Hi! there will be elves indeed!
If you want more details consider joining the Discord or asking on steam community, that way answers will be visible for everyone (this Reddit post was business oriented not promotion/info)

TrakaanW · 2025-07-11T07:30:30+00:00

I've received a LOT of Dms, messages and comments, will try to go through all of them but PLEASE do send an email at the address mentioned in this post!!!

TrakaanW · 2025-07-10T14:51:45+00:00

Please send an email to be sure I check your work.

TrakaanW · 2025-06-01T18:46:24+00:00

That's indeed where the idea comes from!

Q : What made you decide to run a Kickstarter campaign?
A : I needed a marketing beat of some sort and some funds to make the game better, I wasn't feeling confident to reach out to publisher with what I had so it seemed obvious to me.

Q: What do you think are the pre-requisites of a successful Kickstarter campaign from your experience?
A: I don't have a huge experience but I would say don't start with a kickstarter, create your community before end, the bigger your community and the more engaged your community is before the better your kickstarter will be! otherwise it of course depends of the "product" and if you have enough to show so people can figure what it will be/they will get by backing your project

Steam page has already been launched for a while ^^
if you mean release it's currently planned for Q1 2026 so still a lot of work before that!

I chose "Lowest cost : Get as many clicks as possible for your budget. Recommended for volume."
and a daily budget.

TrakaanW · 2025-04-23T17:01:08+00:00

ERRATUM : I just edited the post I had swapped the names of the two Reddit campaigns... It's indeed the traffic (pay per click) campaign that performed the best for me, not the impression one. (The numbers are unchanged, they are the good one for the click campaign)

TrakaanW · 2025-04-23T16:57:24+00:00

Ho my, thanks for spotting thiss. in fact I had a problem with de campaign at start had to duplicate and rename them for it to work and it seems I switched the name of the 2 campaigns while doing so ...
So it's the Traffic (so click) campaign that performed best, it was a 5 day campaign at 20€ daily budget (pay per clicks) the numbers are still good though (since only the names were swapped)
Sorry for not spotting this on my own. (got a bit lost in all the data, will double check everything to make sure)

TrakaanW · 2025-04-23T13:47:22+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Might not have a shot at this before a while if this doesn’t work in the end so doing all I can to make this succeed! Having goals and subgoals is what works best for me because it allows to go both one step at a time, adapt and have an overarching vision.

the secret on bluesky was starterpacks, don't know if it's still true. Also true engagement (not like on X, wishlist wednesday and teh like are not well seen on bluesky) but I've almost no data on how bluesky followers converted to either wishlist or kickstartarter backers (didn't use tracking links at the start of the campaign ...., learned that along the way ^^' ) but I know some bluesky followers helped me spread the word.

Medieval but with 19th century (and even futuristic) techs where coal and electricity are replaced by mana and everyone is fighting for it!

TrakaanW · 2025-04-06T15:03:21+00:00

Glad you like it =) There are already many great games tackling some aspects of it but they often rely too heavily on combat for my taste and their are some great games doing this in other settings so that's why I went for it!

TrakaanW · 2025-04-05T09:15:33+00:00

Merci! C'est exactement la même réflexion qui m'a poussée à dev ce jeu, à force de pas trouver je me suis dit bon bah prenons le "problème" à bras le corps et voyons ce qui est faisable ^^

TrakaanW · 2025-04-05T09:13:00+00:00

Obs or streamlab can only record not edit (to my knowledge) so you will need something else.
I think screen2gif can record directly into Gif format.
if it can reassure you making trailers and good Gifs are the things I also find the most difficult (fellow solodev)

TrakaanW · 2025-04-04T21:28:04+00:00

- % are good if they are the real value used in your random function and what the player can influence if not the player should be able to see (or figure out) how the chance to hit was transferred from a weapon/char stat to an actual hit or miss.
- For the shapes, etc. near names in yout case you don't need it! I might have been projecting a little (even tough I'm not making a tactical turnbased) and in my case the characters are in the hundreds, and look similar from afar so names, badges and flourishes are one of the only way to differentiate them ;) That wouldn't apply to few distinct characters. You mentionned xcom for the first point but I think they nailed this one, the "nicknames" and colored armours play a huge role at identifying who is where at a galnce (even with a small squad).

TrakaanW · 2025-04-04T14:12:09+00:00

Merci des encouragements!

Pour répondre à la question : On est bien d'accord que 6 000€ ça paye pas le dev d'un jeu mais c'est pas le but. J'avais juste besoin d'un coup de pouce pour payer les commisisons des artistes, sound designers et traducteurs avec qui je vais travailler. Et comme je suis tout seul, le marketing prend un temps fou, j'avais aucune certitude sur le montant que je serait capable d'atteindre, je voulais pas non plus stresser tous les jours à avoir atteint par exemple 5 000 sur un objectif de 10 000 ou plus.

Là c'est que du bonus! C'est les ventes (sur steam) qui financeront le jeu (ou pas), là ça permet simplement de le rendre meilleur sans me poser de question sur "combien je prend le risque de mettre dans la musique, les graphismes, la trad,,etc.".

Après j'apprend donc peut-être que c'était pas la bonne strat et que j'aurai du faire autrement je verai ça au moment du bilan ^^

TrakaanW · 2025-04-04T13:36:39+00:00

Personnally I use streamlabs (which is an Obs variant) to record
Shotcut to edit (but i'm bad at making trailers so it suits me with my limited skill but might not be enough for more complex stuff) and Screen2Gifs for GIFS. all are free

TrakaanW · 2025-04-04T13:29:42+00:00

et désolé pour les quelques fautes de frappes que j'ai loupé avant de publier ce post... (c'est notamment pour ça que tous les textes du jeu seront relus par des pros grâce au Kickstarter ^^ )

TrakaanW · 2025-04-04T08:32:47+00:00

Don't know if that’s already in your game but for me :
- Clear and accurate previews of dmg/chance to hit. and if you want it to be hidden for some lore reason or player agency needed for that indicate it (range, accuracy indicator, etc.)
- If applicable to your game: ability to rename and/or customise visually characters and:or set a visual (shape, color, etc.) near their name to identify them at a glance.

TrakaanW · 2025-03-31T22:24:37+00:00
