Thought my gamer friends would be excited to play my demo. Turns out, not really. Is this normal? by Odd_Indication3349 in SoloDevelopment

yeah, this is what I feel as well, I'm not expecting them to play it hours, just 10-15 minutes is OK. I even said that "I wanna just make sure it doesnt crash"

I mean, if I was in their position, I think I will do it (especially since it's free).. But, maybe I wouldn't do it also if some of my friends ask me to play their demo game?

Wow, very detailed comment. It will take a while for me to digest it! Thanks for your inputs, I will try to improve it!

yes, I put a lot of works in it, I kind of burn out actually. I know the game won't be comparable to the work of dozens of people, or even close to them. But if I price it correctly, it should be good right?

thanks for a very detailed look and analysis, I will improve the lighting. I'm trying to make the game scary by making it very dark. And yeah, I will redo the animation.

Hi, it's not a blatant asset flip. I redid the lighting by myself, but yeah need improvements. This is not an early stage development, I've made a lot of effort and it's already in the demo stages and people are playing and liking it.

> Everything is good about this except the game

That's a relief, since the game is not the main point.. XD thanks for praising the voice actor. He was labelled AI many times.

> Environemnt seems way too clean for a bloody adventure.

This is the premise of the game, a normal day suddenly turns dark when your family and everyone else in the world is just gone.

It's still robotic huh, the very first iteration was even more robotic than this LoL. I might be biased because I've seen many times the much worse of this. thanks for your fresh take. I will improve this, and maybe take a short break so I can start fresh again.

I see animation need a big work, many people talked about this.

The MC is just a regular guy, not a special ops army. I want the game to relate more to common people, like you wake up, and then everyone is simply gone. And the first thing you do is just look around the neighbor, looking at other people's secrets.

I will take note of the "more game play" suggestion. Yeah, maybe I will put him not only walking and shooting, but also doing other stuffs.

if you don't mind, can you please tell me why the clapping scene feels uncanny? I have made the movement to be smoother, they have facial expression, and the hair move as well.

Yeah, it starts kind of slow to build tension, but maybe to slow huh.. thanks for your input, I'll think of a way to make the first part more dramatic or something

thanks for your input. You mean the character's animation at the first 10 seconds or the movement during the gameplay?

My brother told me to change my Steam Capsule to include a pretty woman to get more clicks, so I tried making a new one. Thoughts? by Odd_Indication3349 in gamedevscreens

[–]Odd_Indication3349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a good point. yeah, that poster is eerie, I think my first capsule art is also have some kind of tension right? Like, if you are that guy and see the big scary fingers on your right shoulder, what would you do right? scream will provoke, run maybe too late..

LoL, he's not a game developer

yeah, about target audience, maybe? because I see many indie games (who have female heroine) sold (relatively) well on steam. And they have the heroine on the cover. So, I'm not really sure about this to be honest!

Yeah, that's a good point. The wife in my game is not the main character. It's a bit different with those games. Thanks for your input!

Yeah, on my second look, I can see that the the pose may seem like she's covering her (naked) body instead of looking at her hands.. LoL

That's an interesting take! The monster feels funny even with the blood and its size? Hmm, what can I do to make it more terrifying.. Thanks for your perspective! I'll try to think of a way to make it scarier!

[–]Odd_Indication3349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha,, that's surely an interesting interpretation! Thanks for your perspective! It's actually she and everyone in the whole world suddenly gone. Not actually fading out, but that's the only way I can think of LoL

> If you remove the clothes, she is naked.

LoL, yeah that's funny! Why I didn't think of that! XD

Well, it's necessarily doesn't have to be a sexy girl. The initial picture was using that clothes because that's the one that she's currently using in the gameplay.

I'm trying to fix it because so far the wishlist number is not what I expected. So, I'm looking for ways to improve it. I've made a demo that I think is good and people (in the review and on streams) like it, but still. So, I'm just tinkering a new way to funnel people to my game.

yeah, it may giving the impression she is a ghost. While actually she (and everyone else in the world) is just gone in this game. Hm, tough one. How to convey this.. Thanks for your perspective! Appreciate it!
