Comments: 14
Video hit 30+ playlists from different countries and they shared 60+ times.

The bulk of the traffic occurred on social media and various Internet resources, including habrahabr.

After the publication of the video in a few days, we witnessed the highest jump of user activity, after which it became a moderately stable in quantity 12-20 hits per hour.

Overall, we are satisfied with the result for three reasons:

1) We were able to collect more than a hundred hits, so we managed to arouse the interest of a certain number of potential users;
2) got a good feedback.
3) Hit the top 10 organic delivery youtube we are interested in the queries.

Feedback


Feedback we received a variety, the vast majority are positive, but the greatest interest now are well-grounded negative reviews or reviews with criticism of specific details. This allows you to make changes and adjustments in the early stages of development, while the product has not yet been published.

About some we know are, for example, the visual component of the gameplay part, which we are currently working very actively. Someone did not like the music, someone not really liking the setting and style. These things are for the most part to the preferences of the individual and to adjust them for every one, alas, will not work.

But one question we were asked most often in different variations. The common denominator, it reads: and what is your game different from other runners? Indeed, 20 seconds to show all plans that were simply unrealistic (of course if you are not developing just a runner).

For this, it was decided to write a short description of the product and to make a separate announcement of the game earlier than it was planned, in which we talk about what is the project MonsterBeast.

Description


working version looks like this:

Game:
Genre: 2D runner platformer with RPG elements.
Developer: Hell Mushrooms
Release date: September 15, 2017

MonsterBeast is a fun platformer with sauce of irony, peppered with references and allusions, and abundantly watered hardcore.

• Background — anthropomorphic animal world, struck a hell of a virus
• The main character — a modified Ostrich
• Enemies — the beast-monsters from the neighboring high-tech measurement
• Goal is to clear the Land from the evil virus
• Medium — upgrade your Ostrich, RUN, SHOOT, DESTROY!

In MonsterBeast we've created a world that reflects our modernity.
A grotesque cartoon world show a familiar and everyday things from a new angle, and hardcore and drive will not give the player bored.
Even an ordinary Ostrich can become a superhero!

Features:


1) Automatic change of running direction
2) Custom control
— One hand controls the character
— Second hand (swipe) to kill enemies (for example Fruit ninja)
— When changing the direction of running change management (if you jumped with his left hand, and slushily right, when you change the direction of the hands will change to the opposite)
3) boss Battles
4) RPG Elements.
Character needs to be pumped. Standard the four characteristics that we have tried to link interestingly with the physical capabilities of the character.
Separately, it will be a small satellite, which will have its own characteristics and features.
5) Farm
The player can create their own small "farm" that will produce different useful things for your character. The farm also could be improved.
6) Different level of difficulty as the skill of the player (changes optional). The play can be as complicated as "super Mario", and to the difficulty of "Dark Souls". You choose.
7) Dailies, viklicky, achivy and quests.
Yes, that too.
8) the Social component.
— Leaderboards
— Competitions
Group
— Group jobs

Gameplay video


In order to convey this information to the General public, we recorded another video where all this tell. The movie broken English (which is written by the doctors and we are singing bourgeois songs), but I think for our community it will not be a problem.

the
