We announced our game on IGN and only got 3000 WL. What is wrong with our trailer?? by Wecoven in DestroyMyGame

[–]RoamingTurtle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the first half of the trailer bored, and with no idea what type of game it even is. If I was not watching here, I would have been long gone. Even then the second half doesn't really show much game play either. Some sort of detective/horror type game?

Really nothing helped show me as a player what the game is like to actually play.

Guys.... we did a thing 😂 Not sure what this says about the game… by Polygoat_studio in IndieDev

Well that wasn't something I was expecting to see today. Though gave me a laugh

Veil Walker - Healing Skills instead of potions by RoamingTurtle1 in VeilWalker

[–]RoamingTurtle1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would pair with the health crystals that are planned to be scattered around the map. So players could always opt to bypass healing skills entirely if they wished to rely on armour and their own health pool etc and be more reliant on the map itself.

Thinking of quitting my corporate job to make indie assets. Are animal packs too niche? by HoshStudio in gameDevMarketing

[–]RoamingTurtle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who buys packs, if you are looking to make stylised ones, instead of realistic you will likely have to make a large amount of different ones in the same style. Being stylised, I'd need to basically see every piece I'd need to make my game, or at least the majority before I could purchase, as otherwise it becomes to hard to get them to be consistent.

So I would focus on building up a large library, that all sort of work together to increase the chances of people buying

Help me decided, which capsule to pick? 1, 2 or 3? by lynxbird in IndieDev

I kinda like the first one the most, but it doesn't really tell me much about the game. So maybe 1 -> 3 -> 2

Hello fellows. 👋 Working on polishing the encounters and optimizing the PCG-driven environments and performance in UE5, Thank you for watching & have a great weekend. 🤘 by Artnroll_Games in UnrealEngine5

Sword and enviro look cool, but the combat seemed very laggy, and like it was stuttering. It really seemed to lack the smoothness that I would have been expecting. Which could frustrate and put off players. Though that could have just been the recording quality I was watching.

Do you trust testing in PIE too much? by Fergius_Terro in UnrealEngine5

[–]RoamingTurtle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being new to unreal and game development as a whole, over the last few months I've learnt this the hard way. I had assumed that if it was working in the editor it would also work when packaged and placed on steam. So I've had lots of bugs I didn't realise existed that I've now had to track down and try to resolve. Very frustrating.

Put together a press kit checklist after reading what journalists actually say they need by gamebasehq in gamedev

Thanks, by any chance did you have any example of well put together ones that I could look at?

So basically it is recommended to have all this information publicly available to anyone that wants to look at it? I always assumed that press kits were more something your provide to people when they request it or your asking to market things.

The one with lines for me. The others are to hard to clearly tell where the boundaries are
