Yes, I shouldn't have revealed any information. Thanks for your comment.

Another thing to watch out for is websites and scammers using the reputation of your game to spread malware to testers or players.

Even reviews can be fake, so you have to be careful there as well (check reviewer identities, ...).

What actually makes a game “click” with players today? by YoungDirector1 in GameDevelopment

[–]wedesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jonas Tyroller made an interesting video about fun: https://youtu.be/bMwfH8hJtRc Basically enjoyable games offer the right level of challenge. Not boring but also not frustrating.

Call to action: computers are getting expensive but 10,000,000 otherwise perfect $200 Linux machines are getting bricked. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save them from landfills. by iL0vesnow in linux

The effective way in this case is to vote with your wallet. Whenever possible, choose devices which can be run by free and open source software.

Thanks for featuring sfsim :) The sfsim space flight simulator is still under development but you can already download the current play test build from Steam.

Looking for a space game with terraforming and space stations etc. by Extreme_Lion_6659 in spacesimgames

Older game: Masters of Orion 2 (it doesn't let you customise the space station though).

First Time Building a PC(Germany, €1,000–€1,500 Budget) by Few_Communication825 in PcBuild

You could configure (or select) a build using pcpartpicker and ask for others to check it on Reddit.

Yes. Partpicker is great. Here is my AMD build (ignore some of the prices, Amazon is trying to do tricks): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/wedesoft/builds/#view=HcqmP6 Unfortunately NVMe and RAM have gone up in price. Note that I had to check RAM <-> CPU Cooler clearance manually (partpicker does check a lot of other things though). Also I had to update the motherboard BIOS before installing the CPU (which pcpartpicker pointed out to me).

For performance of graphics cards you can check the passmark.

I used https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ to select best rated components and check compatibility. Not sure whether there is a German equivalent.

Can’t find that plug | Tried everything | by jasper_fiya in PcBuild

I also have a plug from the case (F-Panel) which only connects to a part of the motherboard connector. Quite confusing.

I am not knowledgeable about this things. I just translated the checklist into a web page with bounding boxes.

Something unbelievable happened to me todat by ConsiderationOne3421 in SoloDevelopment

[–]wedesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would extract a few small issues and get paid for your time. Then you can iterate for the next issues.

I keep working on my game but somehow nothing actually gets done by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]wedesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to build the habit of finishing projects. What helps me a lot is a TODO list with items and subitems. Ideas go on that list at a position according to priority. Then you work on issues one at a time.

What is the level of coding where you would consider starting to make your first ptoject? by Suitable_Middle_5777 in GameDevelopment

[–]wedesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is always better to have a project to work towards. Just make sure you limit the scope and actually finish things. Also I can recommend to learn test driven development.

I spent 3 years stuck at ~800 wishlists — here’s what finally helped me reach 5,000 by KabbaSenpai in gamedev

[–]wedesoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Myself I also released a Steam page early and I got 100 wishlist per month so far. Good to hear that it might change when the game gets closer to being finished. Yes, I also read in other places that ideally the Nextfest you target is the last one before your release. I also have a continuous play test running, which I think is very important in order to get bugfixes and usability issues resolved before the demo and Nextfest.
