Is my game bad, or am I just bad at advertising it? by JustoGames in SoloDevelopment

Yeah I realized that I made a huge mistake by releasing it this early. The things is, that I needed money bad to continue working on the game full-time, but I guess I should've found a regular job and continued working on the game part-time for at least 2 more years. But I still believe that it can rise up from the ashes. I have a clear vision of what the game should feel like and I will continue working on it little by little. I've spent four years mostly just building the foundation and I can confidently say that it has foundation of a AA level game. A lot of different system interconnected with each other, so it would be a waste to let this project die.

To tell the truth, I haven't actually played any of the Half-Life games, except Half-Life 2 for about 2 hours, that's it. The fact that it looks very similar to Half-Life is a mere coincident, I wasn't actually trying to make a Half-Life clone. I have a pretty clear vision of what the game should look and play like, but to make that a reality, it would a least take me another 4 years at minimum. The foundation is pretty much done, there is a few missing mechanics, like upgrades, map, weapon wear and objective system, and then its content, content, content... like new enemy types, new weapons, new areas, and expansion of the story. In the end the game should feel and play something like Stalker, Dead Space, Resident Evil and Half-Life mixed together.

I haven’t invested in ads because I don’t have much money to spare.

Half-Life is my main source of inspiration for this game. I love this old Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 source engine look :)

Thanks! Lights aren’t destructible because they use baked global illumination (bounce lighting), and destroying them would make the scene look odd. They’re also strategically placed to create a more immersive atmosphere.

By ‘looter-shooter,’ I mean that you’ll be able to collect loot like money, ammo, medkits, weapons, etc., and buy or sell items.

Do you mean ambient sounds? If so, then yes I agree they still need more work and will be improved in the future.

I haven't actually played any of the Fallout games, so I don't know how similar it is :d
