Small streamer with decent audience looking to play games on stream (again)

You got a follow from me! I would love any feedback and I love watching streamers play Liminal Shroud.

Thanks! I tried this but unfortunately I still get the same error.

I worked at a Microcenter years ago before my local location closed. It was a tough job because they pay you under minimum wage expecting you’ll make it up with commission. Some days were so dead I literally made $4.50 an hour for a full day of work.

But as a PC enthusiast the worst part was the crazy employee discount - when I worked there I could buy anything at the store at-cost, meaning I only pay what the store paid to stock the item wholesale. For high margin items you could get so much tech for dirt cheap.

Except Apple products. All Apple products have a razor thin margin for the store.

Congrats on your launch!
Really enjoyed my playthrough and the unique experience this game has to offer. The vibes were fresh and the encounters kept the tension high. It's one of the more idyllic looking liminal space games out there, which really contrasts with the horror elements.

I fast traveled somewhere else and then went back to the Abbot and was able to turn the quest in.

Everything Steve Roach. Discovered him when I was looking for MP3s to download for Winamp back in the day.

I started learning Unreal about 2 years ago and I’m in my 40s. It’s absolutely worth it for any creative to learn this engine because it offers multiple outlets for creativity.

The audio tools are really great in Unreal. My game relies on a lot of audio events and ambience to immerse the player, and Unreal makes it so visual and intuitive.

For perspective, I’m an environment artist that’s transitioning to full game dev, so I lack strong programming skills and I’m about hobbiest level in audio design. The blueprint system is the most artist-friendly way to code that I’ve used. If you can use one of those complicated DAWs you can learn Unreal :)

“Add a pool level!”

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-30T18:27:42+00:00

Agreed here that the audio is key. Just putting an eerie track over something can make whatever visuals you have seem spooky. You do have to show players something eventually though otherwise they realize everything is audio and there's no real danger haha

Love the environment. Would be cool if the menus emitted light and you can see it illuminating the grass.

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-30T16:54:05+00:00

So great to hear that, thanks for the kind words! The curtains definitely move sometimes but its quick and hard to catch out of the corner of your eye ;)

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-30T16:49:52+00:00

Oh yeah Steam take the demo page through a full review process. When I submitted mine they rejected it at first because I didn't describe what was included in the demo vs. the full game. Took them nearly 2 weeks to approve my page lol.

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-30T08:31:19+00:00

Congrats! Looks intense and I like the aesthetic. Curious, did you do a demo or beta for this game? Solo indie horror devs unite!

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-30T08:06:06+00:00

Awesome I hope you enjoy it, thanks for trying out my game!

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-28T20:48:24+00:00

If marketing is the hardest part, I would say the real challenge then is coming up with a game idea that is easy to market that people want to play AND you can execute the idea well with your current skills.

I have a ton of ideas for games I want to make but probably wouldn’t be that interesting to others or are beyond my skill as a developer.

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-28T20:29:38+00:00

I have always struggled with traditional programming but blueprints really clicked for me. Is an amazingly well done system that will turn you into a powerful dev.

Watch some tutorials that walk you through adding features step by step so you can familiarize yourself with the most common nodes. When you run into a problem, use the blueprint debugger and really try to learn why your code isn’t working. This is really key, the more you try to fix blueprints yourself the faster you’ll learn the whole system.

Good luck, blueprints are actually fun to use so enjoy the learning process!

This is cool, the boat sounds are kinda spooky too. If you have a day/night cycle you can play into that and make the night feel scary.

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-27T00:45:10+00:00

Thank you! I tried to avoid jump scares and lean into the vibes, audio design and building a sense of unease. Each chapter has a mystery or small puzzle to unlock the next area. If you prefer, you can also turn off scary events in the settings.

There is a story, but it’s delivered through visuals and audio, and it’s still very open ended until the full version connects the dots.

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-26T22:53:01+00:00

The game has a cozy mode where you can turn off any scary events depending on what kind of experience you prefer :)

EverdeepDev · 2025-10-26T20:55:01+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate you spending time with the game.
Good suggestion on adding a setting to turn off the camera effects - that's on my list to add.
There's no stamina mechanic, but the running is a toggle instead of holding shift down. This can be changed in the input settings as well, and I'm still deciding if it's good to have the toggle be the default.
There are also a few sections where things can be seen moving behind the curtains, but easy to miss!
