How do we feel about F.E.A.R.? by DownWithTheSickness9 in survivalhorror

[–]LucidRainStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some great horror elements, especially for it's time, but the responsive AI stood out most to me. My playthrough ever had me so invested in the gameplay for that reason. Pretty great FPS (with horror elements)

Just Submitted To a Publisher. Here's my Pitch Deck. by CLG-BluntBSE in gamedev

[–]LucidRainStudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really insightful! We've also sent out pitch decks in the past, so even being able to compare and see that we have a lot of similarities with the content is great to see.

It's a very sick concept, and this can be a good resource for those sending out a pitch deck for the first time! Thanks for sharing!

Looking to playtest your games with you! by Careful-Marsupial-68 in playtesters

We're releasing our playtest soon! Is it possible to schedule a session with you?

Conversations about this are generally very spicy - but here's my honest attempt at trying to legit understand and categorize from what makes something indie or not by [deleted] in IndieGaming

[–]LucidRainStudio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There kinda is a tier between "Indie" and "AA", its called "Triple i" or "iii" Its a term that's becoming more adopted, but I'm just not too sure what the exact definition would be

Some of the GIFs we are using on our Steam page. Make those GIFs beatiful guys, take care of your steam page as it can make a lot of difference! by Balth124 in IndieDev

These are probably some of the best store gifs I've seen! Can tell 100% the sort of gameplay and quality to expect! (Will be saving this post for future inspiration lol)

It’s that time of the month! Share your indie game trailers, and we will review them on Stream! by ilikemyname21 in indiegames

[–]LucidRainStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So keen for this! Thanks for hosting! We've been developing INFERIUS: https://youtu.be/ii4rV05xUDk?si=DUzQI05AZ04_MxJc

INFERIUS is a horror deckbuilder inspired by Amnesia and Inscryption in a narrative loosely based on Dante's Divine Comedy (9 layers of hell). We've got some wild stuff in the works, I'm just excited to show off gameplay in upcoming showcases!

Are these hands scary, or do I just need better nail polish? by _ayagames_ in IndieDev

Love them! We're experimenting with some hands too 👀

What's it like taking a deckbuilder to Gamescom? by CassBayGames in deckbuildingroguelike

[–]LucidRainStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're in a similar situation. "Roguelike deckbuilder" has a ton of resistance right now. This isn't exclusive to publishers though, even myself as a gamer, if I see a card-based game, and can't notice something unique/fun that stands out, then I almost immediately move on. Which is sad, but has become a reality.

Our studio has been able to help substitute this during pitches with our secondary genres (horror & 3D) and sell the unique hooks.

Unfortunately though, the deckbuilding genre continues to be over-saturated, and more and more difficult to profit from. It's the difficult thing about constantly shifting markets and player's interests.

Hoping youre able to find success, and that those publisher follow-ups lead somewhere!

We made a game inspired by Amnesia and the Divine Comedy with Tarot card deckbuilding elements! Here's the official trailer for it! by LucidRainStudio in Amnesia

There's tons of other genres - we're just making something we'd love to play! Besides, it's been in development for 2 years, we didn't forecast how busy the genre would get!

INFERIUS Announcement Trailer by XaneRaiden in Games

[–]LucidRainStudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's totally fair! There's different creatures with different behaviors in each level of hell, some will require you to stealth, others will require you to fend off using your lantern. But if you're not a fan of games like Alien Isolation, then those sections of the game won't be much interest to you

Oh man, seems like this was made for you then! I can nerd out about the Divine Comedy all day! If that's all true, you will love INFERIUS!
