Hi everyone! Glad to see indie dev community so alive! Would love to be part of this starter pack :)

Welcome, challenger, to TorcherR’s realm. 🔥 Polishing doomed souls today. What are you working on?

put me in the red one, it shines like the spiled blood of my enemies

Respawn point hit, it’s Monday again. Everything finished like 5 hours ago is now under 'last Friday'.

#Loop #indiegames #gamedev

Master TorcherR is furious he didn’t come up with this first.
Play my demo, Fridays are for chaos.

too pretty, gonna die

Thank you so much for your time and feedback, it's super helpful. I'm finishing your videos and will rework the trailer. Really appreciate you taking the time.
Also, I'm joining your panel @ IndieGameBusiness in a few mins — looking forward to it.

YouTube video by TorchR Runners: Demastered Gameplay Trailer - TorchR Runners: Demastered

Went through some of @derek-lieu.com trailer advice (thanks to the person who tagged him on my old post where I was completely lost)

I did used old footage, and it’s still not where it needs to be, but it’s definitely better now

We’re part of Indie LIVE Expo on Steam
& got a feature in their YT showcase.

TorchR Runners:Demastered a co-op platformer with traps, yelling and one very rude narrator. Demo’s up, so if you’re curious try it or Wishlist, both helps.

How do people describe our game:

- It was going great until the floor disappeared.
- Shared lives? More like shared doom.
- Teamwork is required, friendships are optional.

keep seeing #portfolioday here
don’t think I told you, and we’re six months in..

we’re not a studio but friends, out of jobs, no funding. this whole thing runs on our savings. the goal is to finish the game, not sell our soul, and be proud of what we made.
bonus if we can start another one after.

no, i did not just use acceptance into festival on steam to find excuse to delay yesterday's obligations.

i got like a month and a half to make the current final trailer with no basic industry mistakes,
bc TRD just got into Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration on Steam :D

#gamedev #indiegame #gamefest

i get it, but it was fun waiting to meet your friends again so you could make a dissertation on how to do it, and hear that a cousin of a friend of a neighbour did it once on the first try.

then all of you get together and scream at each other about how to play it, while no one really knows.

started presentation complaint, gave a lecture on motion sickness. 10/10

collecting footage and idk, inspiration? existential dread?
to finally make a proper trailer. been putting it off forever.

Any advice?

already googled:
don't start with dark screen (did it),
or a logo,
or words on screen (did it),
have fun but also if you mess it you can f up everything

My game is part of the Indie Live Expo, showcasing awesome indie games on YouTube, April 13th.

Grab a friend (or frenemies) and try not to fail miserably while TorcherR’s chaos takes over in the demo. The Master will definitely taunt you—but hey, it’s kind of his thing.
#INDIELiveExpo #IndieGameDev

(me, zero experience:)
Use specific examples, show a clip of the biggest you solved, write a dev post about what went into it, tell them you heard them... I would be excited if the game I like stopped crashing

too cute, would die instantly

When you loose your mind take a break and get back at it, you will never be the same but the product will eat :D
