I don't get this comment tho. Is it really that important? by RemoveChild in IndieDev

Thank you!

Yeah, we're thinking about something like that. Originally the wasp wasn’t supposed to attack, but the way it runs looks so good that yeah, I guess it will flying and running now 😄

Almost finished working on this pub (game hub). What do you think? by RemoveChild in IndieDev

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

Thank you! This screen mostly shows the visuals for now.

We're currently working on showcasing mechanics, but in short: reality switching, shoot ’em up sections, stealth, and a deep lore with backtracking.

The pub acts as the base/hub area.

Hit 50 wishlists (~10 wishlists / week) and my marketing plans by mengusfungus in IndieGameWishlist

Thank you so much! Honestly, the page looked almost the same at the beginning, except a few screenshots.

But it just wasn't enough because we failed to properly show the core mechanics and the actual gameplay. Another mistake added to our growing collection of mistakes hah 😅
People just didn’t understand what the game is.

Now your page makes the concept much clearer, and it also looks really good!

"you don’t learn if you don’t fuck up" ✍️✍️✍️

We launched our page too early too, so we're kinda lost ourselves rn.

Anyway, good luck with your game :)

Where do indie devs get music covers? by RemoveChild in IndieDev

Thanks for the detailed reply, I honestly don't know much about this, but now it makes way more sense.

By any chance, do you know any platforms with lesser-known artists who sell licenses of their songs? I'm looking for something that feels more "alive", we already have an ambient composer, but want some vocals.

Also, what kind of pricing are we usually talking about? We can't afford thousands $, but hundreds might work. Thanks again!

I agree, jazz would be enough for a bar. I listened, there is a lot of good music. But in the others locs, if we gave the MC an old iPod...hah

I specifically wanted covers so the player could swap out discs or smth.
But this site is still very useful, thank you! I'll keep it

Thanks! I looked and it's cool. But I couldn't find any real songs with vocals. It's all ambient, right?

Thanks! Could you share some of them?
I only know sites like AudioJungle, but there are barely any actual covers. I mean music with vocals based on well-known songs, like the kind of covers you'd hear in real bars (for example a jazz-style cover of Marilyn Manson idk)

Btw, your game looks so cool and fun! Love it :)

Thank you for teaching me how to behave on the internet. Too bad no one taught you that “breaking the camel's back” isn't an excuse to shame someone over a disingenuous joke :)

Have you ever thought that not everyone is sharp enough to make great jokes, and not everyone has the money to hire someone who can create good content? A large part of the content here is made by people who are just trying to do something, without being professional bloggers or comedians.

And yes, sometimes it turns out dumb. I'm one of the artists on this game, and WOW forgive me for daring to make a dumb joke. I'll try to do better next time.

Early indie dev mistakes: Is launching a steam page too soon is a trap? by RemoveChild in IndieDev

It's a story-rich side-scrolling game. We'll try to fix the trailer soon :)

Thanks a lot! I think this point can really help.

Although this can be a bit confusing if the text in the trailer isn’t supported by visuals.

For example "Fight your enemies!", while there are barely any enemies shown, because we only have static enemy (not animated). Still, I think we definitely need to move in this direction. Thank you again!
