#22I watched the video on the Steam site and I dont understand the game at all. At one point it sort of looks like a modern version of snake. But that it is not. It sort looks like they are running over a circuit board. What are those green v shapes mean? Then perhaps Pacman Seems a bit Pacman. Gobble energy pellets?
Whether the game mechanics are totally obvious from a video or not is pretty game-dependent. The voiceover made it clear enough what was going on to me.

#23Just ordered, although the low price buckets it into "probably not worth it". I'd price it ~$10 and do a discount instead.

#24Does it work on a Steamdeck?

#25How'd you stay motivated enough for 3 months? Were you'll really that passionate about this game idea?

#26Congrats on the launch! I would say though I think you should up your price to at least $9.99. A $3 game makes me think it's low quality, which it's not. So you ought to price your game appropriately.
Pricing is a funny thing. You'd think lower prices would lead to more demand.
It is strange. Games have well defined pricing tiers that players and developers have worked out over time. $3 is generally considered somewhere between "trash you buy as a joke" and "a very short game without much in it". Does anyone know if there's any other markets that work like this? I can't think of any.
Games going on sale at launch also makes me assume its just because no one is buying it, but apparently more people buy games at launch if it says they're on sale. I don't get it.

Wasn't Vampire Survivors originally 2.99? I just checked, it's 4.99 now but I think it was cheaper in the beginnings.
The point is, 2.99 is a "no think" price tag, while 9.99 is a "wishlist and consider when discounted" price tag.
Bu that's only my tl;dr of this blog post: https://howtomarketagame.com/2022/01/31/vampire-survivors-su...

Disagree. If you agree, buy it and leave a review.

#29Did you end up using GDScript or C#?
In the screenshot of the DLC it shows GDScript.

Err... most things. Furniture for example.
