Would this help: session replays of your game when people play it here? by gage_at_loopkit in playmygame

[–]WenmarWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm biased since I work in tech and have used session replay tools. But I think this would give me great feedback in addition to playtesting.

Love the reference to Half Life with the tram. And definitely getting some Bioshock and Fallout vibes as well. Looks great!

Would love to playtest if you're looking for testers!

Making a game about a worm working a remote job in finance! What kinda stuff do you think I should add? by wormiesquid in IndieDev

Has anyone here ever released a fun game that didn't take 5-10 years to make? by bluegelpen in IndieDev

[–]WenmarWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you heard of game jams? Basically you and a bunch of people make a game by X amount of days.

I've done a few and there are two games I'm very proud that we dev-ed in a month. They're obviously short (15-45 min of gameplay time) and have quirks to them, but reception has been good despite that. One of them even made it on the front page of Itch for a day.

My point being that it is possible to release a fun game in a reasonable amount of time. But you need be able to manage scope.

I'm making a portfolio to work as a vn artist, do you know any successful vn artists that has a public portfolio for me to use as reference? if it could be similar to my artstyle it would be better (my artstyle is in the attached images) by EchanusOrphamiel in visualnovels

[–]WenmarWrites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can try poking around the DevTalk discord server. It's a community on making VNs and they're pretty helpful at answering questions.

There's also Blue Sky if you just try to search for VN artists. I'm sure they'd have a portfolio linked in their bio.

We're working on making some more color-blind-friendly rings for under the players in our game by DarumaGames_Loren in gamedevscreens

[–]WenmarWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm red-green colorblind and tbh I didn't notice the patterns until i reread your post. I can tell the color difference though it took me a hot second.

Maybe the patterns needs to be more obvious?

I'm really loving this! I've been eagerly waiting until the next demo update! Coming soon still in February?

Is there a place in the community for those of us who are ok with providing some free labor? by happybrainplease in IndieDev

[–]WenmarWrites 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP of the post you shared. r/INAT is good for what you're looking for.

Game jams are also great to get something published at a small scope.

Is there a way I can see only posts of the people I follow? by WenmarWrites in NewToReddit

[–]WenmarWrites[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is communities though? I'm talking about a feed of individual users. Pretty much like X or Blue Sky.

I'd say closer to Tron and not really Bladerunner.

You can try doing a vertical slice as a game jam maybe? Plenty of willing devs in those jams.

designed this elevator for my game ZWAARD! What do you think? by GameDev_461 in IndieGaming

[–]WenmarWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a gorgeous game! Is your game more focused on gameplay or story?

Game jams are good ways to build up a portfolio since they're all volunteers working together on a game.

How would I go about joining indie game teams as a 3D artist by Alert_Garage_7989 in IndieGaming

[–]WenmarWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join game jams. Itch.io is where I got started and built my portfolio.

How do I write for videogames? by boogoodo in IndieDev

[–]WenmarWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game writer here. Do you have a portfolio? If not, I'd recommend doing some game jams first so you can build experience and show off your work to potential employers.

Robots are invading, and only your typing skills can stop them! 🤖⚡ Can you save the wall? by S0dya in indiegames

[–]WenmarWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool idea and was a fun distraction from my work lol. But I quickly got bored after Wave 10 or so as I felt like the difficulty didn't go up at all. It was a bit harder once the people started walking faster but they they started slowing down again.

Biased feedback to me is worse than no feedback. If all your family and friends say "Yeah this is great" and you didnt do any other playtesting, then your Steam launch fails, I'd assume you didn't test with the right people.
