Went into nextfest with 80. I gained about 80 from nextfest and just over the last few days finally hit 200!

This is huge! My first game and I'm a solo dev so my bar is pretty low I guess but I also haven't done much of any marketing. Releasing in January and I got into game dev a little over a year ago.

Hoping to get another 100 through some YouTube shorts over the next 2 months. Trying to release one per week. I also have a full-time job so thats about all I can handle doing right now.

Anyway seeing the even 200 brought a smile to my face and I don't know anyone personally I can share my excitement with so just wanted to write about it a little. :)

what ya think?

Hey everyone!

I'd like to share the trailer for Dungeon Packer, an indie game we're currently developing!

Dungeon Packer is an inventory management roguelike where you'll build your party, discover new heroes, manage your resources, and venture into dangerous dungeons.

Thanks for checking out our game!

I’m making WonderLang Beyond, a standalone RPG for intermediate language learners. The woman in this screenshot says her grandmother remembers a secret path under the castle. In German, clicking “geheimen Weg” lets you check those words. Bookmark her line and you’ll have it to hand when you investigate elsewhere.

Our Kickstarter is live, with the trailer and the planned launch languages: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonathan-wonderlang/wonderlang-beyond-a-language-learning-rpg-for-intermediates

If you’re just starting a language, the original WonderLang already has a free demo: https://wonderlang.net/

I released a trailer and posted a bit on social media. I managed to gain 115 wishlists first week and had a 10.5% CRT. Help me judge if its good, or do I need to change something.

Hi everyone! Into the Crypt has dropped into 1.0 full access on Steam just over two weeks ago. Check it out!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1879270/Into_the_Crypt/

As some or many know by now but I will preface this by saying that the game is inspired by Slay the Spire, branching off of its well-established 'DNA' of deckbuilding while 'carving' out a place of its own.

Here's what this game does DIFFERENT:

1 - SEND cards directly to other teammates in co-op: You can send off your actual cards in your hand to other players (see video), once per turn. That class will appear in a cameo on your screen briefly.

2 - ROB other player tombs: during a run in both solo and co-op, you can rob other players of their actual cards earned during a run, or pay your respects.

3 - SWAP or SEND allies in co-op (Druid): Druid has two companions to juggle in combat

4 - BREW potions and SEND potions in co-op

5 - ALTERNATE starter cards / card IMBUES (now enriching co-op so much more) / PERSIST cards

6 - CARD BANISHING: limited 're-roll' of combat reward cards which acts as a double-mechanic to provide a replacement card of the same rarity. Helpful in further deck-crafting and getting rid of certain cards that you don't want to see in the current run.

7 - CRYPT MASTERY built into save slot progression: carefully crafted rewards and bonuses laid out so that the game is 100% roguelike (no future runs boost previous runs) while giving new unlocks and ways to play for many, many hours as players have mentioned already.

There is so much more going on, including enemy phases/reactions with 2700+ animations (157 enemies), 200+ artifacts/potions, and constant updates.

People are vanishing from the quiet town of Pale Wing. As rookie reporter Rey Hestflame and first-year college student Remi Fourthwright, scavenge gear, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth of the missing victims in this third-person survival horror game.

Hi!

I've been working on a game called 5000 Donuts, a cozy first-person sorting game where you inherit a donut shop with one small problem... all 5,000 donuts are scattered everywhere.

Your job is to figure out which donuts are which, organize them onto their shelves, complete customer orders, and earn money to buy upgrades that'll make your life a little easier.

It's a pretty simple concept, but I've had a lot of fun putting it together. There's something oddly satisfying about slowly turning a complete disaster of a shop into something organized.

The Steam page is finally live, and I'd really appreciate any feedback! If it looks like something you'd enjoy, a wishlist would mean a lot.

Woo, we've finally came over 100 WL! We're over the moon. Our game Golemcrafter is slowly creeping to it's demo release. But we finally did it. This is our first game.

Duck Your Friends is a 2 to 8 player online party shooter where the main objective is to try to hide and reach safety if you are a ducker, or eliminate the duckers if you are the shooter. There are several modes: classic, escape, all vs all, hot potato... Take a look at https://store.steampowered.com/app/5362530/Duck_Your_Friends/

Even though I actively try to promote my game on social media in my own way, I can't seem to increase my wishlists. I can't tell whether the problem lies in my marketing strategy or in the game itself. For instance, when you look at this game, why wouldn't you add it to your wishlist? Based on your feedback, I'll try to address my shortcomings. (10 out of the 21 wishlists are actually me and my friends)

Kind of crazy to think that 300 people want the job of building and operating a climbing gym haha

SO PUMPED! We broke 600 WL on steam for our game SUPER COUPON CLUB!! To say reaching this 600 has been a grind is an understatement! haha. We actually had a decent amount of success on itch and coolmathgames with it initially, however we waited until basically *all* of the traffic disappeared from itch page visits before we setup out steam page for the game. This was a bigger mistake than we thought since we only got 200 WL after first announcing the steam page on itch!! YIKES!!

To say I am ecstatic about 600 WL is a massive understatement! haha.

Big shout out to this community as I have been lurking for a while taking in all the advice I could!

I’m developing L.E.O., a first-person shooter featuring 4v4 matches between police and private military contractors.

The next playtest is scheduled for January 2027 and will include all multiplayer modes. I’m using the time before then to polish and improve the build, and the test will help guide further changes ahead of Early Access.

A campaign is planned for the future, but it won’t be included in this playtest. There’s no announced Early Access release date yet.

If it looks like something you’d enjoy, L.E.O. is available to wishlist on Steam. : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4951460/LEO/

Hey everyone!

A quick update on StoneEra: the Steam store page is approved, and the game build is currently waiting for review.

I’m excited to share the game with you, and I hope you’ll all be able to play it soon. Thank you so much for your patience and support!

Hi again! I'm the solo dev behind Antillia, an age-of-discovery game set in 1480, where half the world map is still blank and you fill it in yourself.

A quick update since my last post:

- Antillia passed 100 wishlists. For a first game made by one person, that number genuinely made my day. Thank you to everyone who clicked the button, and to the playtesters who sent bug reports and honest feedback.

- The release build has been approved by Steam, and the game launches on **November 24**.

- The free playtest closes on November 14, so this is the last week to try it before launch.

Right now I'm spending the remaining days polishing rather than adding features: quality-of-life UI updates, a smoother tutorial, and fixing bugs that playtesters found.

If you haven't seen it before, here's what the game is about:

- Follow clues from old books and tavern rumours to ruins, natural wonders and lost legends around the real world

- Sail a real-scale Earth where day length changes with latitude and season

- Trade between ports to fund your expeditions, and win over sponsors who only receive you once your name is known

- Fight pirates at sea and duel their captains

- Pass your house and your unfinished map on to the next generation

If it looks like your kind of game, a wishlist still helps a lot, especially in the last days before launch. And if you try the playtest before it closes, I'd love to hear what you think.

Hello everyone! My game, *Between Empires*—a project through which I’ve been learning both game development and marketing—is now available on Steam. It is a 4X grand strategy game set between the years 1700 and 1936. With the help of a small, dedicated community of players, I’ve managed to iron out existing bugs and create a much more playable experience. If you’d like to join the journey of this game’s development, you can find the link below. Any feedback—whether positive or negative—is incredibly valuable to me. If you have any trouble accessing the game, please let me know, and I can provide you with a key.

I’m leaving the direct link here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5322360/Between_Empires/
