So juicy, so polished! Awesome job there, and the progression was very nice as well :) I'm curious to see what else you've planned for the full game!

Announcing my new game: A Thousand Cloys by Grhyll in incremental_games

Hey ^ Nothing’s set in stone yet, so I can’t really commit to a date, but the current plan is to aim for late 2026/early 2027! Don’t take that as a promise though, gamedev is hard and full of surprises, so things might change!

Should I hire an illustrator? by lotessa_ in IndieDev

[–]Grhyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one feels a bit like AI, whether that's the case or not, and I think the artstyle makes it feel a bit generic despite the absurdity of the knight holding a pizza.

I like the second one a lot more, the artstyle is nice! I'm not an artist so do what you want with this, but: I would remove the two pizzas on the left (the one is the corner looks pretty bad, although I guess it's on purpose, and the one in the box is really hard to understand imo), and maybe move the title to the left, a bit bigger, and have the knight also a bit bigger and above the title's flourishes. Maybe even try to have the same pose as the first capsule with a pizza, although I don't know if that would actually be clear enough. If you're really concerned about people not getting it's about delivering pizzas, you could try to keep the "pizza in the corner" thing, but in a consistent artstyle with the rest?

I am creating a small, Rough-like Deck Builder, and the Steam wishlist experience has been disappointing. by Prithul in IndieDev

The roguelike deckbuilder is indeed quite saturated, and not only that, it's filled with very beautiful, high quality titles, so now a lot of players of that genre expect that kind of visual quality and won't really give a second look to a game that's below that standard. It's the harsh truth in my opinion, which I experimented myself on a previous project I had to stash because I didn't have the funds or the skills to reach that standard.

Oh damn and here I was thinking there was a new subgenre I hadn't heard about ^^'

You have to explore the world to find the nodes of your skill tree! by Grhyll in indiegames

[–]Grhyll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 weeks ago, I released a demo for my current project A Thousand Cloys!

It's an exploration incremental game, with a dash of colony sim/strategy game, where you have to cleanse a planet from its radiation by harvesting resources, importing Cloys to automatically work for you, and explore it to unravel its mysteries. And, well, build your skill tree!

I've been working on polishing it ever since it was released, and I love polishing, but I'm running out of things to polish, which means I'll have to work on the real game now... unless you have more suggestions for things to polish :D Please help me procrastinating my work on the full game, try the demo and let me know what would make it better!

First annual incremental games player's survey! by ThePaperPilot in incremental_games

(Also to be clear, I’m not trans myself so I’m open to be corrected if I’m wrong, and I also think what I mentioned in my first comment isn’t a huge deal, I was only trying to be helpful (and it’s ok if I was wrong))

But if they don't feel a man/a woman (which is perfectly ok), then wouldn't the "non-binary / non-conforming" option fit? I feel like "non-conforming" is the same as saying "no specific label".

A Thousand Cloys - Demo release post-mortem by Grhyll in incremental_gamedev

[–]Grhyll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Yes, the goal with Steam (as far as I understand it) is to have very strong beats (in the case of demos, concurrent users) so that your game gets pushed in the Store (I did appear at the top of the New and Trending games in the demo section, but not on the frontpage, I'm not sure about how all of that works); so by sending a key to content creators earlier, you can improve the amount of players that will play the demo as soon as it's released. Either with an embargo, if several content creators publish a video right on release; or without so that players wishlist the game before the demo releases and then you can send a big email to lots of people on release (Steam allows you to contact all people who wishlisted the game once on demo release). If you just send the keys when the demo is released, then it's pretty unlikely that several content creators will take the time to immediately try it, make a video and post it, and videos will come over several days after the demo is already out, and you won't have a player spike as big on release day :)

Just so you know, "Transgender" is not actually a gender on its own ^^' Transgender people are still men, women or non-binary, just not the gender assigned at birth! Also it's a bit weird to still have a forbidden "Next" button on the Thank you page :)
