I think the lack of communicative updates is something I'm personally more concerned about.
No Twitter or other social media for interaction with followers or those who have purchased on itch.
No Patreon or other crowdfunding/donation & communication connection.
Too many times have I seen something with great potential fall off the map in a similar way to this.
Devs being extremely ambitious and possibly getting buried/burnt out. And not being able to put out regular working updates, so they don't communicate.
Please if you want people to trust that the development of this game is active.
At minimum set up a Twitter.
Ideally a Patreon or SubStar & a Trello board.
And communicate what is being worked on regularly. Check in at least once a month. Show graphical updates. Discuss advances in the coding &/or UI functionality. Ask the indie gaming community for advice openly if you face roadblocks or struggles.
As a game dev. Part of gaining trust is showing an active presence.
If you simply dig in and are working on it for months on end but in silence, people will not have faith in you or your project.
Because they've been let down way too many times.
This project seems amazing. I want to see it grow and succeed.
Silent indie Devs often don't.
So please don't be a silent Dev. Don't be part of that pattern.
