Good morning, gents
1 month replace: 5 evaluations, 47 gross sales, USD$179. Gained precisely 100 wishlists since launch. 
I believe it is truthful to name this a failure most abject certainly.
A speculation as to why is that Omnigon has been described on my own as a metroidvania, which is kind of technically true. however metroidvania enjoyers are likely to need sick upgrades and tight fight and candy platforming. gameplay stuff, y’know. however Omnigon just isn’t that, the attraction of this sport is in poking your head right into a room and seeing what humorous factor is inside. in that method it shares extra in widespread with the earthboundesque RPGs than with the metroidesque platformers.
clearly I could not have known as it an RPG as a result of that is flatly false. however by some means concentrating on the quirky RPG guys because the viewers somewhat than metroidvania guys would have been sensible. How precisely that is imagined to be finished although is somewhat past me.
as a substitute of adjusting up the communication I might have foreseen this downside and adjusted the sport. what if it did additionally characteristic competent fight and such? the metroidvania guys would have loved it way more, and little question that will have regarded good in trailers and maybe additionally screenshots.
That is the persistent downside, and its extra acute manifestation is that when launch time got here there was no pre-existing neighborhood round this sport in any respect. An indication of a assured incoming failure. A mistake made months in the past was to proceed engaged on Omnigon even because the dialogue round it was characterised by silence and crickets. Whereas the sport was very enjoyable to make I ought to most likely have deserted a lot earlier on in order to keep away from losing a lot time.
So, what I would intention to do in future is to solely make investments massive chunks of time into video games which have already gathered a bit of viewers from the outset. and to spend extra time on figuring out the goal communities and trojan-horsing my sport into their discussions with earnest participation in these teams, and prime quality self-promotion.
Proper, properly that is most likely all for Omnigon, thanks for studying my partitions of textual content
