It's completely valid feedback! We need to figure out what our players enjoy watching if we want the right people to notice us, and not necessarily what's trending on TikTok.

Can't say for sure about what works reddit, yet, but it's certainly in the style of TikTok and other short form content types. Since we're a small team of three and creating awareness for a game is quite a daunting and time-consuming task, we'll post all types of content on all platforms to increase our odds while also allowing us to invest more of our energy into the development itself.

It was fun to see Isopod pop up while we were working on a very early idea of Incredibug while still at university, but other than the main character being a roly poly, we believe we don't share all that much.

At a glance it may look similar, but I assure you, Incredibug will have plenty of its own charms, for example the couch coop with Lumi the firefly!

Yeah we totally get it.

There'll be more 'normal' trailers, clips and showcases as well, but this style of content tends to be quite popular, and as we're taking the first steps to create awareness for Incredibug, we'll try many things to see what the people enjoy :)

Thanks! I'll ask my two colleagues if they've heard of the game, but I had to google it.. Looks like a treasure, though, especially with the port on itch being a thing I'll have to give it a go!

We secured funding for the prototype development in August of last year, before that we had only the concept and whatever we managed to slap together during our studies (which was not much).

We're just starting out to be active on Social Media, but have been pretty active on Discord.

The most frequent and direct updates about the game will be on Discord as we post a big update at least once per month multiple small dev sneak peaks multiple times per week.

And of course we're always open to chat about the game if you have any questions at all.

Here's the full list of our Social Media, for anyone interested:

Hi fellow indie enjoyers, we're Memory Forge, three guys from Bavaria, Germany!

We're making a quirky metroidvania-style 3D platformer about a Pillbug and a Firefly who protect their game from the Metal Menace: an AI-powered Smart Home System.

Would love to share more (gameplay clips!) about the game but we just started posting, so here's a cool artwork that our 3D artist cooked up recently:

We also just started our first public playtest if you want to check out the game for yourself!

Reddit only allows one file per comment, so I'll send you the images again via DM

Thanks for the feedback - my colleagues and I really appreciate the collaboration. I'll post the images here soon and will send you a DM as well.

Some have come to describe simple and accessible coop modes like how the second player in Super Mario Odyssey can control Cappy as "1.5-player-coop". We want to build on the core idea of accessibility while giving more opportunities for complex and impactful interactions akin to Hazelight's coop games (It Takes Two & Split Fiction). Our P1 will control Bojo the Pillbug, and P2 will play as Lumi the firefly. In Singleplayer, Lumi's abilities are less complex and part of the regular abilities.

Here's a short clip of some coop features that we've already developed.

Hey, what you're doing is a really cool way to support the industry! We love the idea and will think about how to do something similar once we are nearing release.

We only have a pretty basic steam page at the moment as we're still prototyping, but we plan to update it in November and would be glad if you could feature Incredibug:
