I am currently developing a game called Shoe String Shooter.
I was optimistic about it because in the first two days of it at IndieDB it got 30 watchers or something (OMG!).
But since then I got moderate attention and interest.
SSS is a multiplayer FPS game. This is good because it makes me enjoy playing my own game against other people. On the other hand, playing with other people is crucial for the development of this game, and I usually have to beg people to play my game.
I am not sure that once I release it there will be enough mass of people that will want to play it regularly. And then if there isn't a mass of people, new players will abandon the game because they don't have anyone to play it with.
However, I did develop my framework to support 3D with this game, so it's not a terrible choice.
My thoughts are to finish the first public release in which people will be able to host and join games. I think I won't make a meta server simply because I cannot afford a 24 hours meta server.
If this release won't get an interest, I will just fix bugs and continue low maintainence of the game. And then start a new game.
My thoughts of the next game to do is a smallish mobile 3D game. I think I can do a nice looking 3D game in like 3 months for Android and in the near future port it to iOS as well.
My games always seem to have long development times and very little to no success.
So I am thinking maybe I pick the wrong games to develop.
What do you think of my current game? And what do you think I should do in my next game?
You can take a look at SSS over here:
