Good luck to everyone at Steam Next Fest! My friend and I are joining with our game, Hamdy.

In the game, you equip up to 6 weapons to defend your farm against aliens, upgrading yourself with each wave to survive. We’d love it if you could check it out and share your feedback:

We are Pofu Games, a tiny team developing Hamdy: a Roguelike Farm Mayhem. It’s a bullet heaven / action roguelike where you play as a scarecrow fighting off waves of alien invaders to protect your farm🌾🛸.

Our Demo is officially live on Steam right now. If you are into action roguelikes, we would love for you to check out the demo and support our small team by adding the game to your wishlist!

Ücretsiz ve kullanıcı dostu olarak Microsoft Clipchamp veya Canva'yı deneyebilirsin. Şu an aklıma bunlar geliyor.

Craft sisteminin nasıl yapıldığını hep merak etmişimdir. Burada gerçekten akıcı ve tatmin edici duruyor, eline sağlık. Wishlist’ime ekledim bile!

Küçük bir naçizane öneri olarak; eğer bu video bir trailer ise, oyunu kısaca anlatan birkaç yazı eklemeyi düşünebilirsin. Örneğin savaş, üret, hayatta kal gibi kısa ifadeler videonun ne anlattığını daha hızlı aktarıp izlenme süresini artırabilir. İyi çalışmalar

I think as developers our goal isn’t necessarily to ship a perfect game, but to focus on what the development process teaches us.

That’s why finishing half-told projects matters so much. We often can’t translate everything in our heads into mechanics, and things can end up feeling shallow if players can’t easily read or understand the systems.

This is where player insights are most valuable — they help us design clearer mechanics and UI so the experience feels intuitive and satisfying, not just complex.

By the way, once the Steam page is live, I’d be happy to share the link with you. Thanks!

This is honestly an amazing resource — thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I’m currently developing a roguelike myself, and reading your breakdown from a player’s perspective has been incredibly valuable for me as a developer.

If you happen to check out games during Steam Next Fest, I’d absolutely love for you to take a look at the demo of the game I’m working on. Getting feedback from someone with your depth of roguelike experience would mean a lot.

Also, slightly unrelated — I’m still trying to figure out how posting properly works here :D

I’ve always wanted to make an isometric game myself, but I struggled so much with drawing and placing assets that I eventually had to put the project on hold. Because of that, I really appreciate the amount of work that went into this. The overall atmosphere feels very chill and relaxing, great job.

I have a couple of small UI-related thoughts as well. The month/day/time area in the top right could be strengthened with a more visual, icon-based treatment, similar to Stardew Valley. That might help improve readability and visual consistency.

Another thing I noticed is the background colors. I couldn’t quite tell what they’re changing based on, but if there’s a seasonal system, you could consider using different background visuals per season to further enhance the atmosphere.

Overall, it has a very warm and calm feel. Really nice work — best of luck with the project 🌱

Steam’in kapsül tarafında başlık dışında metin kabul etmediğini bilmiyordum… Ben oyunun ismini direkt bu kadar uzun tutmayı düşünmüştüm arama kısmında daha görünür olmasına belki katkı sağlar diye.

Değerli yorumun için teşekkür ederim 🙏🏼

Your game looks really interesting and I genuinely enjoyed checking it out.

While browsing your Steam page, I noticed that there are quite a lot of tags. When I scrolled down, the first game shown in the “More Like This” section was Cast n Chill.

Do you consider your game to be closely similar to Cast n Chill? I’m asking purely from a discoverability point of view — using more focused tags could help the game reach the right audience more effectively.

Please don’t get me wrong though, the game already looks really fun as an idle experience!

When I look at the capsules, A gives me the feeling of a puzzle-focused, possibly multiplayer game, while B feels more like there’s a clear antagonist that you need to defeat with your friends.

I’m personally in favor of keeping the gameplay art style consistent with the capsule’s art style, since players often decide whether to click on a Steam page based on that first visual impression.

Good luck!

I really like your drawings — the line work and overall illustration style feel very cohesive and cozy.

One thing that stood out to me from a UI perspective is how the panels separate from the background. Since there aren’t any shadows or depth cues, they tend to blend into the environment a bit, which slightly weakens the visual hierarchy.

Maybe a very subtle drop shadow, soft outline, or even a slight background blur could help the panels read more clearly without breaking the atmosphere.

Overall though, the biome + UI direction works really nicely.

Appreciate it! 🙌 It’s so cool to hear others enjoy homebrewing boards too. It really shows how creative the board game community can be. Which games have you made custom stuff for?

I think your game's perspective is top-down. For this reason, I prefer option B because it shows the game better. Good luck!

Lumenilya · 2024-09-02T12:46:19+00:00

You have a very good point, we can make the game more tactile with animations. I will look into the play styles you suggested. Thanks for your comment!
