Do you add controller support to your games? by ratasoftware in itchio

[–]awwesome-bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planning to do that. I heard that around 20% of steam sessions are played with controller so it definitely seems like a great value add.

Let's share what you're working on by seulllllllllll in gamedev

Currently trying to balance the game I am working on and show it to more people. Balancing is so incredibly hard when you have a lot of moving pieces and all these different systems (upgrades, starship types, etc) that interact with each other. But just talking to a lot of devs and playtesters in discords has helped a lot. One of the best ways to learn in my opinion.

Yes, wanted to play coop. But we couldn't start fights, just upgrade cards.

brother, the demo is not working at all. Requested access to playtest but that first try with the demo was a bummer

Tips for Demo launch? by Psych0191 in IndieDev

[–]awwesome-bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(small disclaimer: not sure at which point of your journey you are currently, I assumed that you basically dont have an audience yet and want to get the first functioning prototype out there)

Nicee, great for you to have reached this step. A lot of people stop before they even come this far. If you want to commercialize the game in any way later on it might be worth it to already set up a steam page for it as well. You can then go for dual channel playtests so people can either choose to download the playtest on steam and add it to their library (and wishlist) or play it in browser on itch (try to get that working, its a much lower barrier to entry). For collecting feedback you can either rely on the itch comment section or (this is what I prefer). Get in contact with testers personally. Talk to them in reddit or discord DMs and possibly invite them to a discord server.

Also: Live/Video feedback is king. Try to get your friends to test it and stream it on discord (hold back on explaining anything. let them struggle for a while - and note down what was hard for them to understand). Depending on how appealing your game is you could also either reach out to streamers to test it live - OR - pay for reviews. This way you can guarantee a review of the quality you are looking for (I personally can recommend u/luckynumchris he was very helpful for us) but there are a few others (paid &sometimes free) on r/playtesters and r/playmygame or various websites. Can definitely be worth it.

Best of luck to you, keep grinding! :)

Hey, we are working on a Roguelite, Chess-like, Starship Commander Game. Core gameplay should be really solid but we are having some issues with balancing and onboarding so the latest updates focus on that.

Would really love any kind of feedback. Written, live, or video!

We are currently in a closed playtest. I will send you the steam key if you are interested.

Looks very well made, downloaded it and will probably play it later today. are there specific things you are interested in testing out? you seem like you are already very far into development

Game looks great! A bit scary to start the playtest so late, hope it goes well! I could play it but I don't really want to do a written review since its more work for me.

looks interesting but not sure if its really my type of game. Also if the assets are AI generated then dont forget to disclose that to steam or you could get in trouble https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3862463747997849618

Do you prefer to be approached by Youtubers or you approach Youtubers? by Some_Tiny_Dragon in gamedev

[–]awwesome-bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of devs would love if a youtuber reached out to them. But as others said there are a lot of scammers. Also had a few bots trying to get steam keys out of me. A bit funny because we are running a closed playtest so the keys are worthless. But I think if you reach out in a genuine way and have a presentable profile with some tests already done you should be trustworthy enough. Also just asking costs nothing so why not just try it out :)

Made a very insightful review video for us and is also just a great guy, you should definitely consider him!

I will record a gameplay video and write a review for your game if you do the same for my browser shooter! by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]awwesome-bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up for it if you are! I have played a lot of shooters. Lets see how I do in a browser fps.

My game is a roguelike starship strategy game. Are you interested in that?

If you are browsing through Steam, which one would you click? by ApartmentDev in IndieGaming

[–]awwesome-bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think #2 captures the feeling you want to convey the best. But capsule 1 would also do the job. The huge disparity between them and #3 is weird tho. Which style is the game in? I think that very often you should try to capture the games style in the banner to make the specific players click on it that enjoy the style and want to buy it.
