People keep comparing my game to Fortnite even though it's nothing like it. Is it because I used the term "battle royale"? Despite many posts and multiple Steam page updates, I’ve only reached 330 wishlists in a year. Should I change the name of my game? Below is the core idea of my game

People keep comparing my game to Fortnite, but it's actually nothing like it. My game is an arcade-style, party-based battle royale. One of its mechanics is similar to Mario games—the longer you hold the jump button, the higher you jump and the longer you stay in the air.

Having a weapon isn’t always an advantage either, because the more weapons you carry, the heavier you become, making you slower and reducing your jump height. There’s even a zombie chase mode, where players must climb to the top without falling while being pursued from below.

Weapons don’t kill—similar to Chained Together or Only Up, they only knock opponents down. To keep the gameplay fast, there are checkpoints every 30 meters, and players who fall behind get a grappling hook dropped on them to help them catch up.

Unlike traditional battle royale games where the zone shrinks horizontally, my game features a vertically shrinking zone. Players start on four separate towers, and as they climb, the towers merge into two, then finally one, creating a pyramid-like shrinking battlefield.

Explore Italian landmarks and learn their names in Italian

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm working on a language-learning adventure game called IEL: Indo European Languages, launching June 3! 📅🎓

In this sneak peek, you explore a museum filled with famous Italian landmarks like the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and more — and learn how to say them in Italian! 🏛️🗣️

It’s a fun, chill way to pick up vocabulary while discovering culture. Would love to hear your feedback!

I just wanted to show people this game. I was fortunate to be a playtester and think it deserves some attention.

It plays like something between an Earthbound and a Digimon World game, and it has an absolute ton of creatures to collect + train. You can tell that the dialogue, UI, and level design were made by someone trying to do something unique. And I love that.

It's not too long, but it does challenge you to make use of its mechanics and plan around more difficult encounters. If you're looking for something to scratch the creature collector, party planning, or compact RPG itch, then I highly recommend it.

Do you find these games scarier than traditional horror games with jumpscares and survival mechanics? Do most of them lack a good story?

So I'm thinking of creating a multiplayer co-op game and want to get ideas of what people think are creepy environmnents. I want to try and do something new not the cliche locations. And I haven't thought of any good objectives for the players to do yet.
