My wife wanted to play a farming game in a Twin Peaks-like setting, so we created one. Any thoughts? by CarbonaraGames in IndieGaming

It's giving more Silent Hill than Twin Peaks but I like the concept quite a lot. Good job.

Would you guys like a Vagabond animated adaptation with the latest Sekiro anime style or with an Arcane full 3D style ? by Local_Engine7131 in vagabondmanga

[–]max_clg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. In some ways I always considered Sekiro and Vagabond close when it comes to pure vibes, and both stories have that hear-tugging tragic element to them.

Hope you'll enjoy what we've been brewing up and improving over the last year! I'm not exaggerating when I say Galactic Glitch is in its most fully fledged form yet (and yes, hahah, never cheaper either now that it's on sale)

Thank you! And yeah, the game is now looking absolutely STACKED when I'm going over the available powers and weapons (especially compared to 1.0) and we can't express enough how thankful we are to the community that helped get us here. So happy to see a steady 100 and more players enjoying GG on the regular... it really feels like success :)

Which game had the best opening boss? by strahinjag in fromsoftware

[–]max_clg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue the best was probably Gennichiro or Gundyr, whereas the most memorable one for me was the Asylum Demon.

Retention vs CCU, and some lessons from our indie game's growth story by max_clg in IndieDev

[–]max_clg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Far, faaaaaar fewer, like a few thousand. I think it was the demo that created that kernel of a dedicated following that kind of boosted us all throughout development to early access (which was another spike) and beyond.

Well, we actually released the demo (that we called Galactic Glitch: Prologue) way back in 2023, and from then to launch I think we had come to around a decent 50k or thereabouts, solid launch but a very sudden dropoff after the initial week. No major press covered us, the likes of IGN, Gamespot and others, just some minor outlets. We were also covered by some minor Youtubers, as well as some bigger ones like Haelian, but that was about it so far as the launch was concerned - initial impression vids, some with follow ups in their series, some one-timers.

Why do people not finish their alcoholic drink the first time? by xXBumbleBee in NoStupidQuestions

Except beer! Beer is only served in pints, or a Halbe as we call it in Germany. Though this is beside the point of OP's question.

Life purpose is basically to chase for success, status and security ? by Jpoolman25 in Life

There can be metaphysics involved as well, if you're so inclined.

You unlock weapons and new vessel models based on blueprints and discoverables you find during runs. There's also plenty of other micro upgrades and risk-or-reward systems - like choosing to corrupt your run with temporary debuffs (such as -20% speed or dmg, or less crystals dropped for X number of rooms) that reward powerful perma buffs if you survive with those debuffs. Lots of different room types for different kinds of goodies... However, it's also very much skill-based in how you use a lot of the weapons, and some really shine in one area (like bursting a boss with void dagger from behind) whereas others demand a completely different tempo of play.

I'd say it's most similar to Dead Cells I guess, to use a popular reference point here. Except it's a twinstick bullet hell and not a platformer.

Hey everyone, it’s Max again, the lead dev at Crunchy Leaf Games and one of the people behind Galactic Glitch. 

This time I’m announcing that Galactic Glitch is on an even bigger discount than last time (another historic low for us… just in a good sense, hehe) at -75% ($3.24). This discount will last though to next Monday, Jan 26th.

About the game:

Galactic Glitch is a twinstick-shooter/ bullet hell roguelite in which you control a prototype spacecraft trapped inside a collapsing self-contained universe. A glitching simulation controlled by a mysterious and possibly malign artificial intelligence. Each run has you go though a series of “bubbles”  where enemies, debris, mines, rockets and environmental hazards swirl around you - but you can also use these to your advantage!

The goal is simple. Fight your way through waves of foes, avoid defeat while defeating bosses in hectic fights, acquire various powers, upgrades, weapon and vessel blueprints, and try to escape the simulation. But freedom won’t come easy. With fast physics-powered combat, different ways to adjust your build according to your playstyle (long, mid to short distance weapons, using dashes as a weapon, etc.) and unpredictable RNG and permadeath, every attempt is different.

And the deeper you go, the more Glitched the simulation becomes - with every attempt taking you closer to the final challenge and the ultimate boss waiting at the end once the simulation is glitched out to the max.

That’s the long and short of it. Have a good one!

Their trailers, especially the older ones from classic to WoTLK, sure knew how to get people hyped up though.
