What do you think about my upcoming game "Ostrofa"?

[DaveCarterGaming]

Hello guys! I am not really sure if I posted my previous thread about the game in the correct section. Please excuse me for that if you can. I am reposting here because it fits "Feedback" section more.

A few months ago I started working as a one-man team on my first low-poly survival game Ostrofa in addition to my day job as a software engineer.
Making games alone is very, very hard and time-consuming, but the best part about it is that you can make all the decisions yourself.
I did not get a lot of sleep for the last four months, but I feel that it was absolutely worth it and I feel very proud of what I've done so far.
I still have a long way to go, but to keep me motivated, I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback about the current progress of the game.
I know I am being very optimistic, but currently, I plan to get the beta version out by the mid-summer this year.

Yesterday I released official announcement trailer:



This is the official website where you can register for the beta, find more info about the game and support future development:

Best,
Normunds

The game looks a bit like Polycraft but way better.
Gotta say man , you really have done a great job and I hope this project goes well.
How do you intend to increase it's player base when it is released. It can be pretty tough but I'm sure this will be a success.

Well done.

Thank you!
This is why I am trying to create a small community months before beta with anyone who would be interested in the game and help with advice. Maybe at some point, I would need to look for a publisher or run Kickstarter campaign to get some funding for marketing and everything else.
I would love to continue the discussion with all of you on Discord as well: https://discord.gg/kxAYj8k[DOUBLEPOST=1552096670][/DOUBLEPOST]

If you reserve the name Deleted User Deleted User 147415 for me in your game i will play.

You will be able to create an account starting from beta access period and reserve that name for your character yourself!

This actually looks nice. Sort of a Bedwars 2.0 here.
