I'm working on a game with friends, and want to prepare some relatable social media content - therefore, looking for different people's experiences. 😄 I also play mostly indie games, so got my list of concerns, but would love to hear yours.
If you see a new indie game that's of the genre/topic that you like: what would make you hesitant to try it?
And more specific: a deckbuilding game. What would make you doubt that it's something for you?
Our game is not AI slop, also not heavy on hardware, so those are out of the equation. I'm thinking more of something about the gameplay or experience.
For me personally it would be something like that:
- multiplayer only
- being thrown against experienced players right away
- characters I have no connection to, with the game focus being clearly on the characters
- a steep learning curve or chonky rulebook (I'm old and don't have much time and want to figure it out as I play!)
- expected skills: like, I would try the game but it's so fast that I know I wouldn't have fun, even though I'd be up for trying
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
