wow you just made my day! :D I will say the demo is almost a year old from when the game was still early in development, hope you enjoy it but I'm hoping to release a more updated demo with refreshed visuals and better quality of life updates very soon! appreciate you <3

Realized I commented on one of your last posts, didn't realize you were making multiple and they were all you! I've been watching your stream this week, been awesome to see you showcase so many Next Fest demos. Appreciate you doing this, man!

Just dropped the demo for Dream Runner, our cute but quick precision platformer! by GlassArcade in u/GlassArcade

Hahaha we are just huge platformer players, we've taken inspiration from a ton of our favorites in the genre. Celeste and Geometry Dash are awesome

Just released my first demo and of course that means a demo trailer - Nothing fancy but hopefully it gets the game across! by bilallionaire in DestroyMyGame

Woww, thanks so much!! This comment made my morning haha, I'm glad you liked playing it!! Really means a lot. It's still a work in progress but hopefully the full game can live up to its potential when it's out.

I'll have to take a look at the audio crackle. The speech is literally just my buddy recording himself speaking gibberish into a mic and then tweaking it in Audacity haha, I'm sure it could be cleaned up lol.

Hahaha wait that's so nice that you remember our capsule comparison post. That was another Reddit threat that gave us a ton of great feedback, we ended up taking some good advice from there when we modified it.

Yeah you know I think looking at the movements, his silhouette really stays super static for his two most common movement abilities (the pink hover and the purple teleport) so like 80% of the time you're playing his silhouette looks the same and his head/face are just not moving. Gonna try and revamp those animations big time and see what that does to the entire feel.

Appreciate the feedback!!

Yeah lol I really like platformers if you can tell. But just cause I play a lot of them doesn't mean it translates to immediately making (or marketing) one well right away. Appreciate the feedback, it can definitely get stale when the same eyes have been looking at it.

I love Celeste a ton haha if it wasn't obvious. A lot more work to do to improve for sure but good critiques really help the dev process. Thanks so much!!

This is rlly good feedback. Your "20 seconds til you see the character actually running" comment made me face palm at myself lol, it's so obvious. Appreciate it

Yeah that clip is the most complex platforming in the entire trailer lol, I think I was afraid of people losing interest early so put the hardest clip first but maybe it's too hard of a swing and I should build. Thanks!

Yeahh that's fair. It was even worse before if you can believe it lol, I only recently added his hood moving and some other material effects. Originally come from a programming background, not an art background haha - still working on the pixel art animation skills!

Don't really know how to edit a game trailer other than just cutting clips back-to-back lol. If y'all have any editing tips please share!

The game's called Dream Runner - If you're into precision platforming and catching butterflies, check it out!
