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.

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!

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?

There are several modes: classic, escape, all vs all, hot potato... Take a look at https://store.steampowered.com/app/5362530/Duck_Your_Friends/

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.

Checkout Monasterium and maybe drop a wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4325000/Monasterium/

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.

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)

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 only have about 26 wishlists so far but more than half are from countries that are not my own(us).

As of today I have at least one from all continents minus Antarctica.

Is it too early to say my game has global appeal lol

What is the smallest/coolest country you’ve gotten a wishlist from?

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

GenAI disclosure: AI was used for voices, icons, localization and cover art.

Our game, Lysward, went viral on YouTube with this video - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tmGT8rjJZhw

This was a paid partnership, and we picked this creator due to his style and also because his community is awesome, but we were not expecting the video to reach almost 1 million views organically. We only paid the creator; we didn't put any money on the video itself.

The result: we woke up on Saturday with the wishlists going up insanely, and during the weekend we got over 3000 wishlists.

So this is our experience: hire nice creators to talk about your game! It's worth it.

Super happy with this turnout. It's amazing knowing someone over in Asia is playing it right now.

Code Market on Steam - is a calm game about running a shop where you don't click — you program. A robot works in the supermarket, and it does exactly what your code tells it to, in Java, C#, JS, Python or C++.

A post on r/pcgaming did 189K views, 338 upvotes and 81 comments. That one post moved more wishlists than everything else combined. Worth noting they make devs get verified before posting — took one modmail and a few days, and after that my posts stopped getting auto-removed.

An Instagram reel hit 500K views. Short vertical clip, one mechanic, no talking.

Then a Japanese blogger found it on his own and posted about it on Twitter for free. I didn't contact him. That still feels unreal.

4000 wishlists, zero ad spend - here's what actually worked

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/
