Hi everyone !
We literally worked for months in our first game SRX after posting its prototype last summer.
It is a flying vehicles racing game meant to become an online multiplayer game, melting Trackmania and Mario Kart / Crash Team Racing.
We put a lot of efforts to make reliable systems in order to offer a great user experience.
Among others, we have:
- An easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master gameplay
- An interactive tutorial to learn how to drive vehicles
- A Very easy-to-use Control Mapper for Keyboard/Mouse and Gamepads
- A Glyph System showing the player the game controls using its preferred Gamepad (Xbox and Playstation ones for the moment)
- A track system to easily create new tracks and in the future make it available to players to let them create the tracks they want
- Deeply customizable Options such as Graphics, Controls, Audio, Camera, Interface, Language
But, is it worth it ?
We just began our journey but barely got a few downloads so for now, the short answer is no.
We never made it a single minute to the front page, not even in Fresh Games. Our social media ads campaign does not show its potential for now.
And aside from that, games developed in days during jams get as much or more views, boosting and downloads.
So, would we put the same efforts and time to release our game knowing that ?
YES!
We believe that players would be thankful if every game studio put as much efforts to please the player and offer him the best user experience it can as we did ! Our efforts are limited due to the fact that we are only two developers and a part-time sound designer but yes, we did as much as we could to please the player and dream of big studios doing the same thing for us.
All our systems are strong, stable, reusable, and we aim to use them in future updates and projects.
We believe in our game and would be really glad to have constructive feedback to boost our efforts !
I'd rather have a thousand bad but constructive reviews and learn a lot from them than the few good feedbacks we have for now.
Please tell us what you think of our game and feel free to give us any kind of feedback, it would help us a lot to go further and reach our ambitious goals as long as yours:
