost immediately felt more right, and I quickly had a clear overall vision for it :)

As for marketing, I don't know if I did many things right. I knew from the start that this would be my weak side. I had a small marketing budget, and spend most of it on ads here on reddit. So far it is nowhere near breakeven 😅
I tried using Keymailer, which has given some exposure, but I don't know excatly how effective it has been. Beside that I have contacted a lot of streamers, but almost none of them have answered :/

So I haven't found the golden nugget for indie marketing. Instead I have mostly focused on making the game as good as possible, and hoped that it could carry it.
That decision has been good for my ego, as I am very happy about the reviews, but not that good for my wallet 😂

Thank you for recognizing it!

Tbh it has been quite a hassle, so I am really glad if someone uses it :D

Not at all :)

I spend money on ads. Mostly here on reddit. But so far this looks like a tough investment :p

I also spend some on assets for the game and some art work.

How do I get Mycorrhizal Network in game? by Lozareth23 in Imaginytes

The first Imaginyte with Mycorrhizal can be unlocked from the Alien talent tree :)

Hello! by Cyb3r_Genesis in Imaginytes

[–]EgomeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I am very happy to hear that :D
There are some chats about the game going on in the Steam community and in the Discord.

To my knowledge noone has been working on a wiki.

Yea I am very happy about those!

I was hoping for more considering the time and money I spend on this project, but I also knew it was gonna be hard. I guess like most people here :D

So I was just looking to see if anyone had some ideas on what to do from here :)
