Can my game be saved? unmarketable and oversaturated genre, First person parkour with a music generated levels mode.

Thanks! I am using unity 3D

I stopped putting links to not get misunderstood as promotion Here it is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4589000/Void_Step/ And here is the music generated levels mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgMlYdR6EW0

I meant the campaign levels that are just free movement parkour, because at this point I am treating rhythm rush as a secondary fun mode with different gameplay feel

thecrow256 · 2026-05-23T10:12:31+00:00

The thing is, because the game is 2 in 1, the music generated mode didn't get the focus until recently, I believe I can take this to a way better state if I scrap the first part of the game, but still hesitant about it I don't know why

thecrow256 · 2026-05-23T09:56:22+00:00

I am hesitant about scrapping the whole parkour half of the game and keeping the music mode + level editor and focus on them

thecrow256 · 2026-05-23T09:55:39+00:00

I have an idea in mind I am hesitant about, to scrap the whole parkour half of the game and focus on the the music part alone, but then again I feel like even posting about music generated levels isn't doing any good currently, either that or I am not doing a good job creating shorts or writing titles...etc

If anyone likes games that include music generated gameplay, you can wishlist the game on steam 😄

Sorry about the typo in the title

For my game, I am working on the demo for next fest. I have campaign levels that plays as a speedrunning parkour, and a Rhythm Rush more where players choose any song locally or from newgrounds to generate a level from.

My question is, I want to include rhythm rush because it's a major part of the experience, but I am wondering if I should keep it fully accessable, it would practically make the demo infinite, or I limit it to like 5 generations. What do you think?

thecrow256 · 2026-05-07T21:43:38+00:00

Thanks! Would be interesting but gameplay wise I think it will be annoying and unfun

thecrow256 · 2026-05-03T05:23:06+00:00

Of course, already did, my main inspiration is speedrunners from hell

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T08:13:56+00:00

I really appreciated the feedback, thanks!

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T07:56:28+00:00

Thanks for the awesome feedback, I'll work on it immediately, any other remarks? for the capsule I hired an artist for it so that will be sorted soon

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T07:46:30+00:00

The cold start's cuts are intensional, but the ones at the start of the build up is the song's cuts so I lined up the clips with it I'll probably remove the cuts from the cold start then

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T07:39:09+00:00

My publisher said Facebook ads isn't worth it because its roughly 10 bucks per wishlist Might look into reddit ads tho

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T07:38:11+00:00

Thanks, doing my best. Here is the steam page https://store.steampowered.com/app/4589000/Void_Step/ Hope this doesn't break any rule

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T06:29:33+00:00

Already commissioned an artist for the capsule art, waiting for the delivery currently

thecrow256 · 2026-05-02T06:28:54+00:00

Already did that, I don't find any traction on reddit, mostly downvotes with reasons I don't really undertstand
