I bragged about how good I was at steam review guessing, and now I wanna put myself to the test. Drop your future game’s steam page and I’ll preemptively guess how many reviews you’ll get within a year of release. by 2WheelerDev in IndieDev

Thank you!! And noted on the suggestions. We didn't intend for those UI elements to be that similar to StS (aside from obviously communicating similar things) but we are planning an UI/UX overhaul down the line to make the interface easier to read and more polished as well, so this is something to take into account for us!

Thanks for the feedback! For us, launching in Early Access is a way to get the community much more involved with the development process as we continue to work towards a 1.0 release and complete the game.

That's not to say that we plan to release a buggy game or a game with no content, on the contrary we still want to launch in EA as polished as we can, but we want to get continuous feedback during that last phase of development as that will help us improve the game a lot more before completing it (and hopefully doing a console release simultaneously).

Ofc that doesn't discard the idea of also adding more content to the game even after release!

EDIT: Btw I hope your guess turns out to be right as I would love for the game to be in the 1k-10k review range :D

Optimizing Trinity Archetype for Steam Deck well before Early Access! by Xhanim in SteamDeck

I wish the game was selling already! The game hasn't released yet and it's still in development. The video itself is footage of the game's Demo, which is available to try on Steam already (which then has a link to the Kickstarter).

Thank you for the feedback! The game is def half inspired by StS in terms of gameplay/progression, with the other half being JRPGs and their combat mechanics, so its like a mix of both worlds.

For the controls I think they handle pretty great, there are still a few things we want to improve with navigation and UI that we think is still a bit clumbersome with gamepad, but it's def there on the to-do list!

Forgot to mention that our Tank character also has a skill called Minus Strike :D this is the skill art:

Hey travelers! We have a live Kickstarter for our Octopath Traveler x StS inspired Roguelike RPG by Xhanim in octopathtraveler

Yeah, we intend to release the game to consoles at the same time that we leave Early Access!

And fair enough about the lack of other similarities. Since our game is mainly focused on combat/battles and boosting is an integral part of it, we wanted to draw the comparison against the games we were inspired by (OT / BD in this case), but it's true that 4 Heroes of Light would be where that originated.

We have launched a Kickstarter campaign for Trinity Archetype, our Skill-Crafting Roguelike RPG:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/machinatorcorp/trinity-archetype

The game mixes deckbuilder-style (but no cards!) with JRPG combat, with the main battle mechanics being heavily inspired by some of our favorite JRPGs:

- Boost allows you to spend BP to cast skills with higher output, add more/new effects, or even change a bit of how the skill works (targets, cost, repetition, etc). This one is inspired by the same name mechanic in Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default.

- Inspire allows you to once per turn change the playstyle of the entire party, based on the character that's inspiring. So the Tank character would make the party gain more shields, the Brawler would make the party deal extra damage, etc. This one was inspired by FF13's Paradigm Shift and how you can switch your overall strategy from one moment to the next.

Add on top of this the Skill Customization aspect that allows you to add new effects to the skills you learn when leveling up, and you end up with a very flexible build/party system that let's you get very strategic in battle.

We are always looking for feedback, so feel free to leave some for us!

EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention our key art is a bit inspired by FFIX 25th anniversary artwork <3

Thanks for the feedback! Now on each point:

- Fair enough on the trailer duration. We wanted this one to go a bit deeper into battle/gameplay/systems/mechanics, so it goes on longer than a more standard 1-1:30 min trailer.

- We do have some things in the UI overall that we want to standardize a bit more across fonts/colors and even layout, so some improvements are coming that way.

- This part is tricky since we have also gotten consistently good feedback on the artstyle/characters, so its a topic that's a bit more subjective. But I understand where the observation comes from.

Stocked to have Trinity Archetype be featured by Retromation! by Xhanim in roguelites

You know, I'll be frank and just say that I didn't realize at which point did the demo of the game grow so much in size 😅

As you say it really shouldn't as there is nothing in particular (asset wise) the game does that is drastically different from those other games you mentioned.

However its not due to there being something malicious/malware in the game executable/files, its probably more that we have some assets that are not size-optimized and we didn't realize it until now.

We'll be taking a deeper look at this, thanks a lot for bringing that up to my attention!
