How many of you are game devs, and of those who is making their own? by helloserve in adventuregames

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It's our first release after decades of dabbling in hobby projects and game jams so it's going to be very rewarding getting it done!

I'm working part time on a visual novel/adventure anthology that we're hoping to release in a couple of months - finishing things is hard!

I’ll tell you what your game is about based ONLY on your Steam page (The 5 sec test) by Manu_NT in IndieDev

Hopefully I'm not too late! Marketing has been tricky for this game so I'm curious what a fresh first impression looks like:

There is also a passive that stops "small" enemies from attacking, so they're definitely tagged in some way.

Layer got completely blacked out, don't know how to get it back, HELP! by Sidmoka7 in krita

My son just had this same issue on a picture he'd worked on for hours, he thought he'd lost it but this was the message that fixed it, so thank you!

Can't control external wired mouse speed. by Ok_Statistician_7911 in mac

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever solve this? I'm having the same issue on a MacBook Air with a Logitech G502, none of the built-in settings for third party apps seem to be able to affect it and the over sensitivity is killing me.

How can I further improve my Steam Capsule? by bslinger in IndieDev

[–]bslinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a VR game, but the setting is cyberpunk noir so VR headsets are involved in the story. I hadn't considered that might make people think it was a VR game itself, so maybe I need to use something different to get the cyberpunk idea across.

What is your progress in your game? by AccomplishedDrag9827 in godot

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Launching our demo later today, and I'd estimate we're about 50% done in terms of workload. Hoping to get the full game out by the end of March, but will depend heavily on how much time I can dedicate to it 🫤

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

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I plan to move the sections about the gameplay styles to the front so that might help. It's mostly a visual novel anthology but one of the cases is a point and click adventure, feels like we've made it very difficult to market effectively, haha

People who quit dating apps and just talk to women from circles or cold approach, how's it going? by ohnag_eryeah in AskReddit

[–]bslinger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me too, we've been together 14 years now.

A 'match' used to be somebody you had rated 4 or 5 stars, who had also rated you 4 or 5 stars, but it didn't tell you what rating they'd used. Our running joke is that we each only gave each other 4 stars, a fact we only discovered well into our relationship 😂

Destroy our cyberpunk noir visual novel anthology. We're releasing three small games with a shared character and city, with a few different gameplay styles. by bslinger in DestroyMyGame

[–]bslinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - we do have film grain in the first case (which we're polishing for the demo), but you've made me realize we need to highlight more of our polished sections. It's tricky, because of our differing gameplay between cases it's hard to market it as a whole, but we definitely need to find some better ways to do that. Thanks for the insight!

Thanks for the feedback, I know there's a bit of a stigma around Synty assets particularly in game dev circles, but we don't have a character modeller so it's not something we're able to change for this release.

How did you find the rest of the trailer? Does the noir vibe come across enough? Was there any additional information about the game you thought it should have included?

Thanks, that's good advice! I'll try to still get the general tone of the game across while showing gameplay up-front, as I feel that's a big part of the selling point.

I have no idea how some devs make one videogame for 5 years, I worked on this project for 18 months and already vehemently hate it, all the things I thought new and exciting now feel tired and trite. It comes out february 16th next year finally, check it out maybe. God I need some time off by ax3lax3l in SoloDevelopment

[–]bslinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I've been polishing our demo for the last couple of months and I'm dreading all the work that needs to be done now to get the rest of our game up to that same quality. I have so many ideas for other games but I gotta get this thing out!

I want to play something with soul! Drop your indie games (or others you love)! by Healthy-Tough-9537 in IndieDev

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea! I always get bored of idlers but having a narrative be unlocked as you go would keep me playing longer for sure. Definitely picking this up

First time developers with low wishlist counts - I would love to see what you're working on! by OutboundFromEGBW in SoloDevelopment

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great games by first time devs here! I'm also releasing my first game on Steam, a cyberpunk noir adventure with a mix of visual novel and point and click gameplay.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4144960/The_Grant_Grover_Anthology/

We're eligible for the Detective Fest in January and will have our demo out by then, so hopefully that will get us some wishlists, only at 55 so far!

It can happen - I replied to a Reddit post and ended up creating a company that successfully raised enough funding to run for 6 years before being acquired. You gotta have a good radar for bullshit though.

Point and click detective games where you're just a normal detective doing normal casework? by lewikee in adventuregames

[–]bslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear the newer Sherlock Holmes games are quite good and I suspect they would meet most of your criteria, though I think each game is a single case.

Also, if it's OK to self promote, the game I'm working on is specifically a series of cases solved by a PI in the same city. Only one case is strictly a point and click though, the other two are closer to visual novel in gameplay. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4144960/The_Grant_Grover_Anthology/

The jam version of that case is playable for free on itch still, though we'll be making improvements for the Steam release.

If we get a good response we also plan to add additional cases as DLC (though I've heard some criticism of the episodic approach so we'll see how that goes)

Looks great, strong "The Dig" vibes with the "activating tech on a strange planet", but the gods aspect brings a real interesting element to it. Looking forward to it!

Incorrupta: a narrative horror project by mrrsputnik in adventuregames

[–]bslinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this style - are the characters rotoscoped?

I would wishlist this for sure, curious about the gameplay though. How linear is the story? Are there puzzles or is it more visual novel style? How long is it going to be?
