POV: you're an indie dev watching some of the biggest streamers scream at your game

^(I'm still not over this. I cut together some reactions from streamers playing Night Record: Thin Walls, my narrative horror game set in a Soviet-era apartment block where the walls are a little too thin.)

^(Seeing people I've watched for years jump at scenes I rewrote a dozen times is surreal.)

^(If it looks like your kind of horror, a wishlist would mean a lot:) ^(https://store.steampowered.com/app/4652040)

^(Happy to answer any questions!)

Need Help Promoting Multiplayer Game

Hi all - I just released my first game (demo) on Steam.

Unfortunately, it’s a PVP multiplayer game (6-10 players per match) and is heavily dependent on a strong network effect.

Whenever I self promote the game on Reddit it gets hardly any traffic/likes/comments.

I thought about hosting a tournament with a cash prize, but that is seemingly gaining no traction either.

The game is certainly not perfect, but testing it with friends has been chaotic fun. Hope that another group of friends out there can find that same joy.

Anyone have experience with multiplayer focused games and getting the “first movers” to play the game?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Demo available, looking for feedback

Hi all,

I have just released a small free demo of my game LapbyLap on itchi.io would love to get your feedback. It is an early access demo, so plenty still to do, but the core C++ physics engine is built, just don't have everything hooked up to the Unreal Engine visual Layer yet. 10

Would love to see what the strategists can do, and also eager to see what the actual drivers can do.

Thanks guys and have fun with the demo if you try it. Lets see those times.

GFX Cleanup Adjustments | 2D Action

BIG thank you to the feedback in here. Just want to say that I may come off a bit offensively analytical, but every bit is taken into design consideration and action from your voices.

Thank you for that! Seriously.

More tuning to go. Cleaned up quite a bit on the sprite GFX. Either through adjustments of the materials or deleting unnecessary ones altogether.

Plus a preview of a Kumite Chaos Survival Mode level update 😳😬🙇🏽‍♂️🙏🏼✒️🎞️

Adding to Steam later tonight 🥱😴

I want to know if making completely broken magic builds is actually fun

I’m making a small survivors-like where the goal isn't really to make a balanced build - it's to combine effects until things get completely stupid.

It's a browser game yet, so there's no download or installation.

I'm mainly looking for answers to 3 things:

  • Does the combat feel fun?
  • Are the spell combinations interesting enough to make you want another run?
  • Where did you get bored or confused?

You don't need to finish a run. 10–15 minutes is already extremely helpful.

If you have a game you'd like me to test in return, feel free to drop it below.

My most extensive game to date: RED KITE, a Metroidvania.

Hi everyone! RED KITE is my biggest game to date; it’s an action-platformer with a strong focus on the story.

It features plenty of cutscenes with pre-rendered 3D backgrounds, cool dialogue, and—in my opinion—great gameplay.

Since the game is still in development, only a playable demo (up to Level 10) is available right now. The full game isn't launching until June 20th, so please bear with any bugs or errors—I’ll be addressing those.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the story, as that’s where I put the most work in, as well as any other suggestions or ideas for improvement.

[Unpaid] Looking for playtesters to test Futbol Warriors

TL;DR
I'm looking for playtesters. Happy to playtest your game in return 🙏🏻

----

Hey everyone! ⚽⚔️

Just opened up the alpha of Futbol Warriors, built with Tesana.

The idea: soccer meets a medieval brawler. Two-minute, 11v11 matches with knights, mages, berserkers, ninjas and more. Pass, shoot, score… or knock an opponent down and cut off a limb. It gets pretty chaotic 😂

It’s an early alpha, and I’d love honest feedback on both the premise and the gameplay:
• Does the soccer + combat mix sound like something you’d play?
• After trying it, is the chaos fun, or does it get in the way of playing soccer?
• What’s the first thing you’d change to make you want another match?

Play here: https://tesana.com/play/990ca7a8-7975-4238-9419-fab0788a21d4

A quick first impression is welcome, even if the concept isn’t your thing. Tell me what works, what’s frustrating, and what breaks 🙏

Looking for feedback on a beginner level 15 minute prototype for idea validation (Can be played on browser)

Hi, im a beginner game dev and i have recently finished my first game jam and made a game about fishing. In order to validate the game's idea, i need you to try the game and answer a short 9-question google from questionnaire afterwards as brutally honest as you can. I know the game is missing a lot of basic elements and could still go to any direction, but i mainly want to find out if this jam project has enough potential for a full, commercially successful game.

Everything you need to know is in the game page's description.

Game's itch io page: https://dem8.itch.io/up-the-river

Questionnaire: https://forms.gle/CKGhttZqko9iRs6g9
