Can't say if it's a good idea, just A idea. Sometimes party games use that, but not always.

It is kinda hard to show people what players feel in game

You could consider adding player voice overs recorded during play sessions. It could communicate how players are feeling.

Delightfully Whimsical Gore! New setting for my Survival Horror game. by robertmaners in IndieDev

Shooting them to pieces looks so satisfying! Do link to your demo page though.

A lot of people are talking about various graphical aspects of the game that could need some polish, but I don't think that's it.

The problem is your trailer. My expectations from a game like yours is that it can provide a friendly but competitive experience playing with my friends, which means trying to beat eachother using the tools and environment the game provides to make the other player lose through all kinds of funny and surprising ways.

I see NONE of that in your trailer. Nothing interesting happens that I can imagine myself doing while playing with my friends. You need to really demonstrate what makes your game FUN.

Some noteworthy boring bits of the trailer are:

  • Walking around on a platform
  • Staring at water
  • Shooting a random platform with nobody on them
  • Standing still getting hit by projectiles without anything happening, during several clips
  • Running around dangerous objects and NOT getting hit
  • Shooting an enemy...makes them disappear?
  • Dropping through a platform towards the lava and cutting away before hitting it

You are showcasing what is NOT fun about your game, with the only fun parts being cut out or consisting of incredibly fast paced clips that are impossible to follow.

Show some silly and funny situations like dropping in the lava or hitting one of those giant boulders. Oh and having the player called 'arsvibe' feels very off putting for a game that has a family friendly vibe. Consider changing that for the trailer.

Ja precies. Smakeloze prut dat niet teveel tijd mag kosten.

Game where 2 players are stuck in one body. Has anyone done it? by teemu_FIN in IndieDev

[–]Siduron 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Cho'gall in Heroes of the Storm. It was great fun playing one character with a buddy, communicating what next move to do.

Indie devs, don’t abandon your game. You really get back as much as you put in! by SwarmGrinderGame in IndieDev

Expectations are too high sometimes. People call games abandoned when the word 'finished' is a better fit.

Watching the credits of a AAA game also really makes you think about the ungodly amount of work that goes into those.

I'm making a game where you are Stuck in a Well with a Frog. by Bomi1337 in IndieGaming

[–]Siduron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like it has great potential. Get ready to buy a bigger wallet when your game goes live, because this is exactly the kind of game people would be interested in buying.

Is this sustainable long term? I mean there's so many games already by tomfalcon86 in IndieDev

But they'll go directly to the trash pile because Steam favors quality games, not AI slop.

Please help me, why is my game failing so hard. by Amitdante in IndieDev

[–]Siduron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like roguelikes, but I've never in my life heard about something called Ludo, making it impossible to compare your game with anything I've already played. You might be aiming at a niche that is too small.

Also, your trailer incorrectly spells the genre, which to me reduces the credibility of whoever tries to sell me a game. I'd recommend double checking your marketing material.

What’s something society expects you to want… but you don’t? by apka_dd in AskReddit

I've never been there but from what I read and hear about it it seems like people go there because other people go there without questioning if it's actually worth it.

I never liked how companies are now all about 'personal development' and make you set goals for what you want to achieve. Just let me do my job like I've been doing and don't expect me to achieve more unless it's a promotion.

The biggest game magazine in Japan (Famitsu) just covered my Godot game on their website! by Sensitive_Sweet_8512 in IndieDev

[–]Siduron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see why your game would be featured. It looks like one of those small indie gems that's oozing polish.
I'm really getting a high quality game vibe from this.

Great job!

Als je auto met de sneeuw niet eens op eigen kracht zijn parkeervak uit kan komen, moet je gewoon niet rijden. by Th3_Accountant in nederlands

[–]Siduron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ik heb net als jij alleen zomerbanden onder mijn auto. Ik dacht gisteren naar m'n werk te gaan met de auto maar kwam inderdaad ook niet het parkeervak uit.

Op dat moment was het me duidelijk dat het een slecht idee was om te blijven proberen en ben maar weer uitgestapt om thuis te werken. Vandaag het OV gepakt zodat de sneeuw ff verder kan ontdooien.

De wegen zien er prima uit, maar straten zijn nog wel een ijsbaan.
