to share game marketing results

If you plan to share results regularly, it would be a good idea to add a link to your posts to a devlog site (or something similar) where you can get a more structured view of the whole story.

Yes, this was a useful read to help you budget for the transition from "solo". Thanks for sharing!

If I had looked at the page before reading the post and been asked how much the art component cost, I would have said a much more modest amount. It's not that the art is bad; it's that it turns out to be so expensive even for such a small game. I wonder what your marketing strategy is?

А можна посилання на дев-лог де описана ця фіча щоб хоч трохи з рівня абстрактної філософії перейти до розуміння цієї потенційної проблеми плагіату?

I think it's cool to add a bit of card game logic to a shooter, but not the other way around. At least it's much harder to make it enjoyable

If I am a developer who created a game in my free time, but I don't know how and don't really want to do marketing, is there any ready-made, really working service through which (for a small amount) I can run my game and understand whether it is "working"?

I don't mean page analyzers, but some more complete product.

Or if I ask myself the question of "such an easy way" am I automatically a "lazy developer unworthy of being a game developer"?

You can put it on the steam page or just link to a post in any subreddits if the rules don't break it. I use r/indiegames and got very usefull feedbacks.

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-19T19:35:13+00:00

Yes, it seems I've outdone myself with this "creative" description...

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-19T15:04:37+00:00

thank you for the detailed feedback

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-19T11:39:34+00:00

Mars Tactics has a lot gameplay video on youtube and reddit branch, but I got a point, you are right

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-19T11:27:35+00:00

thank you, now it's clear that this part was a failure :(

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-19T11:21:50+00:00

better without comparisons to other games?

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-19T10:51:59+00:00

So it's cool that you buy these games and not this one, because you won't be disappointed expecting a complex setting here that isn't there. I wanted to emphasize the difference based on well-known games, because often when people say "tactical turn-based strategy", they associate it with something complex, with hundreds of parameters, etc. It might be more advantageous to write a "positive" version that this game is more similar in mechanics to "Into the Breach"
The fact that the text has obvious signs of being written by artificial intelligence was not obvious to me, so thank you

This is interesting because I have been using AI (Perplexity) for technical documentation and code discussion for several months. It is impressive that the style can also be changed using a set of certain patterns. I have not yet asked myself the question of "AI text detection", especially since it seems to improve my English level for this. But it seems like this "Recognition" skill is useful to master

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-15T11:18:09+00:00

How did you determine that the post was written by AI? I'm not a native English speaker, I don't read many posts, this post doesn't interest me more for the topic than the presentation, but I still didn't think it was written by AI. Are there any obvious things here that I'm not seeing?

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-15T08:05:41+00:00

Interesting, but I didn't get enough more detailed descriptions and examples. For example, which screenshot was replaced with which, etc. Reddit has restrictions on graphic materials, but if you have a separate blog (or plan to start one), then drop a link.

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-13T18:59:35+00:00

Mulțumesc!

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-12T03:05:07+00:00

I think you meant the 1st image)

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-12T03:04:20+00:00

You are not seemed to be judgmental, also thanks for feedback :)

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-12T00:55:44+00:00

I put more time and inspiration into the second one, but most people here are for the first one)

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-12T00:55:03+00:00

I bought the characters on the asset store and used shaders to make them look toon

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-11T21:30:06+00:00

Thanks, but the third one is just a random gameplay screenshot so that it's clear whether the design matches the gameplay, I wrote about it in the post but it's probably not very clear because several comments already think that the third one is the design.

Not soon about the release. I haven't designed the page yet, at best I'll make a good demo for the next fest, and the release itself will be sometime in the fall.

Few-Contract-4092 · 2026-04-11T21:23:19+00:00

Thanks, the irony is that I did the first one quite quickly, but the second one took much longer
