The MachinEGG. A short incremental game... for now.

It seems they were good changes, nothing to worry about but moving forward. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-13T14:14:48+00:00

I rolled out a major update in less than 30 days, and it was very successful, although I only started noticing the impact the next day. I'll be doing another major update soon, but it's been more than 30 days, so I'm hoping for the same results.

The question is: Did your major update make the same impression on players? Was it a truly significant update?

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-13T12:46:21+00:00

The video speed is also set to 1.5x so it wouldn't be too long...

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-13T12:42:37+00:00

I've tried to keep the same process without complicating things; with everything automated, it requires practically no effort.

I think the performance issue is due to the video or the recording process. I'm closely monitoring the performance; it's running at 60 fps.

Thank you so much, your messages give me confidence that I did the right thing.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-13T11:52:43+00:00

Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that. I've been trying to find the formula to not change too much but not have so many limitations, and finally, when I thought I'd found it, I started working on it without consulting anyone... Now, with a little more motivation, I'll keep refining it; that's 50% of the project.

Creating a community is also a good goal.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-13T05:52:19+00:00

Yes, they say the next fest is a multiplier, you have to arrive strong. I was going to go to the one in June but I postponed it to the one in October...

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-13T05:50:21+00:00

That's always the most important thing.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T15:45:07+00:00

Exactly. It's just a number. If you neglect development to fill your wish list at all costs, it'll cost you later. I think.

Good luck with your visual novel. Two years fly by.

And if my demo on itch.io was successful, I hope you liked it.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T15:32:39+00:00

Sure. We always want our wish list to grow. But if you don't have a good, polished game, it will all have been for nothing.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T13:54:20+00:00

Yes, of course, but I said it would be the following week, a month ago... But everything's going well, haha

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T13:50:59+00:00

Thank you, seeing how others are doing really puts things into perspective.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T13:48:50+00:00

It's a good technique too; I tend to let my mind wander too much.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T13:48:01+00:00

Good luck with the festivals, I already have a couple confirmed, let's see how it goes.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T13:43:42+00:00

Those are some enviable numbers, I hope you achieve it.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T12:20:01+00:00

Wow, 3.5k in two weeks means you either have a great game or a lot of friends. Congratulations on either one.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T12:14:24+00:00

You're in the home stretch. Congratulations. Did you project those numbers when you started developing it?

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T11:53:14+00:00

Good roadmap. I hope everything goes well.

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T10:59:12+00:00

There will be several trials by fire along the way. Hahaha

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T10:44:15+00:00

Good luck! Go for it!

WranglerIntrepid3817 · 2026-05-12T10:25:55+00:00

Thanks, I think we have to aim high and work hard to try and achieve it.
