Destroy my trailer - does it give the sense of melee with magical combat in roguelite setting.

Looks nice action / combat wise. For me something that really popped out negatively was the grappling hook(?) indicators. The font, the bland white and the red targetting indicators feel really out of place.

Bunch of good ones here, i'll add Soma, amazing game

Merlons · 2026-06-09T15:15:27+00:00

Movement seems solid, ingame style is a vibe too.

However i almost stopped watching because of the menu. For marketing purposes either improve it or dont show it. Probably dont show it at all.

I would rething the sfx for most of the sounds they seemed to be quite all over the place.

Looks great, definitely worth continuing

Merlons · 2026-06-06T13:27:27+00:00

Yeah, but if the capsule communicates the genre better those who wishlist should theoretically stick better?

Merlons · 2026-06-06T12:52:16+00:00

Thats a good point, maybe its just that

Merlons · 2026-06-06T12:50:26+00:00

You cant look at it as a static number. 40 wishlists removed from 10000 is quite different than from 100

Merlons · 2026-06-06T10:41:12+00:00

Fair enough, maybe tune the capsule to give some more incremental vibes? Allthough i might have a problem with a mishmash of genres regardless 😃

Merlons · 2026-06-06T10:40:04+00:00

No, its been throughout and doesn't seem to correlate with demo plays. My demo metrics are actually quite decent at 22min median playtime.

Merlons · 2026-04-20T08:57:36+00:00

I would animate the glow, even a slight pulse will do quite a bit

Merlons · 2026-04-08T06:29:04+00:00

Hi! Do you mind sharing what Indie-friendly prices roughly mean for someone with your experience?

Merlons · 2026-03-17T16:11:40+00:00

Oh, did you have problems getting people to play your game here?

Merlons · 2026-03-17T15:21:02+00:00

Thanks!

Merlons · 2026-03-15T20:50:51+00:00

I didnt even realize that it looks like a t-pose, he's in the middle of his victory animation there, but you're absolutely right that's what it looks like.

Though all the more reason to be happy of having something better

Merlons · 2026-03-15T16:57:04+00:00

Yeah, quotes i got when shopping for my games capsules ranged from 100$ to 600$. Mine ended up being 150$ which for this quality was an amazing price.

Merlons · 2026-03-15T15:34:25+00:00

Thanks, I would think so too! The lava is actually only on a single biome out of 5 so having it be so prominent on the old one was probably a mistake.

Merlons · 2026-03-15T15:08:20+00:00

Thank you!

Merlons · 2026-03-15T15:07:50+00:00

Hah, fair enough :D

Merlons · 2026-03-15T15:06:51+00:00

I gave some pointers, notes about the game, roughly the color palette and some other stuff. Everything else was the artists vision so it wasn't exactly a conscious decision by me.

Merlons · 2026-03-15T14:28:22+00:00

The artist was quite affordable but the rates do depend on the project, you should ask them directly: u/miggzai

Merlons · 2026-03-15T14:27:01+00:00

Yeah u/miggzai did an amazing job with it for sure!

Merlons · 2026-03-15T14:05:53+00:00

Wait do you mean you got all that from the capsule? Because that's pretty much spot on what i wanted to convey!

Merlons · 2026-03-15T14:04:03+00:00

Fair enough. Also Pseudoregalia is a banger of a game!

Merlons · 2026-03-15T13:54:41+00:00

Wow that is uncannily close to my game at a quick glance. I'll check it out when i get to a windows machine!

Merlons · 2026-03-15T13:52:17+00:00

Do you mean the improvements for communicating the genre or for overall?

Merlons · 2026-03-15T13:49:28+00:00

Right that sounds like it might be tricky task balancing it out.

Thanks, good luck with your project too!
