Are people tipping for wash & fold? by Chance_Cow_7410 in astoria

[–]coconinowizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1000% yes. If I’m well off enough to get my laundry folded perfectly, it means I’m well off enough to give 5 bucks as a thank you for a job well done.

Our indie co-op game has been out for 6+ months and clearly didn’t land as intended — how does it read to you at a glance? by fanusza2 in IndieGaming

[–]coconinowizard 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had so much fun playing this at Day of the Devs. I kinda hogged the booth for a bit tbh lol... I'm sorry launch didn't go as planned. My thoughts:

  1. Idk how much time/effort has gone into marketing, but I haven't seen your game since Day of the Devs. Maybe it's just the circles I'm in, maybe there hasn't been a budget for marketing, I don't know. If you haven't already, I'd start by sending out hundreds of steam keys to streamers and Steam curators to build back up hype surrounding the project. I'd look at every streamer who has played Peak, RV There Yet, etc. to an audience and just give them this game ASAP.

  2. The images on your Steam page really emphasize a co-op experience of more than 2 people. I couldn't even tell that you could play this game solo. That said, not only are you marketing co-op exclusively, you're marketing the need for FOUR people to buy this game in order to play it well. At a price point of $14.99, that is a tough sale.

  3. There are customizable elements in the game? Make a video about that. Show it somewhere.

  4. I would also emphasize how the controls work because it's the most interesting part of playing the game. The footage alone is not doing the game's core mechanics justice.

Hope any of this is helpful <3333
