Hi everyone,
When we talk about what makes a video game successful, it’s not just about great graphics or big marketing. From a development point of view, success often starts with a strong core idea and making sure the gameplay actually feels fun during the early stages.
Developers also focus on smooth performance, easy controls, clean UI, and fixing issues through regular testing. Listening to early player feedback is another huge factor, sometimes it guides major improvements before launch.
Some studios, like GamesDapp, put extra effort into building games that can scale, update easily, and stay engaging over time.
What do you think matters most in creating a successful game? Let’s talk!

I totally agree that the “feel” of the gameplay is everything. You can have the best graphics in the world, but if the core loop isn’t engaging, players won’t stick around. I also think high-quality trailers and devlogs are crucial for building hype.
When recording gameplay clips for those logs, managing file sizes and formats can be a pain. I usually refer to this list of https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/mkv-editors.html to find tools that handle high-res footage without losing quality. It’s a lifesaver for quick edits.
