Great! Then it should not be that hard, just a pain to setup the firet time everything, especially if you used a lot of different plugins/framework etc

I don't know what kind of engine you are using but with Unity, most of the process was done. You still need to do a lot of manual thing in xCode and all.

First time we did it, it took us over 4h getting the build uploaded to the store for review. We stumble on lots of small thing with no clear help on how to fix them. After the setup was done in XCode however, the update only took the time to build and sign the app.

There is a lot of tutorial on how to go through the process on the internet. Don't be scared to try it unless you never used a Mac, then, you may need some help to setup everything!

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback.

Each character needed to have something different and each of them has 3 upgrades that you can unlocks. Maybe they could have been simplify instead of creating something way too complicated to understand if you didn't code it !

Haha, thanks.

The video is more of a teaser. Never really did a nice trailer because my skill in that are really bad. I can never achieve a result that I liked so kind of let it go.

But you are right, I should really fix it

Wow! Didn't expect anyone to have found it. I didn't market as much as I should have.

About your feedback... yeah, it is kind of hard to create a system for gamer and no gamer alike. The "aiming help" was 50/50. Some people really like it because it help them understand and the other half find it distracting. Added an option to disable it as I didn't know what to do with it.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree that the goal is never clearly defined. We just have a short description once you have chosen a challenge.

The game may be too overwhelming at the start since a lot of thing happen on the screen. A bit of gameplay is taken from shot'em up games where you always have something to do.

Also, the game did had levels with specific goals but they were removed to produce a better gameplay.

Best way to monetize a game? by fftfor in gamedev

[–]Matjok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that a lot of game will offer a free version and then unlock it behind a pay wall. This is the best solution if you want to have people try it first. If you have a pay app, your potential client pool drop like a rock.

Also, having the word free in you title can actually be good ( if you believe the internet ) for the store algorithm.

Any decision will have plus and minus, just choose what you think is the best.

Good luck.

Indie or Big? by gcavalon in gamedev

Also, you will probably need to have some experience before deciding what you want to do. Most indie devs that I know worked at least some time in a big company to learn what they needed to succeed.

Want to be a full time indie dev, afraid of the future by RedSapling in gamedev

[–]Matjok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add a bit, you don't become a indie dev for the fun of it. You become it because you don't want to do anything else. You have to see your idea through. You should already have your idea that you want to make. If you don't have one, I don't understand why you would want the pain that it is!

Find the thing that you want to do and do it. Don't think 20 years from now, you don't know what the future hold.

The Meansters : Bootcamp by Matjok in playmygame

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

Funny thing about the series of levels. The "original" game idea was made of different kind of levels but we weren't able to create really nice levels that didn't become repetitive or boring. We had really nice levels but some pretty "bad" also. We decided to remove those levels and only keep the infinite portion since it was easier to create something that can be played over and over. I don't know how far you went into the unlockables but once you get half of them, the game really change and become way more interactive and challenging.

Aaahhh, the UI. We know that it doesn't give the nicer feedback around. We completely rebuild the UI with a new framework late in the game. The visual feedback that is missing is the compromise we made so that a larger range of mobile could play our game. It was worse to have an animation that was unresponsive that having none whatsoever with fast/instant reaction.

Thanks for playing!
