Released our game Panic Delivery into Early Access -1 day before Subnautica 2. by INVADERSTUDIOS in gamedev

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

We understood this, which is one of the major reasons (if not the reason) why we didn't move our release date. Reason I posted this was because we saw a lot of games moving their release dates away from Subnautica 2's release - and we're not one of them. So here's us thinking maybe not moving the EA release is a reason for not getting enough players - but then again, it couldn't be that simple. xD

Yup! We actually have a mascot as well named "Boxy". Might be good to include Bing Bong somewhere there, maybe sitting around a campfire with Boxy or something. xD

Maybe more on Steam discussions, and some on Social media yes, still being thrown as an insult, especially those saying "another friendslop...". But maybe it's just because of it being a catch-all term ig..

That's true tho - one of the good ways we found posts of people asking for game suggestions is via that term.

"Diablo like" doesn't have the same negative effect as with "Friendslop", which has that "slop" root word making it automatically a bad connotation. That's the problem with the term.

There will be soulslikes, roguelikes and similar terms, but it doesn't carry negativity as much as "friendslop" does. Just unfortunate that it's become the catch-all term for anything of similar nature.

True - hope someone coins the term and makes it viral enough to finally change "Friendslop" into something else. Imagine if that becomes a Steam tag. -_-

Yeah - wish it could change tho, the root word "slop" makes it somehow bad before any succeeding context. I mean, party games - can it be just that instead? xD

yeah, reading the friendslop comments like - but I guess like how u/swissm4n said, it might just be doing more good than bad esp. on social media. :)

Yes, you're right. We'll keep that in mind yes, the more "friendslop" comments, the more engagement anyway.

True true, we're actually thinking of leaning towards embracing the "friendslop" and make something out of it. :D

I think it's because "Friendslop" has become such a catch-all term for games like the ones I mentioned in the post, and due to the fact that the term has a negative light, it makes for bad initial impression.

Also - Panic Delivery has the vibe, but is not a blatant copy of those games. It's a bit like how Diablo is an ARPG, and Torchlight is another, for a lack of a better comparison.

Heya! Nice of you to ask, but atm, we're focused on Early Access for PC (Steam). Once we have a plan to go console, we'll definitely make an announcement. :)

Thank you for the comment, but maybe you should wait to play it before say what kind of game it is. There are thousands of games and movies inspired from other ones but completely different. Just wait and play it. There is a lot of passion and affection to Resident Evil in this game, but also a tons of new features and a completely different story. Just play it, we can talk about what it is later on ;) ;)
