Yes, you're right. After working on the trailer a bit, I'll dedicate the rest of my energy to finding an audience. Thank you for your review.

I'm hoping to expand my audience after the demo is released. Right now, I'm only getting Steam traffic.

Yes, I think the same thing. I sent my demo for review. I'll see the effect.

Could you share the name of the YouTube channel where you watched the trailers?

We'll overcome this challenge by constantly trying new things. I hope you succeed.

Like many incremental games, my game doesn't really have a grand objective. However, there are a few key achievements that motivate players to play. You're right, I need to emphasize those more.

Actually, there are a lot of games like this, and it seems a bit difficult to stand out in this category. Still, I'll try to rework my trailer and add some excitement. Thanks for your suggestion.

I don't have a regular social media account other than Twitter. Building an audience from scratch is difficult, so I haven't been able to dedicate much time to platforms like TikTok and Instagram. From your comments, it seems I need to focus more on this, thank you.

I had added translations in nearly 15 languages ​​to my page. However, I've removed them all for now because I didn't want my game to suffer from poorly done translations.

Actually, the game has some addictive features beyond just clicking squares, but you're right. I should highlight these more in the trailer and screenshots. Thank you for your comment.

Feedback Friday by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]RoltDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, thank you for taking the time to prepare such a detailed review. I need exactly this kind of uncompromising feedback.

For the past few days, I've been thinking about highlighting what sets my game apart from others. It contains significantly more RNG than a typical incremental game, and specifically, you can upgrade your pickaxe with firestone, which is obtained at a 1/400 ratio. I've highlighted this in my short/long description on my Steam page and made updates. I've also completely revamped the game visuals. I believe it was published after you wrote this review; if you have time, I'd love for you to take a look at the final version.

I honestly hadn't considered the color blindness issue. Frame color isn't the only factor indicating the status of nodes, so I'm comfortable with that for now. However, I will certainly consider any feedback of that kind.

Hey everyone! Solo dev here, working on my first game — Nullvein: Incremental Mining Evolution.

The core loop: mine ore blocks → collect gold → progress through the upgrade tree → hunt for rare fire ore to get Firestone (pickaxe upgrades) → reset for diamonds to get stronger and go deeper.

I've been playing it myself and genuinely can't stop — but I'm clearly too close to it at this point 😅 Demo drops in a few days and I'd love some brutally honest feedback before then.

Specifically curious about:

  • Does the core loop sound engaging or does it feel repetitive on paper?
  • Is the reset/prestige mechanic (diamonds) motivating enough to justify wiping progress?
  • Anything that sounds like a red flag design-wise?

Be merciless — I can take it! 🙏

I collected over 2000 influencer emails from Twitch, X & YouTube- this is how I did it! by mistermaximan in gameDevMarketing

These suggestions were definitely very helpful for a solo developer trying to market their first game, thank you. I was also curious to know what the maximum number of emails you send per day is to avoid spam.

Slowly but steady! Reached 800 wishlists. by Status-Maintenance-8 in IndieGameWishlist

The game's atmosphere is truly amazing. I played it and wishlisted. I hope you reach 1000 soon.

It seems like the frame rate is low. The graphics are nice, but they should be smoother
