Facebook can be hit and miss I reckon. Very algorithm based these days

Not at this stage.  But I'll look into something soon.

Wasn't Lightslayer made under Mac os 9 or something? haha

Not sure what you mean there but 32bit windows 7 sounds awesome. I still run that haha.

Which Mac os are you running.? 

Are you using stuffit? Try unzipping with the unarchiver. Make sure all games are 64bit if using Catalina and higher which looks like you are. Do a system update check and check drivers. If you are running and Intel based Mac install windows on it aswell using bootcamp. It's much easier having the best of both worlds. 

It's not my game I just found it

No worries. I find sharing it on socials gets lost and buried but actual solid links continue traffic. The more the better.

Forums and blogs are your friends. YouTube if you can get some decent coverage but the algorithm isn't your friend. Good luck 

Be patient. Don't ask for much. Interact with people both Devs and players. Be consistent and increase your following slowly over time. Taken me almost 3 years to get 166 followers 

Facebook, online blogs. Had not much success with YouTube or discord. I try to use forums and actually websites now. Permanent links. Good luck

Try 'The Arcane Relics'.

I had fun with it. I'll have another try soon 

Downloaded the doom shareware on a 56k dial up. Good times

Can't call em boomer shooters boomers ended in 1964. Hard to see a 29 year old playing doom on release. More like millennial shooters or Gen X

Looks great. The elder scrolls arena clone would be awesome!

This game is awesome. It's some kind of medieval sandbox open world game that features split screen play if desired. It even ran ok on 256mb integrated gpu on a core 2 duo. Hours of fun here check it out!!

This looks awesome. Added to my collection. Check out the collections I've put together. Heaps of similar games. The first person collection has over 100 games. Lots of dungeon crawlers!

Time is money money is time

Whats the pay rate?

Tough gig never known anybody to play games on an occulus 

Just tagged it as game soundtracks. I used some in my own games and just share it all free. I don't really use Bandcamp at all anymore just never had much interest there. Get way more on here.

Just go for it and start selling soundtracks on here or Bandcamp. To be honest I've had better financial success with music on here. I had a couple of steam games coming out with some Devs using my music but I think they might have fallen through 

Happy new year. Hopefully 2025 is a great year for everyone!

Wooohooo

'Influences Daggerfall and Kings Field'

Looks awesome 

Start small. Set realistic goals and milestones 

Be patient. Check back in a few weeks

No point unless you are aiming at kids. Most people born before 2000 won't know what it is. I get people all the time asking what it is. Most people assume it's just another Facebook. Same with twitch it's just a YouTube clone.

Wouldn't bother although I found some helpful stuff on there but not really worth having for most adults going forward

Still up if anybody needs some free  low poly models

Try my darkness over Hemwick series. It's very like old school zelda

I'll tell ya why people don't trust steam. DRMs plus they still sell games on there that's don't really run on windows 10-11. There is also terrible support. Windows 8 support dropped on their launcher. Windows 8 is from what 2013?? They dropped support for Mac os Mojave in February 2024. An operating system from 2018. I'd be pretty pissed if I'd paid for games only to get a few years out of them. The gen Z kids don't know any better so they just go along with it. I only found out what steam was during COVID. I've spoken the numerous people around the 30-40 age group and they refuse to buy into this online DRM type of stuff. I'd say the days of these big Ubisoft/Steam type subscriptions are probably past their prime. GoG has no DRMs people trust it so they use it.  It's a much better business model. 

Try Unity you can get away with little coding knowledge 

Are you talking about that old program where you made your own maze? Like a dungeon crawler type thing

I wouldn't be concerned most people on here don't what win 95 is
