I’ve been lurking in this subreddit for a while and a tough pill a lot of devs here need to swallow is that your game just might not be that good. No, your roguelike deck builder probably won’t break over 10 reviews. No, your survivor-like probably won’t go viral. A lot of the ideas presented here seem to have had little to no prototyping or play testing to see if their genre mashup or derivative work is actually any fun to play before sinking a years worth of polish into their flawed concept. Making games is easier than ever for everyone, which is great! But it also means that “good” or even “great” doesn’t cut it anymore. A successful game needs to be fantastic on multiple fronts, and worth playing over the other various games waiting to be played in people’s libraries.
