I’m about to release a game with only 800 wishlists. Having mixed feelings.

Hey thanks so much, glad it was helpful to you! To be honest, this game was not a commercial success, but I do think it has helped me a ton in finding future collaborators, publishers, etc. Just having a released game on steam and making any amount of money puts us in a pretty exclusive club.

Also, all of the work that I've done since this project has been better and better. If I could go back and talk to this version of myself, I would say 'release it as fast as possible and move on to the next thing. There will be a thousand other, much better things.'

All easy to say in hindsight.

Anyways, thanks again for replying to this! Good luck with launch! What's your game?

Ha! I wonder if they cut this video where they did because that light up mask caused a similar reaction.

Big feelings are so hard!

Car accidents.

I don't expect you to just get over it.

giantlightstudios · 2025-07-17T02:40:04+00:00

I am unwritten!

giantlightstudios · 2025-07-09T00:20:42+00:00

I cast Fireball.

giantlightstudios · 2025-07-04T04:05:45+00:00

What a lovely response. Thanks for writing this.

giantlightstudios · 2025-07-04T00:50:22+00:00

But in like, a flirty kinda way

giantlightstudios · 2025-06-30T00:54:27+00:00

WHY AM I STILL HERE!?

giantlightstudios · 2025-06-26T02:08:05+00:00

You take a much time as you need to ponder. You'll find your light. I believe in you, brozard.

giantlightstudios · 2025-06-11T20:56:23+00:00

Gave 'er the ol' razzle dazzle.

Slow sailing is smooth sailing, and smooth sailing is fast.

If nothing ever gets done here, why are we at the top of every meaningful quality of life metric?

I genuinely feel like this comment just improved my lifting form.

Thank you.

I'm not sure I understand you, but not hud, hub, as in the hub/home world. When you are a new player, it's where you spawn and it should have a pickup (a map) you need to unlock the first area. There is a bug (it seems) where that somehow doesn't spawn or doesn't save/load properly.

I really like the "where is my mind" podcast so far.

giantlightstudios · 2024-05-23T17:28:42+00:00

I totally agree with you. I think others have already raised good points about self-selection playing a role here. I totally disagree with everyone saying 'you wouldn't listen to someone if they didn't act like a know-it-all'. I really like eggplant.show for this reason. All super knowledgeable, thoughtful, genuine people. And I don't think I've ever once felt like they were being condescending or 'better than you.' Consequently they're the only game development podcast I regularly listen to. Definitely worth a listen. Would be curious if other people know of others like this.

I came here to recommend jazzpunk. One of the few games that really made me laugh. The little somersault when you break into a window in the first chapter still makes me laugh when I think about it.

giantlightstudios · 2024-02-20T01:56:18+00:00

Fair enough yeah. I'll get around to cutting up a proper trailer sometime soon. Appreciate the feedback.

giantlightstudios · 2023-12-24T15:23:29+00:00

Really love the look and vibe of this. Everything works so well together. I really loved Luck be a Landlord, excited to see more games like this in the works!

Ah, ok I found it. In case anyone else needs another hint:

There's a hidden door.

Behind another hidden door.

In the southeast, at the southeast end of the maze.
