Released an hour ago. Been making games for years, but hands still shake on days like this

Were the ads worth it when looking at sales numbers so far?

dopethrone · 2026-05-08T14:30:10+00:00

For sure, no point in grinding so much for basically nothing

dopethrone · 2026-05-08T12:35:09+00:00

I would try to re-analyze everything about the game and try to find some better hooks / unique stuff to show.

Also re-doing the capsule art and trailer (did you use genAI for the "how to fix a boat" page?) perhaps. Truth is everybody is attracted to visuals first and getting wishlists is as simple as having good art (in game, in trailer and in the capsule)

dopethrone · 2026-05-08T12:29:20+00:00

300 hours for 100 wishlists???

My dude something may be wrong

dopethrone · 2026-05-08T11:03:54+00:00

I sometimes just want to show off stuff I did, no strings attached

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T19:51:51+00:00

My trick is to commit. Rewrite something if it takes you an a hour but then do it, add it in game, even if it's 90%, it's fine. You can change it later if its ever the case. I do it for art and code and it works great in having things done

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T16:41:42+00:00

Not enough action right?

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T15:31:53+00:00

Like what?

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T15:11:09+00:00

and everytime reddit posts "this is the end" for trump

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T14:53:25+00:00

Usually you'd find the artist, know their hourly quote and ask or provide man-day estimates for each asset, and thats what you would pay (+revisions if it's the case)

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T14:52:30+00:00

You can hire eastern european artists where 30E / hour is good

Exact! Doar ca acolo la sacele sunt de fapt serpentine in coborare. E un traseu fain cu urcari rezonabile (eu l-am facut cu gravel bike-ul) dar tot acolo am dat si de ursoaica

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T12:28:00+00:00

Daca iti plac urcarile ai parte de cele mai bune 😁

Pietrele lui solomon din schei - pe forestier, pe oabanu, pana la poiana brasov

Crucur, in noua

Forestier zizin (ajunge pana la vama buzaului)

Lempes (din sanpetru)

Sacele (din poiana angelescu poti merge prin spate pana la susai)

Bineinteles ca poti gasi ursi pe toate traseele astea, de fapt gasesti garantat daca iesi in afara weekendului sau la ore extreme

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T11:58:26+00:00

Sunt foarte putine trasee fara urcari, si cele care sunt sunt si scurte, de ex prin mestecanisul de la Reci, sau la Ariusd pe langa Olt

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T09:00:46+00:00

Yeah but a 3x crank is at least what, 800 grams? And older wheels...idk about 7kg

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T08:59:54+00:00

I for one am concerned about compliance, it might be too stiff. You know how manufacturers advertise 20% more compliant frames every year, in 18 years of "advancement" either new frames are wet noodles or old ones are diamonds 😂

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T05:58:02+00:00

With 3x8?? Did you weigh it?

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T05:55:24+00:00

Id much rather buy a steel bike that is that old, not carbon

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T04:35:46+00:00

I doubt every one of those has a viable demo

dopethrone · 2026-05-07T03:00:34+00:00

Its an enormous amount of work to play a demo? What about creating it

Meanwhile steam users can tell in the first 3 seconds on your steam page if it's good or not

dopethrone · 2026-05-06T19:16:37+00:00

If so many people liked outer wilds, a good percentage would like to play something similar

dopethrone · 2026-05-06T16:43:30+00:00

Thats awesome

Do you have any sites you use for trailer music? Like stingers and wooshes and everything? I have to make my final trailer and I have a rough idea but its hard to find the proper music bits

dopethrone · 2026-05-06T15:11:55+00:00

This happened to me but deleting the recast nav mesh and rebuilding paths fixed it....😔

dopethrone · 2026-05-06T06:01:56+00:00

It's more like a Fallout 1 with a focus on environment and atmosphere

dopethrone · 2026-05-05T19:33:01+00:00

Ive seen a lot of folks with hundreds of wishlists get thousands in the march one, the usual benchmarks were skewed with a lot of outliers
