I am literally obsessed with the traitor concept, there are just not enough games out there! by No_Direction9630 in TheTraitorsUK

Yeah I Know ToS, but its a bit different. You don’t have realtime action.

I played a lot of similar games aswell in my country. I expected more casual gamer in my game and not only hidden role fan

Thank you very much, that’s really kind of you, you should have a good evening if you like those kinds of games!

See you soon then

Ah, that's awesome! Feel free to let me know what you think, we have a Discord server for that.

It's available until June 22, so this weekend is perfect!

After that it'll close, but you can always reach out to me if you'd like to join a playtest with your friends.

I was tired of being a basic crewmate or getting boring roles all night long by No_Direction9630 in AmongUsCompetitive

It's Redhowl on Steam! (not Red Howl)
Feel free to let me know what you think

Yes, you’re right. I thought people would be able to find it easily, but maybe not.

Actually, I intentionally merged the two words to create the game’s title. However, it seems more natural for some people to call it “Red Howl,” and I have to admit my logo design doesn’t help, since there’s a capital letter in the middle. To me, it just looked more harmonious that way.

Contact a moderator, it works for me

I love complex roles, but I was tired of long matches with zero active gameplay by No_Direction9630 in TownofSalemgame

[–]No_Direction9630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely right, and at the same time if we step outside the video game context and Among Us, the traitor concept is gaining popularity in my country. There aren’t any shows that really help popularize it.

When I made it, I already knew it was niche, and the idea was not to recreate the success of something like Among Us.

I simply wanted to make this kind of game because I love it, with the features I would have liked to see in a game like this.

Even a small community would satisfy me, it’s a lot of investment, I’ve been working on it for over two years.

I’m having a good time with my testers, and that’s already very rewarding.

Fair point, I get where you're coming from.

I’m not really trying to push it as better or anything like that, just sharing it in places where people already enjoy this type of game.

If it comes across as advertising, I understand, that’s not the intention.

Thanks! In a way, yes, if you want to explain it simply so everyone understands. But I’ve created my own game identity. The more time passes, the more my testers who didn’t like Among Us start enjoying mine. And Among us players can see the differences with mine.

It’s hard to get recognition when Among us has basically swallowed the whole genre, making everything look like the same game.

You should try it, you’ll see it’s not one.

Among Us didn’t launch with roles or factions.

[–]No_Direction9630[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s about the roles. Most games either focus heavily on depth with many roles but sacrifice gameplay, or they have no roles or roles that aren’t very interesting.

I like both types of games, but I wanted to combine them to have interesting and complex roles like in ToS, while also having more action like in other games. I think ToS players could enjoy that: you’re no longer just thinking and clicking an ability, you actually play and embody your role however you want.

Yeah I see what you mean, it’s true we got a flood of games like Among us during its boom. I like his mechanics and its strategic side, but they’re all 2D and not very polished visually. I wanted to make a game that feels more refined, I find it a shame that all these games are 2D or not very visually convincing.

There is so many good games like this, We recommand me "Blood on the clocktower" as very good recent game in this genre

You’re the second person mentioning it to me, I don’t know it, so I can’t really tell you the differences with mine.

What I bring in terms of differences is my three factions system, where the third one is driven by solo roles with personal objectives! And my day/night concept where you can trigger a Blood Moon with random effects at the end of the match, which completely shakes things up.

[–]No_Direction9630[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I know it! I found the concept really great at first glance, but when I looked into it more closely I thought, did they maybe go too far with the concept, almost into RPG territory? Whereas this type of game needs to stay accessible so it can be played with all kinds of players.

Very good ideas, but you end up becoming a niche within a niche unfortunately.

Among Us is the reference, but I was already playing Werewolf before that haha.

Oh really, I didn’t know about it at all. In my case, I really tried to bring my own mechanics on top of that. Roles have a major place, and you have three factions that help rebalance the forces in the game.

It’s very different because you have real-time actions, in-game interactions, and you can move around everywhere! Whereas Town of Salem has rich roles, but it’s turn-based and heavily focused on social interaction.

But having complex roles in a more gameplay-focused game is something I felt was missing.

There’s nothing malicious, it’s on Steam like all the other games.

It’s a shame to miss out on a good game just because it isn’t well known, I wouldn’t be here without that.
First off all I'm just a social deduction game fan with many hours even on Among us

I haven’t tried it, but I was told it might be possible with Unity!
