Hi!
I’ve been working on a deep sim sci fi survival horror game for almost two years now, it has started out as a deferred renderer for 2D graphics which eventually turned into a full 2.5D engine and game.
I’m currently wrapping up development for an early alpha playtest and I would love to get your feedback! I have not really done any marketing so I’m far behind on community engagement.
If you’re into physics based unique experience with lots of nerdy simulations for atmospherics, electricity, biomes, and flora fauna, then head on over to my discord channel where will be orchestrating the playtest and I update on development almost daily Discord.
And if you’re already keen on it, a wishlist would be greatly appreciated! Steampage
Matrix, and there’s a P2P one that just went around called PeerSuite? Both are far from perfect, but at least aren’t yucky corpo platforms. Sorry to come across so harsh in the initial comment, the tone in my head was light hearted I promise lol. More of a “I’m happy to help figure out an alternative communication stream in order to make me a useful tester.” Might be worth making your game a Mastodon account to direct people to from the Steam page? Could be a good spot to encourage people to learn about the fediverse and provide a channel for updates and a message system for testers? Idk. Discord is somewhat unique still in the type of organizational tools it provides, hence the love-hate relationship I have with it lol
Not harsh at all, I deleted all my social platforms about 5 years ago and so I have like zero presence anywhere, it has been amazing for me personally. But it means I’m totally out of the loop and in a poor position to grass roots market this 😂.
I’ll check out those platforms thanks for the rundown. In the meantime if you still want to keep in the loop I don’t mind updating you in DM, Id rather have 1 genuinely interested person with good feedback than a million silent followers!
