I hate how most trailers say nothing about how a game actually plays. Somehow the most important aspect of a game is secondary and instead you just get cutscenes and cinematic nonsense that has nothing to do with anything. Super Snail Boy does a great job showcasing the gameplay in its trailer

re: the capsule of dorf romantik, something i’ve said many times to people, a distinctive logo looks good when drawn in just black and white. you gotta focus on clean shapes/forms that read well without anything fancy, and then selectively and carefully add those elements back if you want.

Just curious, I saw that you updated your tags since this video and was curious if your discovery queue numbers actually went up like was predicted? And if so by how much did it increase?

God, I hate clicking through a trailer (exactly like he said) and there's little to no game play. That's all I want :(

I agree, I hate when steam pages don't even have gameplay in their trailer at all.. only cinematics and graphics tht have nothng to do with the actual gameplay. I usually just leave the steam page and go on youube to watch an actual gamplay video as soon as Isee that the trailer doesn't have any.

this guy knows what he's talking about, yeah thats exactly how i shop! i refuse to buy games that don't show game play in their trailer. just makes me think "oh ur trying to over emphasise the narrative because the game play sucks.

Of course people skip watching trailers, and skip straight to screenshots, when every f*(&#$ game trailer on the market obscures or leaves out totally the gameplay... people are so dumb who create that. Nobody ever since the creation of video games sold games by showing large inspiring animated text on screen with some random graphics you will never see in the game...
People would love to watch trailers and would ignore screenshots, if only they went straight to the point, after investing, paying, installing, okay, then show the intro, story and win peoples hearts...
I would be happy to be proven that I am wrong.

So true, I always look for videos from the game. If the game is like over 5 EU I go to discussions to search for what other plp say about it. I started my project where I will play a demo/free new game a day. Demos are really cool way to sell.

A veces uno como desarrollador se sorprende por lo informado aquí, pero es justamente la manera como nosotros nos comportamos como compradores; y es cierto, miramos los screenshot, no miramos los tráilers, revisamos si está en "juegos similares", si es parte de una franquicia que nos asegure un buen juego, salteamos demasiado los tráileres, etc. Todo un de detalle esto.

As a frequent steam player, who very recently started working on my first game, I can confirm that pretty much everything he said was accurate in my case. The capsule needs to look interesting to click. Like half the games I get (or more) come from the Recommended "Because you played..." section of the store. I rarely watch an entire trailer (there's just too many to browse). I never read the "second trailer" section - just skim images usually. Usually my priorities are (in order) -
1. What does the gameplay look like.
2. How are the reviews.
3. Is there an interesting or unique aspect to the game (Ed McMillen's art for example can really get my attention). I'm not really into roguelikes, but I bought binding of Isaac based on its art, rather than gameplay, and found I enjoyed the gameplay. It's a rare case where story and/or art gets me to buy a game, even if I'm unsure about the gameplay.

But the top top priority is always - does the gameplay look fun. I care a lot about excellent story aspects, like in Disco Elysium or Celeste, for example, but I usually don't know if that's good or the extent of it until I'm in the game - it usually ends up being a bonus and not the reason for buying a game, unless I hear about the game from somebody else or in the reviews.

I believe that in the future, AI, will likely have the capability to effortlessly create entire games with just a click. However, it's essential to consider the various stages that will precede this transformative development. Initially, AI may primarily assist human game developers rather than completely taking over the creative process. Already, many individuals receive assistance from AI in the form of generating images, codes, and stories—a trend that is already underway.

During this transitional phase, we can expect to witness a prolonged period where AI helps humans in game creation. Subsequently, as AI-generated content becomes widespread on the Internet, there is a possibility that it may lead to a certain level of uniformity or generic content. However, it is also conceivable that this might not be the case. Following this influx of AI-generated content, a resurgence of creative efforts by human developers may emerge, leading to a new era of innovative and diverse games.

Simultaneously, the implementation of laws regulating AI usage is likely to become more prevalent. Challenges such as limitations in hardware, data availability, and financial constraints will continue to play a significant role in shaping the extent of AI's impact. As a result, there may be periods of restriction and control over AI capabilities until a breakthrough discovery occurs. This breakthrough could involve new methods for optimizing AI, leaving us with uncertainties about the full range of its capabilities.

The danger of making your steam page too early is that people in the target audience might hit ignore and never see your game again
