REPOSE is out store.steampowered.com/app/3002510/RE…

@HansJhob @gameunlocked26 putting it above Bioshock 2 in any list is insane

@gameunlocked26 Bioshock infinite should be F tier. There's 0 immersive elements in that game.

My immersive sim tier list: Which games would you swap in this tier list?

My game 'Automaton Heart' comes out on May 29th

@DadGoneDigital @kantallive that's more like an issue with the pacing and is beside the point, I just disagree with the idea that storytelling should be *always* excluded from a demo because it's somehow irrevelant to the experience the demo wants to sell you on

@0atis0 @kantallive A good story hook is one thing if it's an RPG. But if all the demo consists of is 25 minutes of "story" and 5 minutes of actual gaming, yeah.. I'd drop it and forget it. I feel the majority of the time would be much better spent interacting with the mechanics.

heh, I'm not getings this... I'm testing about 300 games monthly - demos, playtest, private builds and devs still can't do a proper demo, so here's 10 things that you need to know, because the real players hate them too. 1. when playing a demo, I don't need the story, intro, I want to see pure mechanics. fighting if it's a fighting game, platforming if it's platformer. adding 5min of stories for those genres if I will play only 5 min of your game is ruining everything. save it for the full version. 2. I hate nonskippable text and videos, like in point 1. I'm here for the gameplay, so instead of watching, I like to feel it, to try it, to convince myself that this is something I would pay for. 3. giving a basic options for the player is a must. like turning off the CRT effects, scanlines, screenshake (I hate this one!), changing resolution, run in background, no minimizing when on other screen (it's for streamers, you will thank me later) 4. no feedback button! this is serious problem, instead of joining 124 discord channel, I want to give you a proper feedback with a private survey - in which you can collect my email for further discussions. 5. demo don't need to be super polished, but for god's sakes, don't put harsh and repeatable sounds into it, because it will do bad first impression 6. it's good to have a proper tutorial but it should be totally optional, especially in the demo where I want to experiment, but you've implemented 20min no-skippable tutorial :/ 7. if you can, do the translation for your demo. this is a sign for the players that you're taking care of them. they will likely add +1 in overall score of your demo and it will help you to get those important wishlists. 8. use steam community hub. make a demo thread. just be there, read the messages, help players and take notes. 9 . not limit your demo to 2 weeks or so, some of us are very busy and there are about 50 great games each week, so your demo will be played eventually, but at later time. give the players time and they will repay you in wishlists 10. update your demo along with the full version, some players are very eager to try first and pay later. you don't need to have this big green button al the time, but blue button on the side will help to decide.

@kantallive I think there's a pretty wide spectrum between Disco Elysium and Tetris, and if your game's story and/or setting might appeal to some players, why wouldn't you show it off in the demo

@0atis0 only if this is the demo of Disco Elysium or Baldurs Gate 3. None story games doesn't need 5min story intro

@Blansi93 I'm happy to hear that! you probably will, I'm just making games that I know I'd enjoy

@0atis0 Well, great anyway, I enjoyed REPOSE and I think I'll enjoy this one too

the bullet type matters #metaxiagame #gamedev #gamemaker

@starhoundstudio I'll keep the immersive-sim stuff to the minimum (otherwise I would never finish this game), but there are some fun things you can already do like opening doors from a distance with an energy bullet

@0atis0 Four words and the genre is already telegraphed. The lighting in here is doing immersive-sim work, every shadow looks like it's hiding something useful. 🖤

@Blansi93 not really, there will be some similarities but this is gonna be its own thing

@0atis0 Is this game tied to REPOSE?

@Makkadiver I'm working hard on releasing something playable soon!

@0atis0 everytime you post you edge me just a little bit harder, i wanna play your game already, let me buy it !

@AljmaJames57337 @GameMakerEngine GameMaker supported 3D for quite some time now, some older pixel horror games like IMSCARED were also developed in GameMaker: Studio

@0atis0 @GameMakerEngine Since when has Game Maker supported 3D?

you know a project is serious when you start implementing functioning doors #metaxiagame #gamedev #gamemaker

@tibisoft thanks Tibi! and yeah, it's made entirely in GML

@0atis0 Wow, cool, looks really great! Do you use the built-in 3D function of GM?

@cauboidoespasso thank you!

@0atis0 this looks beautiful!

@St3ve_R thanks and good luck!

@0atis0 Ha I’m literally about to hit this part of my build. Looking really good btw 🔥

@raining_cycles yeah, this way it doesn't affect collision as much

@0atis0 It's pain in the ass if they are not vertical

@ReturnerReign thank you! it's @GameMakerEngine

@0atis0 art is really cool. is it making blender?
