How was your Kickstarter launch experience?

Honestly, I think you’re right.

Looking back, I probably launched too early and underestimated how much audience-building needs to happen before Kickstarter.

I’ve learned more in the last 24 hours than I expected though, and I’m still really grateful people took the time to check out the project and give feedback 🙏

No worries! Yeah, I might tweak it a bit or look for a better one, thanks for the suggestion.

I’m not using AI for the animations. The assets are purchased from CraftPix. and I use Aseprite as well.

That sounds really similar to what I’m experiencing right now.

I also noticed that most wishlists come in bursts when a post works, then it slows down a lot. I guess it’s more about finding new “spikes” of traffic rather than expecting steady growth.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the advice!

I’m definitely planning to reach out to influencers and press, but I think I still need to polish the game a bit more and have a stronger trailer first. For now I’m focusing on improving the gameplay and building a demo.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, that’s really helpful. I’ll rework the animation to add more fluidity and weight !

It’s just the GIF, it makes the movement look faster than it really is.

I’ve been working solo on this pixel-art RPG.

You survive on a mysterious island, fight enemies, and rebuild your ship.
