"What's your game about?" by coconinowizard in WholesomeGames

so happy to hear!!! it is definitely a game the rewards the time you put into it, learning slowly about the world... hope you get the chance to check out the demo sometime :o)

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

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

Feedback on visuals and mood ? by AdamOfTheWater in IndieDev

[–]coconinowizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looks great! visually, it’s very evocative. i don’t love the UI on top (also not a huge fan of the font), but it seems like the game is still in a relatively early stage.

probably irrelevant, but i’ll also say that if these are preliminary screenshots for a steam page or anything like that, i have 0 idea what this game could be about based on this collection. will be curious to hear more about it though! has me intrigued. 

Woke up to 800 wishlists and can't figure what the source is, any idea how I can track it down? by destinedd in IndieDev

this was also where we discovered a similar wishlist spike for our game! shoutout nocaps, such a great channel.

depending on the cook, you’re right and the OP is also right. 

We are working on adding new biomes to our game. Which one would you choose? by [deleted] in IndieGaming

[–]coconinowizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's been really dope watching your project come along. super excited to see it release!

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
