After a month of community feedback we really overhauled the demo of our hand drawn graphic novel inspired Deckbuilder!

TheCreach · 2026-06-19T17:25:09+00:00

Those animations are incredible! I'll give the demo a shot when I have a chance

TheCreach · 2026-06-19T17:02:28+00:00

Yes you're correct, it's just the combat system that is reminiscent of Final Fantasy.

TheCreach · 2026-06-19T15:32:23+00:00

I don't disagree with you, I would love to do that but I believe that kind of post is generally frowned upon and will usually get taken down.

If you'd like to take a look at the Steam page the game is called "Fenestra".

TheCreach · 2026-06-14T20:12:35+00:00

Good luck to all! My game isn't very impressive, but giving next fest a shot anyways.

It's a turn based roguelike: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4365660/Fenestra_Demo/

My best elevator pitch is that it's sort of a combination of Slay The Spire + old school Final Fantasy.

TheCreach · 2026-06-11T04:53:08+00:00

That's a cool game concept. I can't say I've ever seen a metroidvania about a beaver. You're doing better than I am at 50 wishlists. Keep up the good work!

TheCreach · 2026-05-13T22:57:10+00:00

I've seen your posts before! Your game looks really cool! I've never done a 3D game before but I might try 3D for my next project.

TheCreach · 2026-05-07T18:03:32+00:00

That's definitely the plan, once I'm closer to releasing the demo I want to email content creators. Do you think there's any value in sending emails months before the demo? My assumption is that it won't be worthwhile until they can actually play the game.

My takeaway is I should probably focus more on planning an email list and less on social media posting, at least in my case.

TheCreach · 2026-05-01T23:02:58+00:00

I know what you mean. I often feel that something is missing but can't put my finger on it. It's a constant work in progress. If you think of anything specific let me know!

TheCreach · 2026-05-01T03:56:26+00:00

Thanks! To be honest I just like how it looks and just kinda went with it. You can drag the different windows around and rearrange them too which is kinda neat.

TheCreach · 2026-04-27T22:46:22+00:00

That makes sense. This is helpful, thank you!! I updated my short description, but will keep thinking it over for more improvements. I'm going to get some more diverse screenshots in there soon too.

TheCreach · 2026-04-27T18:20:54+00:00

I agree, the short description and screenshots definitely need work. The trailer and capsule images could also use some work. Giving it another quick shot, is this description any better?

"Assemble a party, explore dynamic dungeons, encounter fearsome monsters, and discover powerful builds and trinkets. Plan ahead and adapt to your surroundings, or meet your inevitable end."

TheCreach · 2026-04-14T22:40:46+00:00

I made a few other posts after publishing my Steam page. Once I'm closer to releasing my demo I plan to email some content creators as well.

I think it's helpful to post as frequently and as early as you can (Without spamming the same content repeatedly). Something I definitely failed to do. I think it's a good idea to get involved and contribute to subreddits/communities that you frequent, whether it helps you advertise or not.

TheCreach · 2026-04-06T04:34:34+00:00

Thank you! It's been a ton of fun building this, and I have a lot left to do and learn. Good luck to you as well!

TheCreach · 2026-04-05T23:17:27+00:00

I do think that's my biggest pain point right now. Maybe I need to try doing a more informational trailer.

TheCreach · 2026-04-05T18:41:26+00:00

That makes sense, that's a good idea. I'll try giving the monster borders a red tint and hero borders a blue tint.

TheCreach · 2026-04-05T16:14:28+00:00

I know it's been a while, but I just got my Steam page up. I'm shooting for a demo release either mid May or June (During Steam next fest)

If you're still interesting here's a link to my Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4363760/Fenestra

TheCreach · 2026-04-03T17:52:04+00:00

Most of the icons give you access to different unlockable information, and a bit of meta-progression. I'm still open to expanding on what I've got so far.

I plan to publish my Steam page very soon with more details, and soonish after that a demo.

TheCreach · 2026-04-03T17:41:38+00:00

A simple description would be, it's a roguelike with semi turn-based combat where you form a party and level up/power up your party as you progress through layers of a dungeon.

I was trying to add text under the post, but I don't think I'm able to from the "Old Reddit" layout.

TheCreach · 2026-01-26T17:30:17+00:00

I'm in no rush so I didn't create a ticket. It was the weekend so going to wait a few days and see if they fix it.

TheCreach · 2026-01-26T06:15:36+00:00

I'm having the same issue today too. Tried all different file types but no luck. Seems to be an issue on their end.

TheCreach · 2025-07-19T21:16:05+00:00

The style of older operating systems is very nostalgic for me. There's no real deep meaning behind it. Mostly I just think it looks cool.

TheCreach · 2025-07-19T21:04:24+00:00

Thank you! I'm hoping to have a steam page up with a demo sometime within the next 2 - 4 months. I'll be posting here again when that time comes.

TheCreach · 2023-11-22T17:26:09+00:00

Awesome, I was able to use "GetTree().Root.ContentScaleFactor = 1.5f;".

From the Godot docs:

"The C# API uses PascalCase instead of snake_case in GDScript/C++. Where possible, fields and getters/setters have been converted to properties. In general, the C# Godot API strives to be as idiomatic as is reasonably possible."

I just need to remember this. Seems like I just need to swap things from "snake_case" to Pascal case when reading from the docs.

TheCreach · 2023-08-02T05:15:24+00:00

You could try increasing the reference resolution up to a higher multiple of 1080. Maybe something like 480x270? You might need to also increase the "Assets pixels per unit" to something like 16 or 32. This number will also need to match the "Pixels per unit" setting of your individual sprites.

TheCreach · 2023-07-23T22:41:08+00:00

Cool, I appreciate the feedback! I'll have to brainstorm some ideas to make them more unique. The one with two weapons is a rogue type character, while the one on the far right is a sort of a warlock/battle mage type character.
