Shameless #horror / #halloween themed #selfpromo Day 11 🎃

That burgeoning series needed a side-story, hence this distant prequel made in #EasyFPSEditor

That #soundtrack... 🎧😊

Screenshot from retro-styled FPS "Underlier Gaiden: The Ancient". As relatively grounded as the previous games in the series had been, "-Gaiden" is gleefully anachronistic: the game is supposedly set around the tenth century - this isn't going to keep the player from mowing down enemies with what is essentially a flamethrower...

Screenshot from retro-styled FPS "Underlier Gaiden: The Ancient". The player has gone underground. The glowing eyes and inhuman voices of the former villagers are but a hint of the strangeness to come.

Also pictured: a cluster of pellets from an enemy's blunderbuss. The player's current weapon shoots blades.

That looks like great fun.
Question though; can it actually lift the Cybertruck? 😆

I'm not even sure to ask really, to begin with. Do the controls translate well? Or is there a setup for players launching it initially? Do the settings also translate well, for camera speed etc?

I've been wondering if a guide would be needed on the community pages.

Be sure to check out Fantastic Findings next time you visit #steam 🎄

Updating my store assets 1½ hour before #Steamnextfest went live, was totally the right decision. 👩‍🍳😘

63 reviews and positive, I'd say it's definitely good! - The generated maps really look beautiful even by itself. I can see folks really into this genre play this almost forever!

My only feedback is.. Just based on the trailer; how about Snow biomes? 😁🌨️

A really nice playthrough of Fantastic Finding's demo!

I really enjoyed that; even though I am really scared every time I watch people play my game! 😅

But check out Matt Plays' video, if you're curious about the demo :)

That's great to hear! I also imagine it's a game people could enjoy over the holidays, where they go travel and bring their Steam Deck. Sadly, I don't have one (yet)

I've not learned exactly yet, how to setup compatibility as visible on the store page, but I'll find out next month :D (hopefully)

This is going to be interesting! My game is on the Puzzle front page of #steamnextfest 🙀

Perfect timing that I updated the capsule with lots of community feedback for today! 🙌

Ask for feedback online on your creative projects. Really, do it!

It’s easier to know if you are going the right directions, if ideas work or not.

Feedback isn’t personal criticism. It is personal development - and not all feedback has to be followed to a Tee

Updated small capsule!

Now it looks like a Hidden Object Game!

Line Bering - Making Fantastic Findings @bering.bsky.social · 2d

Amazing feedback, thank you! A few more have also suggested moving the tree with the text, so I'll try and do that!

It's so awesome seeing a lot of the feedback is very similar, it shows it's going in the right direction!

I hope to have the updated version on steam in a few hours

Line Bering - Making Fantastic Findings @bering.bsky.social · 2d

The magnifying glass I'd probably keep though - as it's a staple for Hidden Object games.

I'll do more work too on the character!

Line Bering - Making Fantastic Findings @bering.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks for the feedback, it's really useful. I think in that case, on the larger capsules I'll keep it centered, although on the small to make room for the extra size character + magnifying glass, I'd need to move it to the side.

But I could see if I could move the tree to align too.

Line Bering - Making Fantastic Findings @bering.bsky.social · 2d

I'm planning to update my steam Capsule today; just as Steam Next Fest begins. 🙈

Old vs New (new is still wip)
What's good. What's not?

Which one is people's preference? All feedback appreciated.
