So first, I've got a couple demos of SBX: Invasion available at IndieDB:
Check out the downloads page at the link below for the FREE DEMO:
Demo Version 1.2 is the latest and contains a completely reworked movement system. No longer will players reverse direction when bouncing off walls, and it splits up the direction from the player facing vector, which were tied together before.
The new movement system won't be released until Update 1.2 but the demo will give you a taste of what is to come with the next update.
Also, marketing sucks. It's one of those things I'm still learning about slowly and making tons of mistakes, but it's hard to get out there as a small, new indie. I've had a few smaller sites and youtube let's players pick up SBX: Invasion, but I still haven't been picked up by any larger sites.
So, I think starting in Jan, I'm going to go for Greenlight with Update 1.2. In addition I think spending a little bit of money on advertising once I start the greenlight process is a wise decision. Right now there aren't enough eyes on the project. The feedback has been good and the game has been refined to get rid of a lot of the things that bugged players or stopped them from enjoying the game to it's fullest.
Update 1.2 should clear up the movement issue which was the last really big thing that I saw from feedback as well as a few other things I have planned.
It's been a slow road, but I'm not giving up. I'll start work on my next project soon but I'll also be spending some time each week to continue marketing and getting info about SBX: Invasion out there.
I'll be out of town for the next couple weeks spending time with various families so I'll try to get back and write another post before the end of the year.
Cheers,
Jason Carter / WakeskaterX
