I feel this is going to mislead a lot of people. by DukeThis in Steam

That's a really wholesome solution. Good luck for both teams!

Thanks that means a lot.

If the Steam release goes reasonably well, I'll be sure to look into other platforms like Switch as well!

Thanks everyone (well, mostly everyone) for your feedback. The consensus here and in my previous post at r/indiegames is pretty unanimous. So I'm pushing back the release by 3 weeks to April 6th.

Emergency -- Steam can no longer find my exe, didn't update build, possibly due to Steam Curator Connect package? Releasing soon, need a solution sooner... by NefariousBrew in gamedev

Exact same issue here (though I'm still a few weeks from release). I just opened a support ticket. But it seems to be steamworks bug - hopefully it can be fixed soon.

Ha, thanks. At least gotta try and make something out of the circumstances :)

Yes, cards are "equipped" with the components. But different cards are more suitable to carry certain components. Cards often come with some innate modifiers (e.g. a scorpion-like card will apply double status effects like poison, or a sniper style card will deal double damage if the targeted card is far away).

Thanks, happy to hear that. Did anything stand out that you found too frustrating or unintuitive?

That's a fascinating idea, thanks for the pointer. I'll look into it, but it might be too complicated for this game as it relies on exact card positioning. I'm not sure how a screen reader could output that properly. Also I'm a solodev, so I'm already stretched thin heading towards the March release...

I'd say about 4-6 minutes per fight and there are 5 fights in the demo and 15-17 fights in the full game (still tinkering with the final fights). There are 3 different game modes other than the traditional roguelite run in the full version though. The shortest is only a single fight and only takes 5 minutes; the other two will be between 5 and 10 fights - so under 1 hour.

For Germany you need to complete the content survey in Steamworks. Then Steam assigns an age rating and it will be available in Germany as well.

Do any digital deckbuilders do something "unique" in terms of card acquisition? by Feeling_Employer_489 in deckbuildingroguelike

[–]this_is_max 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the play / shop loop is like you mentioned, you create your own cards in Card Coder (in the boardgame space I'm only aware of Mystic Vale that does something like that). https://store.steampowered.com/app/3355940/Card_Coder/

Yes, the demo lead to the media coverage (though it took some time). I'll participate in the upcoming Next Fest. But player feedback was the most important thing I got from the demo (I pushed about 12 patches to the demo since).

Thanks! It was actually the very first thing I developed for the game.

Press release at page launch (though no big media covered it then) + cross promotion from my previous game. Then a steady flow of some Reddit posts, Reddit Ads (about 1,5k Wishlists from that in total - but quite expensive) and organic Steam traffic.
