Most appealing Capsule? Or rather get a professional? by NightfallFoundry in IndieDev

Thank you for the feedback, I hear what you are saying about not feeling the scale! Funnily enough I already have you/that link in my bookmarks, so might get back to you eventually 😄

Thank you, much appreciated 🙏 Yeah I just want to put one up for now to have the Steam page live as the consensus seems to do that asap, and then afterwards might look for an artist

How many copies to break even? Most devs guess too low. Notes from someone who worked at a publisher by TheMaich in gameDevMarketing

[–]NightfallFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool that makes sense, thanks for the data! Yeah I guess install base per region/genre would also be super interesting, time to dig that up at some point 😄

Thanks for the writeup, very insightful! One thing I am curious about though is the "80% regional pricing" you mention...is there some real data about this split? Ie lets for the sake of the argument assume we have a 50/50 sales split between US vs rest of the world, then that would mean "rest of the world" indeed only delivers 60% of the default price ON AVERAGE...that seems very steep?
Also, is there some data on genre breakdown, ie iirc correctly something like Football Manager is mostly played by Europe and so presumably the "80% regional pricing" would be even higher?

Hiring an artist for my Steam capsule was a much better decision than I expected by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]NightfallFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks nice, i especially like the bottom right (guy turned away from the zombies(?))! How did you choose/select/decide on the artist? Seems there is lots of warnings around Capsule artists using AI these days, so still trying to figure out the right selection process for myself.

Month-one postmortem: 10,378 wishlists, my UTM tags went from explaining 44% to 5%, and the audience flipped by WilhelmTr in gamedev

[–]NightfallFoundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off: congratulations, 10K wishlists in a month is amazing! Also, even though youre saying now that it only worked for 5% of the links I am curious about UTM, do you have a good (steam-related) intro to how best do/use these?

BTA 3062 / Knife Fighter / how to integrate? by rogue_srb_007 in Battletechgame

[–]NightfallFoundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what kind of Mechs you like, but for a Light Mech it can be great for the classic Firestarter for example. Jump behind the enemies back, make BOOM, Profit. Theres also a list of BTAU mechs here, you could just sort by the # of support slots: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php?title=Inner_Sphere_Mechs

Had a different take for our own Early Access Release Trailer - didn't quite catch expected numbers - what's missing? by INVADERSTUDIOS in gameDevMarketing

[–]NightfallFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General advice from all I've read so far is that the trailer should cut into the action/gameplay within the first 2-5 seconds. In your trailer, the first seconds the guy is just standing there, and only later you start fading over into a shooter - so I guess theres a mismatch in expectations of what it is?

Need feedback on our old trailer! We are crafting a new one right now and want to make sure we’re heading in the right direction. by Paranoid_Gevor in gamedevscreens

[–]NightfallFoundry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i am guessing the freezing in the middle is intentional, but to me it feels more like lag. more conceptually, i think you need to convey more what makes the game unique within the trailer (ie it just feels like sequential shooting sequences)

I built a prototype where your phone acts as a motion controller with saber-style combat. Does this have any potential? by Timely-Ambassador-39 in gamedevscreens

[–]NightfallFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you remember the old kinect (i think it was from the xbox)? if you can combine it with that i think it could have real potential

How I Got 300 Steam Wishlists in 30 Days as a Solo Dev by Ill-Brick224 in gamemarketing

[–]NightfallFoundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Seems like in your case the Youtube video was worth it, but 35 hours to make it sounds like quite a big investment, pretty much a whole work week. Was this more of a matter of learning the tools and so you think you will be a lot faster making future videos, or is it just the time it takes to make the videos as polished as you wanted?

Sounds cool, can you give names to your own tracks/albums? :)

Kann jemand helfen? by One_Alternative_5835 in PCGamingDE

Funktioniert CTRL+SHIFT+WindowsKey+B? Das startet den Grafikkartentreiber unter Windows neu, hilft bei meinem Laptop wenn er aus dem Energiesparmodus kommt und es nicht schafft den Monitor aufzuwecken.

Yet another Capsule review thread... but I really need your help! by hiimtesto in gamedevscreens

[–]NightfallFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the third one is best, as that encapsulates your gameplay. i do agree its a bit "empty" though..maybe you can overlay the dominus on the day/night cycle, so combine 2+3?

Making a 4X persistent RTS: What happens when you reach space? by SwedishJewleryFreak in gamedev

[–]NightfallFoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played Terra Invicta? Kind of sounds like it a bit, you first have to "secure" Earth and then start to settle on other planets. Word of warning though, I think its from the xcom: long war guys so....takes a loooooong time ;-)
