New trailer for my personal project. I wish I could quit my job instead of spending nights and weekend days working on it. (www.youtube.com)

Think of the game as Vampire Survivors, but instead of you having to move and all the skills are passively activated, now you just stay in one place, but you must actively use the skills. That makes sense because the game has tower defense theme, as the name suggested. There is another difference though, it’s how players progress. My game doesn’t have meta-progression, you don’t have any upgrades outside a run. And the level-up rewards and shop system of the game are strongly inspired by the game Brotato.

I'm working toward a free demo, hopefully, it will be released in a few months.

Good luck with your game! However, if I can make a suggestion:

Think of a way to describe your creation without referencing another game. This might be the only time you're going to get it in front of my eyes, and I know nothing because I've never played the two games you used to compare it to (never even heard of one of them in fact), so I'm not going be hyped or follow it. (While it's true there's a trailer, I'm not in a spot where I can watch it.)

Marketing is important to success, use your limited eyeball time well!

Oh, thanks, helpful advice 👍 I overestimated the popularity of the "B" game 😛, I guess.

This looks very interesting! Keep up the good work.

Don't compare your game to another game which is literally a billion times better. Yours is just space invader in a circle but worse. Sorry but that was a very boring trailer, not highlighting very many interesting customisation if any.

Thank you for being honest. But hey, how dare I compare my side project to those mega super hits? I just used them as references since they are really games that inspired mine. It's not and not meant to be VS or Brotato killer. No. But I do hope and am trying my best to make it have values of its own. Give it a chance when the free demo is out, will you?

That person was insanely harsh for no reason. I'm sure lots of people thought similar things about VS before it took off. Don't sweat it, your game looks cool.
