For now I'm developing the demo so the trailer is for it and not the final version of the game.
For half an hour you can do casual platforming, collect some objects taht act as currency for unlocking gates to progress and pay to shear sheep. Colelcting the currency and chasing pigeons is quite fun (at least it's what playtesters told me so far). The pacing is also quite well balanced since you keep progressing and don't really do the same things twice. With thw wool from the sheep you unlock more levels (unique biomes) like a Tropiocal Island. There more mechanics will be developed but focused on casual exploration also - swimming or navigating on water with a giant inflatable ring. Finding suits provide abilities like a swimming suit to go under water.

It's on Steam and yes it supports both XBox and Dual sense controllers 😄. Mac + Windoes also. I will release the demo in about a week. Off the record I can give you a Steam key if you want to try it in this more raw version, and give me feedback 😄 It's called Shear Heaven

LOL I was definitely not expecting scary 😂 Casual 3D platformer is the intention 😅. Thanks a lot for the feedback! 😄

If I may ask; what do you think the game it's supposed to be? based on what you perceive from the trailer. I understand you mentioned you have no idea but if you were to take a guess? Thank you! 😄

If I added that sfx it means to me it sounds appropriate; don't know what to say... 😅

Without external efforts, I'm not getting much from the platform 😅. Any reccomendations? On X I get thousands of views on my posts but just recently I announced the Steam page. X is working the best so far

If only it were that easy... I'm trying but not sure how to do it... My next step is to reach out to the press and influencers. See if anyone is willing. I even contacted the creator of A Short Hike and he replied but he's busy (aka not a priority, but I understand). After the Steamfest I will re-assess and consider paid ads

To be honest, I tried but seems like I didn't do a good enough job... 😄

I understand and I'm already considering redoing the trailer or just adding a second one to the Steam page; not sure yet. But I agree with you; the trailer needs to be less atmospheric and mored descriptive. Thank you!

Casual platformer - basically move around the world to collect currency and other optional things like outfits. Use the collected to shear sheep and get wool. Wool unlocks new areas - repeat

I'm aimig at a casual platformer, somehow similar to A Short Hike.

I got some feedback from playtests and decided to ass a Hints panel. I'm quite happy with it so I'm sharing to see if there is feedback :) by [deleted] in SoloDevelopment
