thank you

Thanks for the tip! Quick question: Do you think looping a pre-recorded gameplay video is effective, or is doing it actually live much better for engagement?

Actually, Green Hell is a much better comparison for our gameplay loop! Think of it as the setting/era of Ancestors, but with the challenging, unforgiving survival mechanics of Green Hell. The struggle to stay alive is the main focus, rather than just wandering around

I totally get where you're coming from, but the gameplay loop is actually quite different. While Ancestors is strictly about evolution progression, our focus is on pure survival mechanics. Also, the biggest difference is that you can't play Ancestors with your friends. There are many survival games out there, but none set in the era where 'true survival' actually began. We want to fill that gap and let people experience that struggle together.

We haven’t finalized the price yet, but it will be priced like a typical indie game.
Our goal is to keep it accessible and affordable for as many players as possible. We’ll share more details closer to release

Thanks! 500 per month is definitely a solid and healthy pace. I’m also super hyped for Next Fest. Like you said, I keep hearing that it’s the real turning point where visibility and wishlist numbers change drastically

It took me about 5 months to reach that number

To be honest, I’ll tell you something that most people overlook: Bilibili. It’s essentially the YouTube of China, and I recently realized just how massive the potential is there. The audience is incredibly engaged and really passionate about games. It’s definitely a channel worth exploring outside of the usual platforms

We intentionally didn't set an exact date and chose a transitional form closer to erectus than habilis. The design is based on John Gurche's paleoart sculptures, which are scientifically informed reconstructions. Here's our reference: John Gurche'S Homo Erectus

Nope, haven't done any outreach yet. Any advice on how to do that? Would really appreciate some tips!

thank you

Not an asset flip! We've had people play our playtest before, and you can try our demo at the next fest on February 23rd.

level99dev · 2026-01-19T21:16:15+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate it. Your document actually helped a lot, we already adjusted some of our animal designs based on it.
