Experimenting with different styles for the next game. What do you think? Heh or meh?

Thereโ€™s a large part of the creative process that involves hours or days of experimentation. Unfortunately, when experimentation leads nowhere, it feels like you wasted a lot of time. The hard part is reminding yourself that you learned what DIDNโ€™T work, and thatโ€™s very important.

In #gamedev there is something very rare. Like anticompetition. Players like to play games similar to the games they liked. If you and I create 2 games around the same idea but slightly different, we both sell to the same audience. If we team up, we can split marketing costs.

This entire game was built around one root concept - helping your teammates:

๐Ÿช– You don't shoot but your presence boosts the others
๐Ÿ’‰ You heal the others
๐ŸŽ–๏ธ You upgrade the others

Which turns action game into a management strategy.

Hell, this really sounds like game music, although it's from the 1840s.

Back when this company was custom dev focused, I wanted to pass a policy:

Everyone starts with 3 lives. Mess up hard and you lose a life. When you lose all your lives, you are fired.

There would be challenges where you could get a life back... and get a symbolic bottle of red wine.

Agreed. What's more, people want to play more games similar to the games they played and liked. And games can be hoarded. There are players on Steam who own thousands of games.

How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog โ€œHello! I am a developer.

Today, 10 years ago, I started playing #CreeperWorld. And since then I've been playing it Every Single Day.

Completely agreed! It's probably because of the ownership/borrowing concept. I tried making a game in it and just trying out if a concept would work is difficult.

"Experts" in game marketing advise to not respond to key requests in case it's a scam and this is where it leads. I respond anyway because even if it's a scam, one or two free keys can't hurt sales, right?
