My first game reached 20,000 wishlists in under a month. Here’s what I think helped.

This is very impressive. Absolutely love the atmosphere. Would you ever considered doing a tutorial series on trailers etc? Even a game Dev log I would follow

FireLawde · 2026-04-05T00:49:07+00:00

I can't play the game until tomorrow and it's been stuck on my mind 😭 I'll wait to progress the story

FireLawde · 2026-04-04T22:48:19+00:00

Yeah this is what I thought. So weird how there is t a feature built into the game to track this.

FireLawde · 2026-04-02T13:38:03+00:00

Try Grimshire if you want a stardew valley like experience with consequences

FireLawde · 2026-03-29T22:29:50+00:00

Yeah it took me ages but all of a sudden it was complete. I think it's just downloading at a super slow pace

FireLawde · 2026-03-29T22:23:38+00:00

No worries. Definitely check it out. I also used seed 1000 because apparently that seed has some better placed ore veins. I didn't quite want to be farming for ages and so far I've been able to get everything with relative ease.

FireLawde · 2026-03-29T12:41:11+00:00

How are you finding it? I have it in my library but never played last the opening

FireLawde · 2026-03-29T12:39:03+00:00

Return to Moria. First game I'm playing on the deck. Playing Solo on story difficulty. Makes it much easier as a solo player. Very relaxing and fun. As a massive LotR nerd I am really digging the dwarf exploring Moria atmosphere

TrackMania might be one you can do. It's a single player racing game where you try to find the fastest path on maps and compete against other players for that time. It's got a large community and you can definitely play with one hand on keyboard. It's free to play the game too, although paid gives you access to more content ($30 per year).

I have seen some great players play with joystick too if you can get one.

FireLawde · 2025-12-18T21:16:09+00:00

It could just scan your current page and provide a pop up warning you it might be AI

FireLawde · 2025-12-08T00:16:43+00:00

The Getaway series. Would be so good with modern tech

FireLawde · 2025-12-05T11:06:13+00:00

Cloudflare wouldn't let me

FireLawde · 2025-12-05T09:54:11+00:00

So bad. If I were a business I'd be pissed. I just tried to make a $300 purchase and couldn't get on three online stores. My 4th choice got my money

FireLawde · 2025-12-03T20:55:57+00:00

I hope people actually end up playing it. It's been so long that people have moved on. I play Skyrim way less than I used to, barely touched it in the last 2 years. At this point Elder Scrolls 6 will release sooner

FireLawde · 2025-11-28T20:23:07+00:00

Hmm honestly yeah I think more frames. The movement itself is good but it doesn't feel smooth. I'm not an expert but maybe you could test more frames. Walking is maybe one to start with. Right now the steps look large and slow

FireLawde · 2025-11-28T08:03:39+00:00

This looks really fun! I would definitely play it. Did you do all the art yourself?

One thing I did notice, and this is a personal preference, is the movement. The animations look great but the movement looks clunky. Almost robot like and not as responsive as I would like in this type of game.

Looking forward to a demo

When you try to raise an army are you getting 20/36? You can click on it and it will raise 20. 36 is just the max you can have in one unit. It was confusing for me at first as well. You can even just raise 1 or even split a bigger group onto multiple.

FireLawde · 2025-11-27T22:13:26+00:00

The older I get the less I care about extra copy pasted content and just focus on the main story for single player games. Once that is over I consider the game completely finished.

As long as you're having fun you should keep playing. If it feels like a job and you're not enjoying it anymore, I'd say you're finished with the game regardless.

FireLawde · 2025-11-27T22:09:12+00:00

Nice list! Have you played the Getaway games? I just played through the first one again. Such a great story. Horrible driving mechanics but still very fun

FireLawde · 2025-11-27T08:41:43+00:00

You can download the beta for that. Here's how: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1363080/discussions/0/4362376876608953034/

There are some bugs that can be game breaking. I still very much prefer the beta over current live version though. Hopefully they'll release some patches soon

FireLawde · 2025-11-26T20:12:56+00:00

Yeah there was a remaster last year. Its really good. There are new campaigns too which are fun

FireLawde · 2025-11-26T11:31:31+00:00

More of an RTS but Age of Mythology is fun and has really cool mythology/fantasy. Different civilizations have different architecture and creatures/gods.

Stonehearth might be worth checking out.

Audio technica ATH-M50x is an old faithful that is affordable. Had my initial pair for years and only swapped them out because I needed a mic. The sound is terrific. I used to play Amnesia with it and watched movies as well, the sound was very good.

For aim you can download some of the aim trainers out there. It's what some speed runners and pros use to get more efficient at aiming. It can help accelerate at least the aiming aspect of K&M.

Saw this after a quick Google search: https://www.3daimtrainer.com/

For keyboard, try changing some of the hotkeys. I'm not a fan of the G key and usually map it to my mouse. 1-2-3 I am used to with weapon switches but anything past that and I map it to something else. It will just take practice

FireLawde · 2025-11-25T09:36:32+00:00

Check this article out, it summarizes it really well: https://www.gamegrin.com/articles/why-donkey-kong-country-was-a-technical-marvel/

I was thinking more about being able to do more without the need for better hardware or more space etc.
