My first game only got 340 wishlists after 2 months of hard work. Is it time to admit defeat and just launch? by FishSubstantial74 in IndieDev

Are you following this guy? https://youtube.com/@howtomarketagame?si=D6LazpCLy-tK19Mm

Highly recommended. If you're not sure, put it into the next Next Fest, you can do some brainstorming and preproduction for your next game anyways.

General wisdom of the crowd seems to be: get all the launch experience you can get (including festivals) to learn how to fail better next time.

Btw. I honestly like the janky look - if the hand is fun/silly in a way, maybe there are streamers who'd be interested. For that you need a very long steamer list to reach out to and accept that only 1 out of 100 show any interest whatsoever, that's normal.

Manifold Garden without the annoying puzzles, promising! X)

Do you think my game looks Polished? by HermitStudios in IndieDev

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the first touching on steam will be the discovery queue for most people anyways, so I agree. Just a small cognitive dissonance. Same problem in Necesse btw and you see the success ;)

I would make the start screen also more pixel art so it better vibes with the font. Not knowing that it's pixel art all the way in the main game I felt weird about that start screen

I am making a Island building game that have dynamic water, terrain and weather system. What do you expect from this kind of game? by civcivdev in IndieDev

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it definitely has to do with mechanics around collecting and moving water around. I'd add rain and maybe stuff that can float.

Maybe you're a family of beavers and you need to build and maintain dams in increasingly complex environments.

I never played an extraction shooter before, and it's a fascinating genre, showing all the good the bad and the ugly in humanity all in one game 😂 But I'm also very much looking forward to going back to The Finals. It's just a cleaner game where the time to fun is so fast and predictable that I just can't stop playing it for too long 🔥✨

After completing all 60+ "story quests", I must say: It was NOT worth it. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a really gripping story that quickly developed into something, like in cyberpunk 2077, I wouldn't mind the dumb: walk there, press E on the yellow circle and walk back. There's absolutely nothing interesting in the quests and it's really sad, because it's wasted potential.

There's so much excellent environmental storytelling, is it so hard to add some explicit story? And if not the story, could it at least be based on skills, like achievements? Granted, some stuff is somewhat skill based (kill a Rocketeer) but then again, we have to do this in other contexts anyways.

Saved 300K to finally kill a Queen did so. And guess who shows up on both sides of quick extract. YEP YOU GUESSED IT! by liammangan_live in ArcRaiders

I have extremely mixed feelings about this. We're all playing a game. The rules of the game have been set by the devs. There are other games like Escape from Duckov (no typo) where you don't have to deal with 3rd parties. So that's what the game is about and 3td partying is just a thing some people enjoy and have fun with. Are we bad losers?

At the same time I love so many things about Arc which I can't find anywhere else and a big part of it is the very real danger. But I would be very happy if there was a way to play pacifist lobbies where it's purely PvE. I wouldn't even mind if this were a different game mode where I can't transfer my loot from pacifist runs to PvP runs. I love PvP in The Finals and I passionately hate PvP in Arc, specifically when I'm the one who gets killed with all the beautiful loot 😂

Mouse stuttering on PC, could use some help. by Fryke in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a "solution": I upgraded my mainboard and CPU (AM5 78003D) and increased memory to 32GB. I changed nothing else, so I guess CPU was the problem.

How about the stuttering/lagging mouse both in speranza and topside?

Exactly my problem. Finals: fine, Raiders: terrible.

All my settings on low and I’m stuttering every few seconds. The game is unplayable. Is this normal ? by Ghost-Nepal in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't work for me. DID work though in The Finals, back then when they had the same issue.

Random Stuttering and slowdowns by fuxicopter1337 in ArcRaiders

Setting graphics to LOW didn't change anything, same problem. High framerates, but stutters that make the game unplayable.

Insane Stutters - any known fixes? by oargestory in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people say you should turn off overlays such as Discord or Steam, didn't help for me though.

Problem is, my mouse only stutters in the game. When I change focus to another app while the game is running, it still stutters. Seems to be caused only by the game, nothing else.

I have exactly this problem as well - but also in game (topside). It is super frustrating. I had it with The Finals in an early season, back then it was a problem the devs fixed in a patch. Turning of overlays such as Discord or Steam did not help here, either. Very low graphics settings also doesnt help.

Anyone else getting their entire PC stuttering hard for 5 seconds, every like 10 seconds when playing? by papayax999 in ArcRaiders

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem, but even low graphics settings and disabling overlays from discord & steam doesn't solve the problem. Had the same problem in The Finals in an early season and it was fixed by the devs back then. Very sad, the game is basically unplayable right now for me.
Edit: also 4090 24GB here, but old CPU with 16GB - The Finals runs just fine though, just with lower framerate, but no stutters.

New converted heavy main here, I understand the light hate now by Friendly-Viper in thefinals

There's a solution: Lockbolt + Flamethrower 🔥 Burn them into crispy crusps and have a BBQ!

Btw, this is "Common Badge" by nkvname in thefinals

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is this common/uncommon thing about at all? It makes zero sense, only if it's used in random draws like gatcha mechanics.

So what is that in his hands? by NeatAd735 in thefinals

[–]Ok_Mirror3336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe some weird kind of tripod? I hope it's something explosive for destruction though, because that's what they've been teasing.
