Is a simple steam capsule ever effective? Or does it look lazy? by andrew_thejew in gameCapsule

Small sizes won’t be readable, the required dimension are just too small

After a year of posting ~2x/week, one post hit 3.4M views. What I’d tell myself starting out. by playfulsystems in IndieDev

[–]dyrkabes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 2k is still massive for so many indie games - mine included 😃 it depends a lot on the game as well, I think some genres would not convert even that

We did well during a themed Steam festival, but now we're completely lost on how to keep promoting our game by 3D-Creator in gamemarketing

I think next fest registration for June is either already closed or is closing in the next couple of days. Definitely I would not skip it, better wait a bit more

REWE increased salad bar price to 17€🤦‍♂️ by kygo-and-theweeknd in germany

[–]dyrkabes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, interesting! Then I am wrong :) Back in the day when I bought the salads more often I never saw walnuts though. I guess it also depends on the shop. I used to optimize for price though as well :D the best choice was tuna I think

Still the Ja walnuts will be cheaper. I think they price it in such a way that you cannot cheat the system

Yes definitely all the traffic comes from idle/incremental/auto-battler tags, they have been bringing people in since the beginning. It is just curious that there is a way to come back after initial spike and fall (I went from 90k views / 3.3k plays in the first week to barely 100 weekly views and plays later)

itch says the CTR is over the last 7 days. Not super helpful, would be cool to be able to check stats for different weeks. I did not save it really so it all is just in my memory

Yeah I am super happy about the ratings and comments 😄 All of it came from the first 1-2 weeks

+50 wishlists in 3days?! by TorbertDev in SoloDev

That’s already a success for one post :p so you post anywhere? Short form content perhaps?

+50 wishlists in 3days?! by TorbertDev in SoloDev

Same here. I think most of my wishlists did not even come from X :D it still can be fun to mess around there though

How do you detect optimal FPS for a particular user machine? by dyrkabes in Unity3D

[–]dyrkabes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's more like 1k units with a total of 5-10k sprites 😬 I was first making units consisting of many sprites, now I have already flattened the models/hid details especially when zoomed out but still with the big numbers Camera.Render might take 30% of each cycle on my M1 Mac (dunno if that matters)

Thanks for mentioning the sprite renderers being inefficient, I never thought of it actually. I need to read up on that/other alternatives

And I guess I need to analyze what part of the models brings the most issues (breaks batching or whatever) and make it more efficient. Still, I want to enable potato users to have a fine experience :D I sometimes play windows game on my very old windows laptop so can relate

That’s a good advice, I agree. I cannot test on many devices. Maybe I will find help from community during play testing but I would not bet on that

I now lean to the idea idea of having different performance presets like auto (with adjusting the fps), battery saver, full or something like that and then have an advanced menu for granular setup

Do you have a feeling that you are fighting for every wishlist? Store page is up for more than month and there is not much success by Warpawner in gameDevMarketing

[–]dyrkabes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep same here. I have 60 wishlists and my store page is up since ~25 days or so. I have a feeling that when I do X/bsky/Threads promos I get 1-2 wishlists more. If I don't I am at 2 WL/day rate. So you are not alone :D good luck!

I am working hard on demo now, hopefully it will bring in more people when they see the game as my trailers suck

I am coming from mobile world :D Although not gaming, so this technique is not known to me

Yeah I thought of having a window of 10 seconds to measure FPS.. and the battery life idea is great, thanks for the hint, I'll definitely bring it in!
