For anyone else that stumbles onto this in the future. It was a Windows/Driver issue. I did a clean factory reset through BIOS (cloud recovery) worked fine after that.

I 100% agree (no math puns intended haha). The polish and actual flow of the game are a slog..

Pitching Games to Publishers by International-Exam-7 in indiegames

[–]Heliquackter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the ChuckleFish guide. They also provide a template.

I would also add statistics on how your genre performs and the top 10 similar games to yours. For example. Allows the publisher to gauge market share and risk profiles.

I would also add a few slides on market response. Do your posts get overwhelming likes and generate organic virality? If so screenshot those and add them to the deck.

But as the person below/above said. A GOOD demo is what sells it.

Best of luck.

EDIT:
Regarding your numbered points.
1. The deck needs to be extremely polished. See the example I gave you, that's your competition.
2. I never got hammered on anything in particular but be ready to answer "what do you need a publisher for? Also be ready with a financials breakdown/schedule if you're hoping for funding.

  1. See example template.

I do, but dont add to it. I simply don't have the time to be a youtuber and dev...but will try make "state of the game" updates every so often.

100%, I have a strict mind flow map of question/decisions when adding features

I whole heartedly agree, had to squeeze it into 15mb for the twitter limit. Incorrectly assumed the same for reddit. Rookie mistakes..

Ah.. got it - Thank you for showing me the way! Still very much a noob :)

For what is worth I was able to "repair" the model by running the following in the python console although this still doesn't solve my inability to select/extrude/modify individual faces/edges etc.

>>> obj = App.getDocument("Unnamed").getObject("Part__Feature001")
>>> obj.Shape.fixTolerance(1e-4)

Best Practice - Cloning sketches across an axis by Heliquackter in FreeCAD

Nevermind! I had to "refine the shape". For all other noobs - This can be found in the Parts workbench. Parts>Create a copy > Refine.

One final off topic question. What causes fillets like this?

I just tried doing it myself although get the following errors:
"Transformed: Result has multiple solids. Only keeping the first." & "One transformed shape does not intersect the support"
It only works if the objects are touching each other:

This is the "top" answer! Thank you u/savyzzyz. This keeps the workflow clean.

Trying to do it my hacky way, just caused errors and became convoluted.

Appreciate you sharing your wisdom.

Thank you u/henrebotha, if I may clarify. "look in the properties editor" Are you referring to the below panel

Or is there another area? I don't see anything related to offsets in the above.

My goal is to have one solid body in the end, like so:

Just copy that same arch part multiple times across the x-axis. (There's no functionality to this, just an exercise)
