When are you going to give up on the game dev dream /v/? You won't be the next Edmund McMillen, Daisuke Amaya or Toby Fox. Odds are nobody will buy your game.

Maybe their publisher should have marketed the fucking game? Moron

This. Games needs to have memes around and reviewer-videos before release.

There's your prob. Shit tier marketing. I normally come across their games a good 2 or 3 weeks after release, if I even come across them at all. On the flip side, a publisher like Critical Reflex, for example, will be fucking my inbox almost daily a good 2 months before a release, with press materials and keys. Even mid games get decent steam traction just based on their marketing alone.

Buy an ad for your shitty game, dev

Most people are wildly delusional about what people want to play. Boss Rush games are an extremely small niche.

How is sotc story rich retard, there's like 5 lines of dialogue in the game
>>
>>733506081
soulsfags are so brainrotted they think an almost nonexistent story actually secretly means it's one of the deepest stories ever told.
zanzibart, forgive me

>>733505675
Story rich boss rush is a great combination it just hasn't been done right.
>Furi
The story sucks and the repetitive pacing with those one-sided monologues is so awful.
>SotC
Again repetitive pacing and one-sided monologues (weird, huh?) but with the added problem that the bosses being puzzles means fights lose steam once you understand what to do. Plus not much replay value.

Idk what else there is in this category but it absolutely can be done it just requires great writing and designers who know how to keep the fight/story yin and yang full of twists and variety. Few games have great writing of course

Someone was giving away keys to their indie game on 4chan I redeemed it and never launched it, I forgot the name too.
It's hard to stand out these days.
