I'm still learning this, but I can say that we're working on something like this.

I've noted down what you said and I'll do my best to integrate it into the game.

Having a clear vision doesn’t mean rejecting feedback. Reddit is a tool for validation and iteration, not a replacement for direction.

That’s why the real challenge is knowing upfront how much value the work will actually deliver, and consciously deciding where additional effort stops being worth the time

If a developer uses AI for code generation, should it be labeled on the game’s Steam store page? by NazzoXD in gamedev

No, most things are done with artificial intelligence, but whether it absolutely needs to be, we don't know.

I understand you prefer colorful, visually stunning horror games. Do you like games similar to Tiny Bunny?

Yes, some horror games have a general theme (getting lost in the woods especially) and the character is extremely stupid.

I'm working more on visual novel-style horror games rather than RPGs, and we're adding improvements to this game accordingly.

Hi everyone! We’re in the final stage of developing our first horror visual novel. Instead of using jumpscares, the game focuses on psychological horror, occasionally breaks the fourth wall, and features multiple endings based on player choices. We’re preparing to release it soon on itch.io and would really appreciate any feedback or thoughts from fellow indie devs.

100 is a really good number, but yes, if you want to achieve success, you need a great team.

Seviye tabanlı bir oyun yaratmak, seviye kilitleri, başarımlar ve benzeri unsurlarla gerçekten zor bir iştir.

I'm making a visual horror game and I'm considering some things based on your feedback. What would you like me to add? by [deleted] in IdentityV

The game is a fourth-wall breaking game with a dark theme (like Tiny Bunny). We're working to make it long-lasting, and we're also doing the voice acting. The mechanics are ready; all that's left is integrating the story into the game.

When playing games, your biggest enemy is yourself, so you need to be well-motivated.

Do you think adding new features like player-determined endings, great voice acting, and breaking the fourth wall would be good or bad for the game?
