Some weeks ago i released the demo for my game. After some thousand demo-runs i see that the average play time of my demo is 38 minutes. (and also the wishlists start to grow, so the demo is at least not too bad)

"Corridor 13" is an anomaly spotting game and the Demo ends after Corridor 8 / 13. (It was 6 / 13 for the first hundreds of runs, than i changed it, because some players had too much luck with just try and error and finished the demo very fast without even saw anything interesting)

the full game will be about 1.5 or 2.0 hours i think. thats what i expect to achieve when its done. 2.0 would also be good for preventing people to play, end and refund it.

So, is 38 minutes of demo content good? or too much for a game with that limited amount of gameplay? What do you think?

Thinking about that 38 minutes, that may mean that some people just play it a few minutes and others play the demo waaay longer than 38min. But i dont have detailed statistics about that.

This is how the indy game "Corridor 13" make sure, the pc has to render less and the fps are high

Alle paar Jahre denke ich mir, diesmal könnte Bahnfahren ausnahmsweise mal in irgendeiner Form dem Auto überlegen sein. Jedes Mal werde ich eines Besseren belehrt und ärgere mich. Nicht erst im nachhinein, sondern schon vorher, weil jedes einzelne Mal in den letzten 10 Jahren der Fahrplan über Bord geworfen wird und ich dann in einem Flixbus oder Nachts ein einem Hotel lande, in einer Stadt in der ich nicht sein will.

Jetzt kündigt sich es auch wieder an. Ich buche eine Reise vor einem Monat. Antritt in 2 Wochen. Über 7 Stunden mit dem Zug für eine Reise die in weniger als 4 Stunden mit dem Auto möglich wäre.
Nun kommt heute die Mail dass mein Reiseplan nicht mehr möglich ist und ich mir eine Alternative suchen muss. Super. Sitzplatzreservierung hinfällig und im besten Fall stehe ich mit meiner Tochter irgendwo in einem Überfüllten Zug. Immerhin besser als irgendwo zu Stranden.

Ich soll mir also eine Alternative suchen. Wenn ich mir eine Suche, wird aber genau die Reise, die es ja eigentlich nicht mehr gibt, angezeigt. Oder eine, bei der ich 4x umsteigen muss oder mit der Regionalbahn fahren muss. Alles andere wäre mit Übernachtung irgendwo. Die ich dann selbst zahlen darf oder mich mit irgendwelchen Leuten auseinandersetzen muss, damit mir da irgendwas erstattet wird?

Wo ist Bahnfahren stressfreier, wenn mich der Laden schon 2 Wochen vor Reisebeginn stresst?

Wo sind nochmal Leute, die das Auto schlechtreden weil Bahnfahren ja so viel besser ist?

Hi, I am an solo dev and my game "Corridor 13" is short before its demo release. At the moment, closed playtests are running, where i watch people play.

So.. I had an Playtester with Linux and an GTX1650. My game chanced into compatibility mode, which is very bad and laggy and happens only when the GPU does not support Vulkan.

But.. The GTX1650 supports Vulkan - as far as i know. So this could be a driver issue on my testers laptop or a bigger problem with the GTX1650 at all.

For this i need someone with an GTX1650 who could help me out there and test my game to see if it runs "normal (vulcan)" or in "compatibility (opengl)" mode.

One screenshot after the game start would be enough for me to see if its Vulkan or OpenGL. No need to watch or stream.

So, it would be great if someone will help me out here. Big thanks in advance!

Today I got some game asset I paid for from someone I do not personally know. So I tested it and several AI detection tools say "It's AI"
So instead of instantly blame him I started to just check some other assets from my game I paid for in the past.

For example: Local guy near me made some pictures of Einstein, Curie, ... , and me. I am 100% sure, not AI. I saw progress of it how he did it.
AI Detection says, no AI, except the picture he draw of me. "Highly AI". Art style is very the same in all and he has a portfolio thats way older than AI image creation.

So because I am really, really, REALLY sure that must be a false positive, i tested some more assets from my game, even what I made myself aaaaand the "funniest" result was:

My kids draw some pictures, i photographed them, cut them for my game and several AI-detectors say its AI or likely AI at one picture. lol wtf is this? I dont think i raise up some robots.

What I see here is a ugly problem, since lots of people, especially on indy cummunities, are like "if there is AI involved, I dont buy and you deserve the biggest shitstorm and not a single penny of money". So as easy it is to decompile an indy game and check stuff, there could be nasty problems for devs.

What do you think here?

Hey guys,

I am developing my horror game "Corridor 13" for quite some time now as a solo dev and my second trailer is here to show you! What do you think?

Steam Page is found here - release will be in November when everything in my schedule work.

What does make you DONT wishlist my game? Whats bad in the trailer? I am very open for any feedback!

Hey everyone,

A few month ago I made the first trailer of my psychological horror anomaly game "Corridor 13" where the player woke up in an abandoned school corridor, trying to escape.

since then the game visuals and atmosphere changed A LOT in my opinion, so I decided to spend the last week to create a new trailer that fits the current project state.

the old trailer is still at the steam page, which you can see here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4451040/Corridor_13/

If you like what you see, wishlist my game - this will push my motivation very much!

I would love to hear your thoughts about the trailer, also about the evolution of it :)
