Here's the new trailer! Included more locations to show environment variety this time, and couple of new mechanics, how does it look? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Unfortunately I'm not that rich to create throwaway pages for that purpose haha, so I guess I'll just have to think really carefully before locking the final name

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I think it's a bit too dark as well, especially when I put it next to other steam capsules for testing. Still tweaking the colors, I think I'm gonna make it brighter and increase overall contrast

As for wishlists clicks, I haven't done any testing, because as far as I know after publishing your Steam Page you have to contact Steam support for changing the name And it probably wouldn't be nice to exploit the system, especially considering support might not even do it after the request

That's an interesting point! I thought of Iron Beak as of nickname for the protagonist, since it's basically armored bird, so it's sort of narrative naming. Beak Breaker for me is exactly how you described, and I think it conveys the gameplay and pace better.

Working on a new capsule, this time trying to convey what game actually looks like by adding forest background Also considering changing the name of the game to "Iron Beak" or "Beak Breaker". Playtest revealed that parrying isn't exactly the core of the game #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Playing around with a shotgun! I really like how shotgun projectiles bounce off walls in Nuclear Throne, so I decided to add that mechanic to my game as well #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Here are some chicken-hostages designs! Trying to give them personality while keeping them similar #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Implementing towers! You can't directly kill an enemy on a tower, but you can hit the tower so enemy falls off. Still tweaking animations and sorting, but I already like it #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
