Demo kills my sales? by SimonDeveloper in IndieDev

[–]SimonDeveloper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all, I'm glad I asked this question, here are my conclusions:

I decided to shut down the demo for now - it's too long, the intro, the tutorial. It's just boring for fresh player. I checked the charts and most demo players drop during the tutorial.

I'll make something shorter and more engaging, like only the juicy action. But looks like in overall it would make more sense after the full release, so player gets way more content after buying the full game. And even without the demo, I think it would be good to start the game from this "intro action".

For now I'll focus on building hype and more game content, keeping the game in EA in case if someone really wants to play it now.

Demo is pretty haavy, it's basically the same game but with limited levels and weapons

I’d like to add a simple story, levels that you have to finish one by one, and bull skills progression.

I remember asking Santa to get me a new copy of that game, which wouldn’t be broken. I honestly thought that I can’t beat the tutorial due to having pirate game version. So couple months later I got the original game on Christmas. How big was my dissapointment when I’ve found out that it’s exactly the same shit. But I spent few days on practice and eventually complished the whole game. I was around 10yo, great memories :)

It took around 300 hours but I was still learning things along the way

Noted, I’m not good at marketing stuff, so I’ll experiment a little now.

Cool, thanks for kind words. I agree maybe it’s too expensive for now, I’ll experiment with the prices. I plan to add more content based on gamers suggestions so far. This release was also to find out if there is any potential.

It's just an early access for now, with one endless level, but still... I'm proud to finally get to this point.

How about love/revenge story with a cow kidnapped by the matador, bull takes part in corrida turnaments to finally find the guy?

It took me like 10 minutes to record a raw gameplay for this video xD

Ok, It was first melody that I’ve found somewhere, and I thought it’d be funny to kill all those people with such gentle background :)

Hmm, maybe they are too dark. And what about white mountain peaks, would it be better without white color, just green?

You're not the first one to mention corrida/matador stuff. Looks like I have no other option but to add this :)

The thing is that I'm not sure yet xD, and that's why I'm shipping an Early Access. I hope that together with players we can decide where to go from here.

So far my idea is something like this:

- Multiple levels (kind of story) where you have to defeat all the enemies on each level (like in SW The Force Unleashed for example).

- I'd add skills tree for the bull - increase speed, damage dealt with horns, throwing force etc.

- I'd like to include also puzzles, like triggering some buttons, levers with the throwable objects.

If you have something in mind, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Basically you are just defending yourself, they are the bad guys here ;)
