Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...

I literally made an indie game to fill in this gap. It’s local coop and was designed for kids and parents to play together.
It’s called:
INK INSIDE (PC now, all consoles soon)
Brain David Gilbert voices the lead: Stick the stick figure. The whole cast are children’s drawings come to life living in a kids notebook that’s getting corrupted by a slow leak dripping water into their world and warping them into “sog” monsters.
It’s a game based on a lost pilot to a Nickelodeon show, and as such is both a cartoon and action RPG with a narrative that follows the first season of what you used to see on Saturday Morning.
It’s pretty much what you’re looking for imo, but since we’re indie, marketing has not been treating us well 😅
Reception from our intended younger audience has been glowing. Just harder to sell to kids as they don’t have money 😑
This looks awesome!
It checks a lot of boxes for me:
I’ve never heard about this before, so I’m glad you shared. It looks like it’d be great to play with my nephew. Hope you can make the sequels!

Thank you so much! Very proud of what we’ve made, as we made it exactly for people like you! 🙂 Hope you enjoy and thanks for sharing the link!
Sweet! Now i have something to gift my nephew and play together!
Awesome! Thank you so much! We love the support! And I’m sure you’ll both get a kick out of it 😁

I thought the name of the game sounded familiar, so I ended up looking at the Steam page and I was right when Stumpt did a video on it, pretty sure. Definitely gonna have to at least check out the demo because it looks interesting enough.
Looked it up and they definitely did a video on it. Sk definitely gonna at least check out the demo. Hope sales pick up.

Thank you so much! 😁
We lucked out and got some love from some great streamers like Stumpt, Atlas Anarchy, Blazekin, and some others. All organically through promoting the game at places like PAX and LA Comicon.
But since a good amount of that attention was before we launched, it mostly translated to wishlists. (Which certainly still helps).
Regardless, BOTH wishlists and reviews do amazing for us - so if you enjoy the “First Page” demo, let us know! 🙂
And thanks again!
