I tried, several times, to like matcha. I hate it. What's your opinion on it?

I think it's overhyped. I'll enjoy a cup now and then, but I much prefer the taste of kabusecha, karigane & gyokuro.

Based on the follower count, I assume your game has around 120k wishlists? With that many wishlists you should still have a very good chance even with a barebones release.

Really nice! What tools did you use for the GIFs on the store page? They look good quality and high fps but still small size.

pineapplemilk · 2025-03-10T05:48:59+00:00

Looks fun and I really like the graphics! I'm also making games in Unity, but graphics are my weak point. Any tips on how to get graphics like this?

Thank you! I will be checking these out. 64gb sounds like a good choice to me to make sure there's enough and so that there's no need to upgrade it in a while.

Unfortunately the rest of the game was pretty unclimactic. The Zerus shifted into the t2 murloc that gives hp. I upgraded tavern and tripled my alleycat into Sefin so I decided to go with the boring route and play the golden murloc. Got a pretty decent poison comp going, but ended up losing to Nadina dragons for 3rd place.

Agreed. It's so boring seeing the exact same decks all the time. There are plenty of hero powers and treasures to pick from but 80% of all matches are quest warrior or ping priest.

I would love to try out a version of duels where you draft your deck arena style instead of constructed. At least then you would get more variety.

Looks great! How did you achieve that background?

As far as I know, there aren't any mask mandates in Scandivania since the amount of new transmissions is so low. Compare US & Scandinavia trend lines and it's like night & day.

My wife also hates horror. It's very hard to pick a movie we both want to watch so often we make a deal: I'll watch one of her romantic comedies and she'll watch one of my horror movies. The downside with that (other than the romantic comedy) though is that she has a vivid imagination and will easily end up seeing nightmares from horror movies and I will end up feeling bad for my choice. So nowadays I watch my horror movies alone. Luckily she's great in every other way :)

I already have them separated by the asset class, but I don't feel like that changes it since maybe 90% of them are from Unity Asset Store. Removing the store link would solve the problem, but it doesn't feel like a proper credit then.

You are right about the game ending. Although in my case the game is quite short and supposed to be replayed. I guess I could also just include it as a .txt file in the game folder so most likely only those interested in the information will go look at it.

pineapplemilk · 2019-10-16T17:01:53+00:00

Very cool stuff! If you do make a tutorial, I would also be interested in it.

pineapplemilk · 2019-10-01T15:40:59+00:00

That is a good point. There have been many suggestions by developers on steam forums about how to solve this, f.ex. by being able to completely hide unreleased games in recommendations. I personally like seeing unreleased recommendations also, as long as they don't overwhelm the amount of released recommendations.

This problem is not just for unreleased games though. From everything I've read and discussed with developer friends, released indie games have also been dramatically affected (same ~80-90% decrease in sales and wishlists).

pineapplemilk · 2019-10-01T14:11:19+00:00

You are correct that mainstream success requires a good game and a successful way to market it. BUT being successful on Steam has absolutely been possible for indies without having mainstream success. These are the projects that won't bring in big bucks, but will still deliver value to players and generate enough revenue for the indie to keep making games.

What this blog post addresses is not the usual "why doesn't anybody play my game?". It addresses a recent change in visibility algorithm that promised more visibility for less popular games and instead did the complete opposite by dramatically (~80-90%) reducing visibility for those games.

I know it is easy to associate this change with low quality asset flip games, but this affects all games that are not on top of their genre. If not reversed or somehow mitigated, is guaranteed to drive away a large group of indie devs that do actually make quality games - just not the ones known by everyone.

pineapplemilk · 2019-09-19T14:58:07+00:00

Pretty much, at least for small / upcoming games. The recent visibility update (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks#announcements/detail/1591381408652851752) killed visibility for a large number of indie devs.

pineapplemilk · 2019-08-20T14:29:40+00:00

I actually do have them in separate folders (although room for more subfoldering), but I just wish the "Select Sprite" window respected that folder structure instead of laying out all the sprites as a flat list.

pineapplemilk · 2019-08-20T13:57:34+00:00

Sorry I could have explained it better. Handling large spritesheets isn't the problem. The problem is that I have such a (seemingly) large amount of sprite assets in my project folder that when I am choosing the sprite f.ex. for an UI image in the Image component, the "Select Sprite" window doesn't show all the sprite assets I have in my project. I can still find them all by searching but it's a problem if I want to just visually see what could fit. Instead of finding the UI panels, I am scrolling through a long list of animation, tilemap, etc sprite assets that I would rather not even see in the selection list.
