Hey, this update is absurd in the best way, manually operated artillery with ballistics computers, procedural dungeons five times bigger, and now nukes that level entire fleets, that's an incredible amount of scope for one update. The writing style cracked me up too, "are they really there if there is no player to witness them" is a great line.

With content this dramatic, nuke strikes, artillery hits from 16km out, dungeon raids, feels like there's huge short-form potential here. Are you doing any video content to show this stuff off, or is it mostly living in the devlog screenshots right now? A clip of one of those nukes going off alone feels like it could stop people mid-scroll.

Hi, i have plans for 3 youtube clips, I still have to finish the 0.13.0 update clip, an artillery tutorial and the 0.14.0 update video. Unfortunately my motivation is dwindling when it comes to video editing so i end up delaying them. :(

Yeah, I completely understand that. I’ve actually heard the same thing from quite a few indie devs. They can spend weeks building an update and have all these amazing things happening in the game, but when it comes to turning everything into videos, editing starts feeling like another project on top of development, so the videos keep getting pushed back.

And honestly, I think your game deserves to be in front of more of the right players. With things like the artillery system, procedural dungeons and those huge-scale combat moments, there’s already a lot there that can make people curious about the game.

Out of curiosity, beyond the videos you're planning, what have you been doing so far to get the game in front of the right audience and bring more people into it?

And would you be open to a few suggestions around the visibility side? I have a couple of ideas after looking through the game that I think could be worth considering.

Not a big fan of marketing, i prefer to concentrate as much as possible on developing rather than finding an audience, if there is none i don't mind. Even if i were planning to bring more eyes on Adro, it is not ready, there are many issues with physics, graphics and onboarding, since i chose to go wide (many features but unpolished) as opposed to high (very few features but very polished) it takes a lot longer to get Adro ready for a larger audience.
