  • Hey Orlic,

    I know exactly what you mean, marketing my game is something I'm really not looking forward to!

    This is what I've learned so far following Indie devs on Youtube/blogs etc:

    It helps to have a Twitter/Fbook/Insta page to share Dev progress/news before actual final release of your game.

    Some people have done well running a Kickstarter campaign giving early access/rewards etc.

    A well produced promo/trailer that instantly catches the eye also helps, plus you should have one already linked from youtube to your Googleplay game page.

    Hope that helps.

    Good luck!

  • Hey Radulepy, I download your game. I like the idea but probably too buggy to be released as a finished game. The player doesn't face direction of travel, bullets bounce off trees, zombies overlap player, not sure what red and blue squares are for. Like the graphics, gun sound and joystick (did you program it?) you should also do a trailer and sort the adverts so they display correctly in landscape. Hope that helps, keep up the good work 😀

  • I've now added an HTML5 game to itch.io here:

    Please have a go and see what you think :0)

  • Nice work 👌

  • Thanks for the replies and the OBS suggestion, just screen captured the preview window at 60fps and cropped down in movie studio, perfect thanks.

  • Hi all,

    I'm currently trying to make a promo video that shows gameplay of my android game.

    I've tried using ezvid to record desktop and then opened the preview of bits of the game I want to feature. It's a bit clunky and think frame rate is an issue.

    Should I be recording at 30fps? Or 24fps?

    Is there a better way to record gameplay?

    Should I export as html5 and run it on my website and record it?

    Thanks for any help

  • Anyone??

    I've downloaded Android studio but it's way too complicated.

    All I want is for my app icon to look ok rather than a white border around it.

    Hasn't anyone else had this problem?

  • Does nobody have the same issue?

    My icons look crap on my new phone.

    Is the only way to run Android studio and import the apk there?

    Any chance this will be included in the next update?

    Thanks

  • Ok thanks for the reply, I'll just sell this on.

    Is there a favoured tablet running 5.1 to test on?

    Thanks

  • Hi all,

    I'm trying to test my app on different devices so bought an old acer tablet running Android 5.1 as this is the lowest I will support.

    I've now found out it won't run my game as it doesn't run webgl??? I tried updating as per below.

    I set the runtime back to Construct 2 which uses canvas 2d and my game ran but was all messed up.

    What are we supposed to do as I want to support older devices?

    Do all android 5.1 phones/tablets not support webgl?

    Do I buy every tablet/phone??

    Do I redo my game in Construct 2 runtime and somehow have 2 .apks on googleplay?

    Do I now only support android 6+/7+/8+???

    Help!!!

  • Hi all,

    My demo is nearly done, just a few things to finish!

    I'm testing on various versions of android and the latest using adaptive icons which make my icon look crap with a white border.

    I've read up on the android dev site https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive

    I can't see any tutorial relating to this.

    How do I save the layers in icons in construct?

    Thanks

    Alex
