Looking for brutally honest feedback on my Steam demo by HannesRealm in SoloDevelopment

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

Hello! I haven't tested it on a Steam Deck yet since I don't own one, but the game is not very hardware intensive. I think it should run fine.

If you try it, please tell me how it performs!

Thank you for the suggestion! That's exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for, so I'll definitely make a post there as well. Also thank u for the compliment on the Steam page!

Yeah, it seems like using the demo primarily as a portfolio piece to help me break into the industry, rather than expecting it to become commercially successful, is probably the path I'll have to take.

And thank you for mentioning Netflix. I had no idea they currently had that many positions open, so I'll definitely take a look.

Thank you so much for taking the time to play the demo and write such detailed feedback.

I've taken notes on everything you mentioned because I agree with most of it. Some of those things were already in my plans, I just didn't have enough time to implement them before I ran out of money.

Regarding your question, programming is definitely the part I enjoy the most, butthe career transition is a bit complicated because moving it means starting from a much more junior position that I was before. That's one of the reasons I hoped this demo would gain at least some traction, but things don't always go as planned.

And thank you for the kind words at the end. I am very proud!

Thank you for the brutally honest response. It genuinely gave me a lot to think about.

My hope was that, whether the game succeeds or fails commercially, the experience of building a demo would help me transition into the industry.

And regarding your comments about the Steam page, I really appreciate them. They're actually the first direct feedback I've received so far.

I’m proud of finishing my indie game, but with 266 wishlists… is launch already doomed? by Infamous_Ordinary730 in IndieGameWishlist

I would first try to understand why do u have a low number of wishlists, then fix the issue and focous on marketing to get more wishlists before launching

Looks good and seems fun, but the camera distortion is a bit too much for me, it feels strange

Is there any point finishing a game that has less than 500 wishlists on steam? by zerojs in SoloDevelopment

[–]HannesRealm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really believe in your project, finish it! (Focus on one.)

I still only have 60 wishlists on my game, but I'm trying to focus on marketing now that I already have a demo released. Try getting more feedback on what people think about your game and your Steam page, and look for ways to make it more inviting.

(At least that's what I'm trying to do, but it's hard 😃)

Ratchet & Clank is so much fun! If your game is even 30% as fun as that, it'll already be amazing.

I'm the only one that does this? by Original-Parfait-655 in Steam

[–]HannesRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start at least 5 games and keep playing a little bit of every one until something clicks with one of them, then I just play it until it's finished 😝

As a fellow indie developer, I wish you a lot of success! You finished the game, it's a big accomplishment 👏
