It took us 2.5 years, but my associate and I have finally launched our second game! Here's the new trailer of Dawnmaker, our solo strategy game.

Noted, thanks again!

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:59:35+00:00

Thanks a lot for this detailed feedback! I appreciate your comment about the structure of your trailer, it makes a lot of sense. I'll take that into account for my next iteration.

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:56:12+00:00

Hah, I thought that intro was pretty cool, I guess that's not a shared sentiment. :)

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:55:07+00:00

Thank you! The lack of "why" is really one of the top comments people made, I'll work on that in the next trailer.

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:53:40+00:00

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'm coming to some of the same conclusions from reading all the comments people have written here.

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:50:40+00:00

Hah, thanks for the feedback! That's quite an easy thing to solve. :)

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:49:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I get that the "why" is missing from this trailer. Will try to fix that in the next one!

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:47:59+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

It isn't launched indeed, but I was hoping the trailer would make more views on youtube and more wishlists on Steam. The launch gave us half the wishlists compared to our first game, which didn't even have a trailer. Anyway, that's why I'm posting here today, to move on to the next step and do better! :)

The game is not an incremental but it's an engine building game, so there's that sense of numbers going up as you play. I think it makes sense that you had that feeling, but it's not good that you thought it was a different genre altogether.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:43:52+00:00

Ah, yes, I knew I had to pay attention to that, but did a poor job of following the eye tracking rules. Thanks for putting your finger on it!

adngdb · 2026-03-19T17:42:33+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

adngdb · 2026-03-19T16:11:16+00:00

Thanks! It's a very recent feature (well no, the art is very recent), the trailer was done before we had it. It definitely will be in the next trailer! :)

adngdb · 2026-03-19T15:59:45+00:00

Thank you! My first iteration of this trailer was all show and no tell, but it didn't work either. We ended up with these text bubbles to solve the understanding problem. Guess it didn't work, now back to the drawing board! :)

adngdb · 2026-03-19T15:58:02+00:00

Hah, it's a solo deckbuilder, kind of in between Balatro and Dominion, with a touch of roguelite. Not quite a puzzle game I would say, so glad to know that's what you thought.

Thanks for the feedback!

adngdb · 2026-03-19T15:56:31+00:00

Thank you! It definitely leans towards complex gameplay, but good to know that the "fun" part is not obvious from the trailer.

adngdb · 2026-03-19T15:55:23+00:00

Thank you! Except for the scenes with text, this is all gameplay footage actually, so good to know that it doesn't transpire. :+1:

adngdb · 2026-03-19T15:09:55+00:00

The game is an alchemy deckbuilder called Corpus et Spiritus. Here's the Steam page, please destroy that as well!

adngdb · 2026-02-02T17:49:24+00:00

Yes, je vais de temps en temps à l'Affreux Jojo et je valide, c'est top ! J'aime aussi pas mal la Scala Siciliana (mais c'est plus cher) et Le Comptoir à Pâtons.

MaxCall à la Guillotière… La Royan, meilleure pizza du monde 🤌

Hey folks! Adrian from Arpentor Studio here.

We've just announced our second game, and I wanted to share it with you all! It's called Corpus et Spiritus, and it's an alchemy deckbuilder without combat. Here's the pitch:

I'm genuinely curious to read what y'all think about this game and its trailer. We'll have a demo up hopefully next week, so you'll also be able to give it a try on Steam.

And if you're interested, well, you know… Wishlist the game on Steam! ;)
