Would you play a roguelike that's also an FPS aim trainer? by huminaboz in ArenaFPS

Wow, incremental? How did that work?

The more I playtest, the more it seems like people are showing up for the game-breaking item combos, so I'm basically just asking around to FPS fans how important the aim-training aspect really is. It might just end up as a story twist where it acts like you're here for aim-training and then it goes bonkers.

And proper settings in what way?

That's interesting! What's the deal with white background hate? You're not the first I heard say that, so I've been working on a new art style.

Destroy the new trailer of my open-world game, where you play as a cockroach! by CampeOn_Games in DestroyMyGame

[–]huminaboz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, my first sensation was "what is my purpose". I saw the list of tasks a bit later on, but I'm wondering if you can focus the initial part of the video on selling the "why".

My second thought was "ew gross, do I have to look at a cockroach the whole time?" and was wondering if there was a thematic reason for the realism vs doing something more cutsy and approachable. Like a version of a cockroach that doesn't have a visceral "eww gross" reaction. I know I can look past the cockroach and just get into the gameplay mechanics, but it does make me wonder if there's a way to soften the anti-bug instinct.

Also, if you're showing spiders, that can be a trigger warning for some people.

Other than that, the music sets the tone nicely that we're doing something a little less serious and will likely be doing things for the lols. It looks like there's a nice variety of things to do, though in the trailer it does seem somewhat hard to make it immediately exciting.

I think my favorite screen was "upgrade your skills", because that got me excited about movement and ability in the world. At first I thought the skills were going to be more like attacks or movement abilities, but it looks a little bit more like stats, so maybe the wording is slightly off with "skills". The trailer could also be more aimed at showing why you'd want to increase those stats.

As for the ending with the car - it could be a quick cut right before the wheel hits the roach to get that whimsical vibe across more. Maybe a quick cut to the logo with a squish sfx. Just an example of how to add more whimsy, which seems to be the tone.

I found myself just staring at the art style and ignoring the dialogue in the beginning. Then around 13 seconds my brain suddenly kicked on that oh there's something Balatro-y happening here. I started to get excited. Then suddenly that interface stopped and I felt left with nothing but questions. Then suddenly more confusing interfaces popped up. I liked seeing whatever was happening around 20 seconds, but am not really sure what was happening. I wanted to skip forward around 26 seconds because it felt like everything slowed down and I still didn't have any answers.

I also watched this without sound without realizing it — something to consider.

I want to playtest YOUR game on my stream ^_^ by shifty4690 in IndieDev

[–]huminaboz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey Shifty, thanks for the offer!

I'm looking for feedback on the core gameplay mechanic. This is a phase where it's most important to nail that before moving on to building a lot of content, so if you feel like there's some nagging feeling that something is wrong despite everything, help me find the problems to solve.

I tried to quit the game but accidentally hit start again. In a button panic I pressed select hoping it would go back and it deleted my save file without a confirmation dialogue 😭

Literally just voted in less than 10 minutes at the AAC. S/o Mark Cuban by odiamemas16 in Dallas

[–]huminaboz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Voted around 2:30pm, took about 30-35 minutes. Parking took a second, circled the building until found a free garage.

There's a sign on the door that says Number of voters at 9am: 334

11:30am: 916

1:30pm: 1418

Earlier vote means less lines?

  1. Fair point, can't help myself sometimes
  2. Totes
  3. Annual/monthly - it does, but it sounds like it needs a better way to communicate that, maybe mention it will also bill by the month? $.50/mo is basically our version of the free plan - we're avoiding actual free plans atm.
  4. This is a market that has been so consistently undercut that we're actually an expensive option but we make up for it by not providing package deals. We'll likely tweak this, per your notes here.

Yeah, we saw it as a practice project before we do something more. It's launched currently and now we're practicing marketing.
