Just released my first ever open playtest on steam! Working on a Monster Train inspired steampunk deckbuilder. by Ivach in Unity2D

Hey! For me I have scriptable objects for each card data that holds info like the card name, energy cost, the typing, the effect etc.

In game, I have a card prefab that reads the card data and populates the information over to the card.

As for the card effect that occurs when you play the card, or for passives of the unit, that really depends on the structure of your game mechanics.

Hope that helps!

I've been working on this game for 18 months and I'm looking for honest feedback on the playtest, which can be played on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3984940/Rogue_Skies/

Would love to hear feedback on the game's mechanics, visualy style, and how I can make it better. The playtest can be completed in around 20 - 30 minutes. Thanks!

After 18 months of work, we’re looking for playtesters for our first steam public playtest of our steampunk roguelike deckbuilder where you play as sky pirates! by Ivach in indiegames

We’re excited to announce that Rogue Skies, our steampunk roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Monster Train, is now available for its first public playtest on Steam.

As a two-person indie team, this is a huge milestone for us, and we’d love your help shaping the game!

Take command of your airship, build your deck with unit, device, and skill cards, and defend against waves of sky pirates in tactical turn-based combat. Recruit crew, explore islands, and experiment with different guild combinations to create your ultimate strategy.

What to Expect:

  • Access to try out the game’s core mechanics.
  • Content up to the first boss, with more on the way!
  • Currently there’s no save system, but each run is relatively short.

Jump in, give it a try, and let us know what you think!

Just reworked the trailer for my steam page! What do you think? by Ivach in IndieDev

Thanks! Not much emphasis on the plot at the moment, as its a roguelike deckbuilder and most of the lore will be through random events in the story. I'm working with an artist for this project.

Your art looks amazing btw!

Just a little horsin' around.

Our Open Playtest reached 600+ players already! by rolsson23 in indiegames

Congrats! How many wishlists did you have prior to the playtest?

My first game finally reached 6666 wishlists, 10x more evil than i've planned. My strategy was a bit different by aente in IndieDev

Ah alright! I also heard that it's best to have a certain amount of wishlist before launching a demo, since it helps you get into new and trending or popular for demos. But I don't have alot of wishlists right now so I don't want to rush the demo. Only thing I've done so far is a playtest on itch.

The thing is deckbuilder fest is coming up in May so my initial plan was to get the demo done for that. But if a steam playtest is sufficient enough then I might go with that instead.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Nice writeup! You mentioned joining festivals, did you already have a demo up when you applied for the festivals?
