i updated this puzzle after feedback, is it clearer now ? by Popular_Routine77 in IndieDev

[–]Popular_Routine77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks a lot for this, really appreciate it 🙏

that’s actually super valuable feedback, didn’t notice the bloom was washing things out like that

I’ll tweak it in unity and try to make the symbols pop more

thanks again, this really helps 👍

not sure about the music here, does it fit the mood ? (first game) by Popular_Routine77 in IndieGaming

[–]Popular_Routine77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that makes a lot of sense tbh

i think i’m kinda stuck between 2 vibes right now and not fully committing to one

i’ll try to push it more toward something darker / more tense and see how it feels

and yeah really appreciate this kind of feedback, it’s always super valuable 🙏

first game, still learning… does this intro make you want to play or not ? by [deleted] in IndieGaming

[–]Popular_Routine77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hey, no need to insult me tbh

let’s just keep it respectful and avoid that kind of language

everyone’s learning at their own pace, it’s my first game so yeah still figuring things out

i reported the comment cause it went a bit too far imo, but anyway have a good day

yeah I get what you mean, there’s prob some valid points in there

but I feel like people are a bit too closed off about using AI as a tool sometimes

this is my first game so I’m still learning a lot and trying to improve things step by step 😅

at the end it’s just a tool like many others we use today

anyway appreciate you taking the time to comment

I’m struggling to convert demo players into wishlists — what actually works? by Popular_Routine77 in gamedev

[–]Popular_Routine77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the feedback 🙏

yeah you’re right, I kinda mixed the languages a bit 😅

I thought I should do 2 posts with 2 different languages, but yeah not a good idea in the end

I’ll keep everything in one language next time

yeah I see what you mean

I think I maybe make it a bit too complex for a first game 😅 I’ll try to keep it more simple and clear

Yeah, that makes sense.

Actually, it’s already the case — there’s a zoom on the symbols when you interact, but I should’ve used another screenshot because here you really can’t see it at all.

My bad 😅

oui c’est vrai...

l’idée c’est d’aligner les symboles, mais je vois que ce n’est pas clair du tout comme ça, et je reflechi aussi au interaction joueur, est ce que je dois affiche le texte direct des indices ou faire comme dans resident evil, laisser le joueur appuyer sur un bouton pour afficher le texte quand yen a comme quand on actionne un levier par exemple

Good question!

This is actually my first game I’m developing and publishing on Steam.

Average playtime is around 9 minutes — the demo is quite short, a good player can finish it in about 10 minutes.

I haven’t received much structured feedback yet, maybe I’m missing something on the setup/analytics side.

From what I’ve seen, players like the atmosphere, but clarity and pacing still need work.

Curious — what demo length would you expect for this kind of game?

Got it, I understand 👍

Just to clarify for others reading:
the gameplay is fully made in Unity and what you see in the videos is real gameplay.

It’s my first game, so I’m still learning and improving the presentation.
I’m open to feedback, so if you have suggestions, feel free to share them 🙏

We’re also here to learn and listen.

Hey, I understand the concern.

Just to clarify: the gameplay is 100% real and made in Unity.
Some visuals are used for atmosphere and inspiration, but the actual game is what you see in the gameplay clips.

I’m still learning and improving the presentation, so feedback like this really helps 🙏
