been over four years since i joined the incelosphere, to be honest it got quite stagnant after 2021, but well it is still interesting to see me of all people out lasting nearly everything, i even finished college in the mean time.
 
Congrats brocel. How many wishlists?
 
a few hundred in a few days, no idea if that is good
That's a good sign. The common wisdom is to not release until you've got at least 5k or something, even if your game is ready for release. I guess it's because you want that momentum that will push your game in the charts, which will give you even more exposure.
I wish brocels could know which game so we could support you, but chances are you'd be getting review/refund bombed by Inceltears so don't tell anybody.
 
What’s it called?

from advice i need a few thousand wishlist before thinking about launch
 
That's really nice. Did you develop it on your own? I really, really want to make a game. Sadly i'm not even that good of a web developer yet, so i need to wait. Eventually i'll make one tho.

Do you have any advice that you can share?

yes i made 95% of the game aside of audio.

my advice is to start with a Engine good for beginners that is small in size, free of charge and don't require an account, i suggest Godot. start with some Mario Clone or something simple like that, there are good youtube tutorials out there, Heartbeast is my fav.

once you are comfortable you can move to C++ and more complex stuff
 
Maybe focus on trying to fix your dead forum first.
 
ok glowie. Anyone with half a brain knows he is right yes he might get a dozen maybe 2 dozen sales here if generous but the ones put off will likely way outnumber all of us once he gets bombarded by negative reviews.

Were you ambitious on your project? did you have to leave a lot of stuff out? That's a problem that i think i may have too, i'll want to make something really big and face up the reality of being a solo dev.... I'll check the dude your yt rec, thanks

I'm on this project for 3 years, it is ambitious in a few ways but a lot of ideas ended up in the cutting room floor.

before this project i made a dozen of small games and posted on itch.io they all suck but i got experience and feedback, trying to make you dream project in your first try is impossible it seems.

pro tip once you feel confident enough to make a commercial game, try to get it on Steam as soon as you have marketing material made for it, so you can farm wishlists.
 
Nice, good luck man. Would buy it to support you if I could
