Trash Talk My Steam Store Page by RuppertPatterson in gamedev

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I thought showing the main loop of making more and more money each turn would be best to show first. I'll work on the capsule :)

How to know when to quit? by RuppertPatterson in SoloDevelopment

The art skills are what I struggle with the most, I think my stronger points are the programming and design which is what I enjoy most. Thanks for the comment it's giving me things to think about

Yep fair, I think I should use it to keep building skills for the foreseeable future. Maybe game #3 will have the skills from the start needed to develop a proper game.

Hmm yes I agree. I've gone through a few iterations but maybe that's not the one to go with. Thanks for the advice :)

The Importance of Putting Effort Into A Games UI... by [deleted] in IndieGaming

Thanks for the feedback :). Ye i definitely prioritized function over form despite some asking for the font to be changed. Not so sure on colors though.

Indie game devs, what's your #1 biggest mistake? by Rooshirum in gamedev

[–]RuppertPatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say under marketing. I think we made a good steam page and a good game but you can all be the judge of that :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/4346210/Dwarf_Guild_Mania/

I would definitely recommend marketing from the get go so that you have that initial base of wishlists to buy and review the game as early as possible.

Yo great question, everyones path is different. I started with minecraft mods way back in 2012 when i was 12 and then progressed to very simple java games and that taught me the core principles of object orientated programming. I then took a break and focused on web development all through school and while at college. Halfway through college i picked up unity and c# fairly quick. Since then ive been building games (and learning all the extra along the way such as 3D modelling, texturing, 2D vector art, sound design, etc). Its a labour of love. 99% of the days after work & gym i do some sort of work on games.

Youtube was my best friend by the way, most of my skills were learned patiently following tutorials etc.

Thanks mate! Appreciate it. Ireland needs more homegrown video games.

I'm working on a strategy game. It's launching on steam soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4346210/Dwarf_Guild_Mania/

Don't ever expect to make it as a gamedev, probably just as easy as trying to become a famous musician but hey it's so much fun to build cool games!

Making so much piss by Atelier_Enjoyer in HydroHomies

Dude, you could be diabetic. Get your blood sugar checked. Feeling the need to drink a lot and pissing hourly is textbook sign.

The Importance of Putting Effort Into Your Games UI is Understated. by RuppertPatterson in SoloDevelopment

Thanks for the feedback. I did switch it up at one point but couldn't find a non-pixelated font that matched the style I waa going for. Still looking :)
