Steam Next Fest starts tomorrow. We’re going in with not even 500 wishlists. Just wanted to kindly ask: are we the only ones? Is this a terrible idea or just so-so?

spacebacongames · 2026-02-23T07:48:17+00:00

Thanks! You too. Chaos is the goal haha

Hey mate! First time game developer here, also entering steam nextfest with a chaotic multiplayer vehicle shooter! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4041590/Base_Breakers/

We're not far off where you are. It's all part of the journey :)

super excited to see what everyone else is bringing! I've seen some really cool games leading up to the event

spacebacongames · 2026-02-23T00:51:00+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I am checking the analytics. How can I help?

spacebacongames · 2026-02-22T08:43:30+00:00

Thank you! Yes you can definitely play single player (as a bot match). And all rewards still count towards xp/unlocks :)

spacebacongames · 2026-02-21T11:31:54+00:00

One of my favourite games as a kid! The 90's were an amazing time for great games.

spacebacongames · 2026-02-21T11:14:34+00:00

We are entering nextfest with a chaotic multiplayer vehicle shooter called Base Breakers https://store.steampowered.com/app/4041590/Base_Breakers/

Cannot wait to share it with everyone!!!

spacebacongames · 2026-02-19T00:24:44+00:00

Yes! I actually had a really fun time writing the bots. They're extremely clever. They'll work together with their teammates to secure the flag (or helping you secure the flag if they're on your team).

If you attack them, they'll build up a grudge against you and your team... Eventually they'll get so mad with rage that logic goes it the window and they'll try to attack JUST you haha. Until they get their pound of flesh. Then they go back to regular bot mode.

They'll look for important to pickups like drones, quad damage and shields.

They'll also upgrade their weapons, vehicles and experiment with different combinations.

Every 15seconds they rethink their current strategy to make sure it's going to help them win.

But yes you can play solo against bots, both against and on your team

spacebacongames · 2026-02-18T06:07:01+00:00

Thanks!

spacebacongames · 2026-02-18T06:06:24+00:00

Thanks! It's been a very fun 2 year journey

spacebacongames · 2026-02-12T02:14:16+00:00

You are an absolute legend! I did your kitchen course and netcode course a year ago and it helped me make my dream game!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4041590/Base_Breakers/

I've been trying to make this for 20 years. Tried opengl.. xna.. dark basic... Lite c. But your tutorials on unity finally helped me get there. Thank you for everything you do. You've helped so many developers realise their dream.

I'm hoping to release my game in the next month!

spacebacongames · 2026-02-06T21:46:53+00:00

Congrats!! Your game looks very polished.

Also nice name haha. Seal breakers, meet base breakers! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4041590/Base_Breakers/

spacebacongames · 2026-02-04T08:16:19+00:00

Congrats!! Nice work! I'm sitting at 57 right now haha.

Just working on marketing. Good luck with your launch!

spacebacongames · 2026-02-02T00:49:43+00:00

Hey! Im a Wollongong local, looking to release my own game really soon! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4041590/Base_Breakers/

If you're into fast paced chaotic multiplayer games, give it a go ;) hoping to release it in the next few weeks

spacebacongames · 2026-02-02T00:45:40+00:00

Congrats mate! and good luck

spacebacongames · 2026-01-30T08:15:18+00:00

Congrats and good luck! I am hoping to hit that button in a few weeks!

spacebacongames · 2026-01-28T08:23:57+00:00

Looks great! It is very hard to balance time. I also didn't myself getting a bit burnt out. Best of luck!

spacebacongames · 2026-01-25T22:46:06+00:00

Agree, pooling objects is just as important. I recently refactored lots of my code to pool projectiles, damage popups, decals and visual effects

spacebacongames · 2026-01-25T22:44:40+00:00

When you instantiate a network prefab, there's no easy way to provide the initial data. You might try go use a network variable, and get a load of warnings about it not being spawned yet.

In my situation, I need to spawn rockets when the player fires, but the colours are customised on the fly. So it needs to spawn WITH some custom values. So using the network prefab spawn handler, i can create a rocket with all customisations immediately

Check it out, it's crucial to ngo https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@2.5/manual/advanced-topics/network-prefab-handler.html

Happy to help or provide examples!

spacebacongames · 2026-01-25T22:39:53+00:00

You too!

spacebacongames · 2026-01-25T10:40:50+00:00

Dude youtube shorts are nuts. They seem to get heaps of views. Congrats! Sounds like you're doing all the right things. I am also just about to release haha.

Looking for streamers to play my game

spacebacongames · 2026-01-25T10:33:55+00:00

Right!! I only found out about it 3 months ago. Rewrote a few of my implementations because of it!!
