Post for Trailer Tuesday – No new Trailer
Hey everyone!
#TrailerTuesday is here! I’m excited to share my first-ever cinematic trailer for Rise of the Village Hero.

Originally, this trailer was part of the game, but it was later removed due to some negative feedback. Additionally, there were issues with scene loading times that caused a flashing effect, making the game appear broken, although it wasn’t.
I based my decision primarily on the feedback I received. While feedback can sometimes be harsh, I believe it’s essential for us as game developers to embrace both the good and the bad and use it to grow.
Here’s the original feedback and why it wasn’t well-received:
“Sounds like an AI voice”: It’s actually my own voice recorded in Audacity with reduced pitch. I tried to make myself sound like an old man, but clearly, I still have a few more years before I sound truly aged! 😁
“I can barely hear what it says”: I apologise for this. I thought the audio was at a reasonable volume level.
So, I decided to remove it from the game but kept it on Steam. Why? Because I still believe it effectively tells the backstory of what happened before the game begins.
I might re-record the lines in the future or hire a professional voice actor if resources allow.
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on my game. Even the most critical feedback can be valuable if you break it down. As an indie developer, it’s important to consider all feedback, as it can help improve your game for others.
