Meanwhile we were so afraid to hit submit we tested for months even if we were just launching a playtest build. Sweating before every early build submission and our steam review.
Even if it was actually a rubber stamp im glad we took so much care and am glad steam is setting up more tests like this.
Don’t stop caring just because others don’t. Do it for yourself. It will show. Proud of you.
Im going to share this with the team thank you :)
Glad there's some devs who do care. Do You mean any specific title here?
This new law is probably aimed against ai slops or/and super bugged self crashing crap... bethesda :V
I am a co founder of Hermertia Wars. Bunch of indie devs making our dream come true by working on an Action RTS that takes characters from our 13+ year lore playing minecraft community, and makes them heros you control while recruiting villagers, soldiers, and directing economy. Like AOE/warcraft 3 meets smash bros. Early game. We have a long project in mind. Would love new playtesters or meet folks interested in indie dev :). We are also a workers cooperative which is the best part.
For last few days and probably few weeks more, I'm deep diving another game that I just acquired (Soulframe). Hermertia Wars got wishlisted and installed and defo gonna check, may even do some infodump about at some point.
Much thanks for doing games with passion.
Oh thank you! Its most fun with friends as an arena game as the NPC ai is still just getting going. Feel free to join our discord to find other players. We have a mini tournament every Monday night too. :) we hoped to meet other gamers or devs on this journey. Awesome! https://discord.gg/ahZGXCvTH
You got me intrigued.
Indie, the game type, you being in a workers cooperative, aiming for a long project and thorough development sound so good.
I'm going to join the playtest!
What's the preferred way to provide feedback aside from Discord, which I don't use.
Hell yeah, when it's further along be sure to talk about it on here more
Looks interesting, just joined the playtest!
Pride in creation is so much greater for the knowledge you did it right. It's so easy to not, but taking pride in your work as you do it is the secret to results you can be proud of.
But looking back, do you think that after you were done with testing, you could have said: "These tests we've run show that our game runs according to our standards" with confidence?
