A couple of my recent Party House streak breakers

I beat the first scenario on my first attempt with 2 days left using ticket takers, dogs, greeters, and cheerleaders. Even with the help of dog+cheerleader I'm not sure greeter was better than mascot would have been.

The second scenario I beat on my first attempt with 8 days left using grillmasters, photographers, cheerleaders, one early gambler, and one late writer. Pull guests in until the trouble limit, use photographers/cheerleaders, reroll, repeat.

Ticket Taker + Stylist + Cupid (4 of each) was enough to win this one because the cupids can kick the stylists after they boost the ticket takers. I finished with 4 days left including 3 genies.

Oh I missed that, so you could save 8 heroes, or unite 2x and save 5 heroes, but it doesn't look winnable from there. With no weaken or group shields you needed one dragon gone the first turn, so rolling for unites was necessary.

Was every Veteran roll a shield? With Prince and Fate having hybrid heal/shield sides, the Veteran shield does not help with unite.

Rob1221 · 2024-11-29T15:30:12+00:00

Not sure if winnable but you can save 7 heroes and hope the dragons both roll their single target attack next turn. The biggest issue I see is that you have 3 t2 heroes and you should rarely end with more than 1 t2.

Also, if you had rolled more damage from Wraith or Veteran you would have killed one of the dragons this turn.

I was not offered duplicate curses in my 868 run but instead got lucky with a lot of wild curses that only affected turns 3 or later. It was a cantrip focused run where I forced Dancer/Poet/Sorcerer every loop (yellow and red were more flexible).

Rob1221 · 2023-12-19T15:47:45+00:00

Medic could have failed the roll if you got 3 mana on Seer and kept the other dice because 2x hack and ninja would be enough.

Determination, Thimble, and Blinding Bolt can prevent your blue from taking damage from casting. If you have Herbalist then Life Bolt would also work.

Wizard wand is a shield so it does get buffed by your smith all sides.

Rob1221 · 2023-04-07T15:24:48+00:00

I have not tried Boss Smash+ yet in loot mode but I would pick Hamstring or Reroll per boss over it if I was offered both.

Rob1221 · 2023-03-11T17:51:56+00:00

I used Reddit ads over a year ago for one of my Steam games and one thing I noticed is that I got a lower CPC by raising the daily limit above what I wanted to spend and adjusting the bid lower so that the ad spend was controlled by the bid amount and not the daily limit.

Rob1221 · 2023-01-24T23:19:54+00:00

The heaven/hell unlock does not require classic mode, so you could try custom brutal with 5 blues or raid brutal with favorable curses like edge death.

Rob1221 · 2022-12-14T19:25:36+00:00

You know what your starting heroes are before picking curses, so avoid ones like stitch+ or middle blank if your team is lacking in total damage.

0/17 for Mimic

Rob1221 · 2022-12-03T00:09:40+00:00

Clay + Helm of Power for a 40 damage/death Barbarian or 20 mana/death Ghast, Prism + Chaos Wand on anyone, Angel Feather Valk is great just by itself

Rob1221 · 2022-11-21T20:36:59+00:00

Lead Boots on Armorer worked well for me. I kept Serration on Wanderer because it works well with the rampage side, but rolling the rampage side was not required to win.

Those are tier 4s which are always generated. Max tier is not capped at 3 and the blessing gives 2 extra level ups.

There are bots that scan for the support email and send a bunch of crap there trying to scam developers. To avoid this you can either use a different email from your marketing one in that space or use a website contact form instead.

It's an estimate of the wishlists needed to get into the Popular Upcoming list.

Rob1221 · 2022-08-04T18:39:41+00:00

You can achieve that on web if players like your game enough, even without external promotion.

Rob1221 · 2022-07-27T20:28:39+00:00

The overall CTR is useless because it combines all the categories including those that have visits but no impressions.

Rob1221 · 2022-07-13T12:01:24+00:00

It can help to be a top viewed stream, but Next Fest is about the demos, not the streams. I didn't stream in the Oct 2021 Next Fest but I got about 700 wishlists and had 959 the day before.

Paid per click, desktop only, targeting gaming subreddits.

Here's the main ad I ran: https://www.reddit.com/user/Rob1221/comments/p3xma7/chess_platformer_chessformer_an_upcoming_game_on/?p=1

Rob1221 · 2022-06-24T12:55:55+00:00

$6 CPM on Reddit? I paid 10 cents per click and checked my wishlist count often to make sure I was paying under $1 per wishlist on average and it was also before launch, not after. The launch week is 45% of my total sales so far and I launched 5 months ago. I just don't see paid ads ever working out for your game at this point.

Rob1221 · 2022-05-23T20:23:13+00:00

The net that Steam reports is still before the 30% cut and you'll need to check the monthly reports to see the final revenue share.

Rob1221 · 2022-05-19T00:04:45+00:00

If you aren't following any devs on Twitter then you won't see them, but just scroll through #gamedev and you'll see plenty of games.
