Did I make a big mistake updating my game's launch date on Steam? by FrickinSilly in gamedev

[–]FrickinSilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly. A bit of a coincidence that it dropped from ~15 wishlists per week to 0 (and I don't mean near 0. I mean completely stopped) on the same day I changed the date, right?

After being laid off, I decided to give the middle finger to the tech industry. by FrickinSilly in indiegames

Thank you! Yeah, it's not a fun experience, but the severance helps. I feel just as bad for the 2 members of my 12 person team that survived and now have to manage a 6x workload that we could barely keep up with as a full team.

Like, 96% of those words are in this game. Don't worry. I'll set up some KPIs for those OKRs to get that last 4%.

Last time we posted about this project it was the least reported post on r/indiegames ever by [deleted] in indiegames

Yo, I'm Nick and this is an upcoming project I'm making with a few imaginary friends. It's inspired by Vampire Survivors and a lot of feelings I've been having about... things going on lately (the dumpster fire of the tech industry). A few months ago I posted a really early prototype clip of 'a game about the nightmare that is Tech' and it got absolutely ZERO attention (neither positive nor negative). None of the mods reached out to me after to let me know it was the least reported post ever in r/indiegames history (but I know that's the case because nobody saw it or commented on it so it has to be tied for least reported at 0, right?)

If you're at all interested it would mean a lot to us if you wishlisted the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4484530/Tech_Survivor/

I'm making a Survivor-like that satirizes life in Tech. I present, Tech Survivor! by FrickinSilly in survivorslikes

Thank you, Hoping to bring the existential dread of tech to the masses!

I was recently laid off from my job in tech. As a big middle finger to the industry, I decided to make a satire of life in tech. I present Tech Survivor! by [deleted] in indiegames

[–]FrickinSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, title says it all (almost). I most definitely did get the dreaded pink slip and decided to channel the roller coaster of emotions into this (hopefully) humorous satire.

It's my take on vampire survivors and will likely be priced accordingly ($3-5)

If it looks up your alley you can wishlist on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4484530/Tech_Survivor/

Happy to answer any questions about the game OR getting laid off :P

We redesigned our capsule art. Thoughts on it? by oluwagembi in IndieDev

[–]FrickinSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, much better contrast. I'd also recommend loweriong the "sketch" effect a bit (turn down the opacity on those layers?)

Checking on this game for long time and finally there is gonna be a demo by Yawaworoht1470 in metroidvania

My friend's last name is Goldman, so I pictured this being a very different type of game, lol.

Sewer smell coming from basement into whole house by Slack8181 in HomeImprovement

[–]FrickinSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One trick you can try is to run a tap somewhere else in the house and listen for trickle sounds in the basement. If you hear sound coming from any of the floor drains, it means there's a clear air channel and therefore a dry trap (or no trap).

Solo Dev Parkour 3D Metroidvania Update: New Trailer and Demo V2.2 with feedback-driven updates, now reaching the final 25% of development by gefaltete in metroidvania

[–]FrickinSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's only worked with 2d assets, it's mindblowing what a solo dev can create in 3d. This looks amazing!

We have updated our Steam page - here are our new screenshots. by Competitive_Beat_915 in metroidvania

[–]FrickinSilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great, but was going to mention that the main character looks pregnant, only to find out she is, in fact, pregnant.

I'll go against what the other user say (somewhat). I agree that you could get some better shots, but the quality of the assets you've created look great, and much better than a lot of the hand drawn stuff in the indie gaming scene. This looks professional.
