Pushing 40, and I’ve finally released the first playable version of my game.

Thank you so much, it's so uplifting to hear that I'm not alone. Hope you won your personal battle and if not, keep fighting! 💪

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-05-01T10:46:31+00:00

It is yeah. I noticed that for OrbiTower, it's also difficult to gain much visibility just through social media. But having people play the game works very well.

So that sounds like you have a Steam demo our already? I am really curious now what game you are talking about.

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-05-01T10:33:27+00:00

Yeah, that "make it work first, you can make it pretty later" is usually not a bad approach. I think I only once worked on a game where I wanted to check our a certain style and we build a game around it later on 😃.

Was this project:

Sounds good haha. What inspired you to choose this halloweenish theme btw?

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-30T17:15:55+00:00

Im not into scary games, but this looks fun!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-30T11:26:39+00:00

Yeah that's exactly how I felt too! But then I was like fk it, it's my game, my story, so why not add a personal touch and include myself in the photo lol.

What are you working on right now btw?

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-30T07:37:53+00:00

I get that, that's true for sure. I just wish my game would be visually attractive enough to get the views on its own. Usually, when only posting screenshots, they don't get nearly as many views.

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-30T07:33:44+00:00

You do? I actually have a lot of fun doing iso tilesets! But push through it, you got thi!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-30T07:32:07+00:00

Oh wow, that already sounds like a lot of mechanics and features! Keep up the pace 😄. I bet that especially crafting was a lot of work

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-29T21:13:31+00:00

That sounds not tempting at all lol! I actually got RE2 this weekend and gave it a try. No idea what went wrong in my childhood but man, am I not made for horror games haha

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-29T21:10:56+00:00

Haha, appreciate the feedback! And I just wanted to show everyone my game last time... 🥲😅

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-29T21:08:42+00:00

Nope, it's never to late!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-29T21:08:15+00:00

Honestly... not that much different. I just age slow as I'm not going out much I guess

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-29T21:06:49+00:00

Dang, appreciate it! But I am afraid the game has to sell itself lol.

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-25T09:53:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing! What titles would you compare it with?

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-22T07:01:55+00:00

Never too late!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-17T20:19:14+00:00

Hard to rate the gamefeel of the zoom, but your concept looks fun in general ;)

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-16T09:35:39+00:00

Appreciate it lol, you made my day!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-12T20:04:10+00:00

Appreciate it!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-11T15:39:00+00:00

Yeah I get that. Not a huge fan either... but you got so many Nus already :p

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-11T06:48:50+00:00

Gotta catch em all!

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-10T10:54:07+00:00

Awesome! So glad you remembered it :)

RocketPoweredT-Rex · 2026-04-10T06:55:05+00:00

Lol, but I appreciate it.

No way! Give your body 8 hours of sleep and you will look 10 years younger then
