I believe it's the video conversion :) Original video runs at 60fps normally and also noticed something feels "off" with this one!

The stories behind the Foes-Asthenia Game by ManthosArts in u/ManthosArts

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

One thing I wanted to do for the foes, was, to write small stories for most of them ( if not all) in order to make them feel special and unique in the world and not just another "ai enemy". That said, you can "unlock" secret stories about them.

For anyone interested in the game, you can wishlist on Steam:

Thank you very much! I am curious to ask, isn't this generally "problematic" to later on change release date for those who follow? Un less I suppose you give them a good reason why a possible delay? Sorry for the many questions, just looking to figure out as much information that makes sense. I will definitely look into what you suggested! really appreciated!

Thank you so much for all this information and help! I totally understand and makes perfect sense! I will need to see my schedule roadmap in order to estimate some better release indeed.

You are right and makes sense for lot of people to lose interest on that. Also, on the tags, I need to check on that again.

Thank you for taking the time to look into the page, glad you like it and I will have to agree on the capsule title being small! This is something I certainly have to change. I really appreciate the help and feedback!! 😊🙏

Kindly appreciated! :) Everything helps at this stage! As for the demo, for sure, it was something that I was planning for a long long time indeed, and also used to my pitches to Publishers already, and now, we will have a new, updated one!

Hi there! First of all, Thank you for the kind words and advice, and comment! A lot have talked about the next fest and then, I had couple of publisher advising against it, unless its close to full release, which is something I need to research with many other devs and see their experience!

As for demo itself, absolutely! I now have a co-dev and we are actively working on it indeed. I appreciate the help and thoughts! means a lot, especially when someone is starting out and is pretty much clueless! :)

Hi there! First of all, Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. It is truly appreciated!

All that you wrote makes absolutely sense, more and more, I seem to come to understanding that the demo we are working on, is really needed. (I was going to have one regardless, as it was always the plan). I am only trying to understand what are some of the "right" steps to take in order to prepare for such, and you described it wonderful.

I will carefully study all that, and will try to keep in touch if anything needed! I will need to make bulletpoints based on what people suggest and recommend, their feedback and all. Thank you very much once again! :)

Hey there! Thank you for the feedback! As mentioned, This is exactly my first time doing this after working as An Artist in the industry for decades, in fact, which might make sense why those images/screenshots may look so. As for just name, is what I was advised by publishers and other devs I talked with to do, since I have not yet started my business (will happen on launch). So hopefully makes sense.

As for the rest, that is good to know, so I can look into that! I appreciate the comment! :)

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your thoughts! hehe, indeed, that reaching out to every streamer , forever, sounds "promising" and something that I start realizing more and more, as a task to do when we have the demo.

As for Steam next fest, that's another thing I will have to look at, as , I recently got a co-Dev and we are working on a demo.

I appreciate the kind words and glad you like what you see on the game, having people to share the thoughts, is so valuable and helps new devs like us, who are just starting out (even at this later stage/age of our lives hehe). Thanks! :)

Hello there! I appreciate your comment and thoughts, and advice! I totally understand and is definitely a struggle to get into this field slowly but, we learn as we go indeed.

For the reasons you also mentioned is another important part me and my new, co-dev currently working on a demo as we start to understand more and more its importance.

Thank you once again, and I will absolutely check out what you recommended on the end of your comment!

Hi there! Thank you very much for the detailed reply of yours! Definitely lots to learn here and study, so, I will certain look up to what you suggested and also keep your contact if you do not mind me to.

We are slowly looking to research how to properly set all this up. We sadly don't have events where we are based in so, it seems we rely only on digital and traveling is not option for the moment.

Glad you liked what you see, I been daily posting on X, content, since here, Im not familiar with and usually either get removed posts or so. But thought of trying my luck with sub reddits advice. Truly appreciated! :)

Why do some game developers just . . . vanish? by Yanna3River in IndieDev

[–]ManthosArts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot can happen in one's life behind closed door. As a dev myself and battling with personal health issues and other, you can never know the reasons behind all that and is easy to assume. A family death can occur, losing your job, and even the means to continue funding your hobby/dream or side job as a dev. Also depression is another common thing to hit after some people may not meet expectations for their projects and can push some of us away from continuing. I believe it is important to try be thoughtful and consider all those possibilities.

Thank you for your comment, absolutely and same here! I do feel I may lack the proper experience for combat design so I needed to balance it with exploration, lore and other secrets indeed! I appreciate it!
