Please support my game

As many of you might know, I'm a game developer by profession. Finally I get to share with you the latest game I've been team-leading.

The game is current in Greenlight, and needs votes to get a release permit (it's a common procedure for all new games on steam).
Please vote yes, and feel free to ask me any questions regarding the game or game development in general. I'm more than happy to answer.

Steam Greenlight :: Tesla vs Lovecraft

Done.

The premise actually looks super fun lol

Thanks, we too are hyped about the premise. It's a fine line making sure both Tesla and Lovecraft fans like it, and that the people who have no idea who these guys are can still be interested about the game.

It's our custom-made proprietary engine (the engine itself runs on windows/linux/mac/ps4/ps3/xbox1/psvita/android/ios/windows phone/webos/bada/tizen/symbian/blackberry). It's written in c++.

Sadly we don't yet have a dev blog for this game (we really should get one), and our website is waiting for an upgrade (check Tesla vs Lovecraft – It's time to teach lovecraftian nightmare a lesson in horror! ). Hopefully we'll get them done very soon.

that's a long platform list, any reason you didnt use unity/ue

Wayback when our engine was first created, there was no Unity or Unreal (as we know it). For a long time they were not really match for a custom engine, as they had optimization issues, high price tags and limited feature-sets. Today, there's very little reason to go custom. We use it because we have already mastered it, and it is great having 100% control over our code (helps with portability). If there's a problem, we can figure it out immediately. With commercial engines, you have to pay big $$$ to access the source code directly.

That makes sense, that must've been ages ago tho. AAA engines/licenses/prices have come a long way in the last 5 yrs or so.
