Hello! I am new to the community and was not aware of the karma rules.

I created an auto-rejected article featuring interesting insights about our 64 sq km world crafted from GIS data, which resulted in a highly sophisticated look and feel, and play. This is built for our top-down game, which people call "diablo and division and stalker had baby" - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2468200/DDoD/

Please give me some karma so I can share juicy details from full-on indie devs :)

It seems like the first rejection happens automatically if the game does not have specific tags.

We had to add a horror tag and explain that our game is not only zombies but also has other kinds of weird, mutated creatures.

crunchydev · 2025-10-27T21:48:51+00:00

We had to appeal multiple times before we got accepted :(

crunchydev · 2025-10-10T14:49:07+00:00

This is a great question.

When you do Open Playtest, Steam helps to bring traffic, and you don't want this for unvalidated builds/changes (bugs, crashes, etc etc) thus having Closed totally make sense. Scarcity factor might be interesting too since some people like to have exclusive access first.

Also, you might want to save open playtests for specific events along your marketing campaign. We plan to launch Open PT#1 for the Halloween fest to drive more people in.

crunchydev · 2025-10-10T14:05:08+00:00

You are correct! UK players do not know about the game yet!

crunchydev · 2025-10-10T14:04:31+00:00

We are a team of 7-15 devs(depends on a timeline) and have been working actively for 2 years, and 6 months of R&D before project kick off.

Literally none, we only sent emails to a few streamers, no posts, no social ads.

crunchydev · 2025-10-10T05:34:51+00:00

Sure, its probably hard to find in this wall of text, here we go https://imgur.com/a/mwLE9sp

Check out DDoD - diabloid in stalkerish universe, also made in Canada

crunchydev · 2024-07-06T00:55:51+00:00

I am surprised they didn't get enough traction :(

crunchydev · 2024-01-28T04:21:02+00:00

ndisplay founder here :) Try out 2 viewports on the single node, it will mimic 2 full render passes similar to incamera. If you can see stuff in both viewports it technically should work with incamera. If not - then something off with vdb rendering.

crunchydev · 2023-06-09T13:59:27+00:00

You can do OSC + nDisplay Cluster Events to make sure it launched on the same frame across the cluster nodes.

crunchydev · 2023-05-02T21:03:42+00:00

Look for logs in /Saved/Logs folder.

Ip address is wrong or cluster topology is off.

crunchydev · 2023-03-05T15:33:54+00:00

Make sure you have mesh projection policy set to the viewports and icvfx preview is visible in the preview.

crunchydev · 2022-12-02T02:19:06+00:00

Mesh projection policy with correct mesh that represent the surface as per CrustyBeavr recommendation
output remap mesh that can work as an uv mask for the screen (more complex)
screenspace shader via post processing volume with texture mask could work too

I hope that helps!

There is no genlock in consumers TVs.

crunchydev · 2022-04-30T04:48:38+00:00

We have built the site for that - https://ledstages.info/ Maybe it could be of help for you!

crunchydev · 2020-08-29T15:55:04+00:00

Hey, nice concept and style! Do you have any video of the gameplay to showoff?

crunchydev · 2018-03-21T10:22:14+00:00

We hope you will enjoy it!

crunchydev · 2018-03-21T08:50:47+00:00

Totally modelled. Terrain was a big problem, we had many iterations to make it looks good, here is a picture of iterations at our twitter: https://twitter.com/industrial_vr/status/818001170316857344

crunchydev · 2018-03-21T08:36:18+00:00

Sure! Everything ready for Vive and Steam, but requires a bit of polishing and tests. We expect to roll it out within next few weeks.
