This last week I’ve been mostly working on wrapping things up for an internal alpha build of DarkMaus. I’ve been polishing, tweaking difficulty, and doing some boring-but-necessary stuff like an installer and compatibility.
It’s going to be really exciting for me to have people play it and get feedback. It’s always interesting to hear people’s fresh perspective, since I am too close to it for that. When I think back to some of the most valuable feedback I’ve gotten, I usually didn’t realize that it was going to make a better game right away. It took a couple more people saying the same thing for me to try some changes, and then bam! the improvement was clear.
Awesome! I recently found this game on Reddit and I’m stoked to play this! Keep up the good work!
Also, if you get enough people to try it out and make it a good alpha, you can try Steam Green light! It can be a great tool to get people’s attention as there are awesome games that get green lit. Once you make your account, go to Steam green light at the bottom of the Steam store and click on Concept. Here is what concept is:
If you have an early game or software concept that you’d like to get in front of potential customers, you can post them here to get feedback and reaction. Posting in the concept section allows you to create a page that supports the same features as normal Greenlight items such as discussions and comments. The voting here serves only to give the developer data and reactions and doesn’t work toward getting the game distributed on Steam.
