Solo game dev working on StarDrift Delivery

[Infernitz @infernitz]

SUPER excited to share that StarDrift Delivery is out now on Steam!!!

It is a fast-paced arcade roguelite inspired by Crazy Taxi, and my first solo indie game. Check it out!

My indie game didn't get much traction so... I decided to work on a major update based on feedback.

Probably smarter to just do marketing or move on but I felt like I had to make it better :)

Making games is all fun and stuff until.. Marketing.

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@Toadzillart Thanks, means a lot! But aren't festivals primarily for unreleased games?

[Infernitz @infernitz]

I've struggled to find my game's audience maybe because it's experimental, not a genre that's "hot" on Steam.

Should indie devs think more about the genre perhaps?

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@0xVe1L Hearing that means a lot, thank you so much! :)

I'm definitely happy with the result since I tried to do my best but yes - feedback would still be super helpful if it's things I can improve at this point

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@ExplodinBeef Added it now ^

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@ExplodinBeef Thanks! There is a demo actually, just didn't add the big green button for it

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@0xVe1L Thanks, that gives me a lot to reconsider and think about actually

I think a mistake I also made was having low pre-release wishlists because I just wanted to get this over with, don't know if it could've turned out differently

Will keep these points in mind for game 2 for sure

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@BeanJuiceStudio Yeah, def a skill I need to work on 100%

Haven't worked on content but didn't convert well in the Steam algorithm, so guess can't rely on it without external visibility first

[Infernitz @infernitz]

StarDrift Delivery didn't perform well after all. Stings but can't deny I've learned a lot over the past 10+ months.

Have already started working on game 2. No giving up as long as possible :)

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@BeanJuiceStudio Thank you so much! I've been reaching out to content creators but most seem to expect a paid campaign apparently :/

[Infernitz @infernitz]

Been exactly a week since I launched StarDrift Delivery on steam and haven't even hit 10 reviews yet, not sure if I should just move on to the next game

@anime_aragon Thank you!!

[Infernitz @infernitz]

Just hit 10 reviews on my game after a week!

Not a great launch and don't know where this will go but still super happy to see it :)

@KKindiegame Thank you, hopefully I do get noticed!

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@lukewarmzen Thanks!

[Infernitz @infernitz]

@Esty8nine Yeah definitely lots to learn though honestly I am still hopeful about it being picked up
