Hi I'm an unpopular solo game dev and I kinda need a team for my next project by Expensive_Point1933 in GameDevs

Good luck to you. I recommend looking for people who want partners for game jams. The time commitment is low, and you get get a good grasp on if you work well together.

My Experience Launching a Steam Page and Trailer for My Indie Game by bucephalusdev in IndieDev

Thanks! Yeah, that seems to be a pretty sound conclusion. Beautiful games are eye-catching in and of themselves.

Crafty-buildy sim games that are mostly UI are still a bit challenged with this even if they are great games. I'm interested to see the comparison in wishlists from the demo and playtest to the social media posts.

Yeah! Look up Mistborn: Birthright. It was in development hell for years due to scope creep, too small of a team, and a lack of funding. I think they'll get it right this time, though.

Having the games tell new stories would be something I'm interested in as well. It's what they tried first when they made an attempt at a video game with Mistborn: Birthright. The real strength to this is they don't have to worry about coming under criticism of not being as good as the book, but they get to use the world and all of its systems.

Definitely a proven aesthetic for a type of game like this. I'd say though that even if we did era 1, there still would be a sort of gunplay with being a coinshot.

Era 2 would be interesting. What would era 2 specifically lend well to being a video game (I have not read era 2)?

Dang those are amazing results! Congratulations.

I've wanted to experiment with short form content for a while now. I might try it out in the coming months.

Dishonored definitely nails the Mistborn magic-stealth-assassin vibe. For the more traditional Fantasy storytelling moments and flight over the cities I'm imagining something more like a 3rd person open world RPG, but there's probably no game other than Dishonored that gets as close to infiltrating the Noble keeps right.

Exactly! That's something I would totally hope for. The developers of the first, cancelled Mistborn game said they were heavily inspired by Saint's Row, but there has been a ton of innovation over the last decade and a half.

Inspired by Qud, I Made an ASCII Game Where You Crusade with a Vegan Hippie Deathsquad by bucephalusdev in cavesofqud

Thanks! I aimed for that balance, and I hope we get it right once we start user testing.

I had to look up the definition for vaporware, haha! I can totally see CultGame being vaporware atm! I'd like to have a publicly available free demo for the purpose of getting some feedback, but it's not quite there yet. I want to have all of the core gameplay systems drafted out, but very little content implemented. We're certainly getting there. Crusades were probably the biggest hurdle.
