- Mediocre controls: having a strategy game in 3 dimensions is a challenge specially for the controls part, this need to feel responsive and intuitive from the beginning. This is a challenge that I underestimated and while I manage to improved them a lot during EA, they still seem lacking. Its hard to put in words, these issues are not something specific that you can point at and fix, this requires careful planning, testing and a LOT of polishing.
- Not notorious enough: the market is too saturated so you need something that will make the player stop his browsing and read. A game being good enough is not enough, it needs to be notorious. Also everything seems to be ruled by "Power Law" so if you don't get visibility from the start, its gonna be harder to get it later.
- Too niche: its a strategy game, in space, with roguelite elements, with 3 dimensional movement, no multiplayer, no modding, no AAA assets, short duration, etc. Its a good combination but too casual for the hardcore RTS gamers and too hadcore for the rest, its in a difficult middle ground.[/quote]el mercado de los rts/simuladores espaciales esta muy duro, el publico es reducido y especializado... conocen mucho sobre muchos juegos similares y han de comparar cada detalle... hay que prometer mucho para atraer desde el comienzo lo que hace los proyectos mas riesgosos y largos...bien, espero las ventas mejoren y tengas exitos en otros proyectos
