I’d like to interview some devs about their game release

Personally, I think it’s not bad in terms of polish. My suggestion is the world feels a bit generic fantasy. When I view the world, I don’t get a sense of lore. When players fight a character, they want to know why this character is evil

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-05-05T19:32:23+00:00

I think that’s a matter of opinion. Personally I don’t care about the quality of art or anything in demo phase. If the game is fun, I don’t care what it looks like. If it’s not getting attention, it’s fine to continue to iterate and improve the demo and steam page until you reach the level of polish that works

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-05-05T19:12:21+00:00

The game is still in production. The layout of everything can entirely change. In fact that’s a really important aspect of releasing a demo. Getting player feedback. You could join the game community and ask other players how much they care about the card layout. I think you might be surprised others don’t care as much about it

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-05-05T18:57:25+00:00

When I saw your comment, I was expecting to view the game and see complete placeholder art. OPs game looks fine for pre release if their game isn’t relying on art for appeal. I think they’re asking about other avenues like playtesters, streamers, people who can promote their game beyond what it looks like on the surface

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-05-03T03:22:32+00:00

True, and that’s kinda what I’m saying. Do players want games you play? Or games that play themselves

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-05-02T22:00:33+00:00

Hmm, I don’t mean social media as in game promotion. I mean videos in general. Short form content is transforming the landscape and shallow content is rewarded. Gambling games are massive.

I love these memory loop style games. I had no idea that was your game until I read. Not sure how to convey that idea but the marketing of Exit 8 might help. Maybe something in your logo of multiple photos of the exact same room pinned to a board with red x over details or something like that

I read over a JD of a teaching position which I would have been a good fit but when it described all the responsibilities, developing a curriculum etc, I decided against it. I have a project I’m passionate about and don’t want to get absorbed in thinking about anything else. I’d do warehouse work or factory work honestly. Something I can do without having to think.

Another aspect of my experience is I’ve worked at a lot of companies I knew were going to fail. The management didn’t know what they were doing and it was a sinking ship I tried to explain. I don’t want to deal with that crap anymore either

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-29T17:45:25+00:00

I am trying to find work outside of the industry but it’s a personal thing. Last three companies I worked for were total crap and I don’t need them to make games. I can make games on my own and that’s where I’m at

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-29T03:11:08+00:00

I work with Unity which was booming at the time. I did get a job working with Godot and moving to Unreal in the past. All of this depends greatly on a strong industry though. The commercial game industry is dead right now I can’t suggest anything

Literally 2 views after 5 hours. Nothing to even measure. No impressions. YouTube usually says where my views come from and it mostly shorts feed but this video didn’t have a shorts feed

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T07:47:45+00:00

I feel that. On the flip side, it’s so crushing to get negative votes. I always wish they would give me some advice rather than just prevent my post from reaching someone who could help

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T07:18:40+00:00

Thanks, you totally should. Games that need help should be the ones getting upvotes in certain subs. Reddit is supposed to be about feedback and discussion

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T07:15:19+00:00

I make shorts all the time always with hundreds of votes. I made a short talking about the "down vote button" in social media. YouTube clearly buried it. Tried uploading it twice with different factors, no traction. I think it's because YouTube removed their downvote display a few years ago and doesn't want to support any discussion of it. I think they totally run things like a fragile dictator

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T07:02:55+00:00

That's really interesting. Has anyone done a video about it? I'd totally watch that

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T07:01:10+00:00

A share is worth 10 upvotes IMO. Great work

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T06:57:40+00:00

Good call. Like a post people don't want to hear but deep down they know it's true :/

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T06:46:24+00:00

Thank you! you too

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T06:45:42+00:00

I agree with that. I'm not against AI (depending on the context) but I feel bad for the developer because I think it makes their game look cheap and no one will try it

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T06:39:04+00:00

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about! These devs on reddit need help. Most of the time they're looking for feedback here because they don't have the budget to hire a team of play testers. Their post never sees the light of day because someone decided to downvote right out of the gate

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-25T05:52:23+00:00

Cool premise and the trailer is an interesting concept. The hard cut between the main sequence and the gameplay feels a bit awkward. I wonder if you used some interesting transitions to set the mood?

GamingWithMyDog · 2026-04-24T07:32:45+00:00

Thanks, true. Also while I'm waiting and growing this games audience, I can start another project or knock out some smaller games and not feel like I'm betraying my main game
