Would this make my game stand out significantly more? I'm currently going down the rabbit hole of implementing controller support, mostly because I feel like it would be cool to play my game with a controller, but wondering if this can actually meaningfully boost my standing.
Hey all! I released the demo for my dark fantasy tactical RPG last week. Dice-based hex combat, 1-4 player co-op, four characters with multiple distinct builds each. Built on Unity over the past three years.
Drawing influence from games like XCOM and Wartales, and tabletop games like Descent and D&D, Eternally focuses on single character build mastery and tactical combat execution. Each character can be built to compliment another, with a complex rule-set (affinities, terrain, conditions, abilities etc) inspired by board games.
Demo's on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4281030/Eternally/
Aiming for Early Access in July 2026 - the game's built around replayability and multi-character build variety, and I want real player feedback shaping balance and campaign expansion before 1.0. Genuinely curious what this sub thinks - happy to answer any questions!
Hey all - I posted in this sub a while back (and a few other gamedev subs) asking for first impressions of my trailer and Steam page. I got a trickle of views but almost no real reaction - and the traction I'd hoped for never really followed.
At the time I was a bit deflated. But sitting with it, I came round to a different reading: the quiet was the feedback.
So I worked with a professional trailer editor to rework the launch trailer for the demo (which is now out). I put together a comparison video using roughly equivalent moments - same gameplay actions, same beats.

Personally I think the presentation is night and day, but I'm obviously biased but curious what you all think!
