Next steps: get a playable demo on Steam and get to 100 wishlists. And then we'll see

Got 50 wishlists! Super happy to see the number. Thanks to everyone <3
For the first time indie dev each wishlist means a lot and gives more motivation to make the game even better
You can also join our so far modest group :D Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4526450/...

What would you call that architecture style? :)
Actually, I have the game on multiple top rated and I no longer know if I counted it on the RTS or Incremental or Idle list. So, for the there genres it is between 100 and 200 let's say :D
Discovered that Incremental RTS on itch stands quite strong. It is the 128th best rated RTS :D Given the amount of games I am quite proud actually

Smart! Thanks dir sharing, it helps a lot
Good that you found someone to validate. I read somewhere that like 60% of players on steam rely on the localized products so it makes sense to translate. I guess Iβd do Russian (native), German (living there), Spanish and then.. no idea. Japanese? Gotta find someone to check then
Interesting! Yeah with translations it is a bit tough if you donβt know the languages. Dunno if LLMs can make it of decent quality now
Interesting! So far I am missing curators and YouTubers, gotta prepare the demo and see how it goes
That wonderful feeling when you cannot read two lines of text without skipping 50% of it because you've had too much caffeine
I also dislike video editing and all my trailers suck :D
Yours looks great!
5-10 is nice. I am getting 3 a day no matter if I post things somewhere or not :D
@benithemaker.bsky.social where is your game? :) What do you have on your table now?

Build factories. Spawn armies. Regret everything.
My incremental RTS is getting meaty

Milestone reached: got my first wishlist deletion :D
Now it is a real game.
Do you regularly clear your wishlists?

The sad thing about being an indie dev is that you gotta do "marketing" aka social media presence. And the more of that is in the life the less time for developing new cool features there is

Putting the progress side by side really shows how far it came.
Any suggestions to the new one?

I hate making trailers. Gets ugly or stupid, mostly both
My ideal trailer scenario I see now is like
5 seconds of action and then just black screen with "YEAH WHATEVER JUST WISHLIST THE GAME IT IS FUN"

Bsky seems to not be taking it good today
Can you rebuild before the swarms destroys you?

Anakin meme - Now I understand why roughly 80% of developers who launch a game on Steam never release another game on Steam. - They just get enough money from their first game, right? Right?
We can do it, just release the first one!

My wishlist data for the first 10 days
Steam: 16547 impressions -> 1076 visits
Visits in total: 1424, so ~350 visits came on top from outside (thank you for the interest :) )
Wishlists: 33, conversion visit -> wishlist ~2.3%
First feelings: both more and less than expected :D

Good luck!
Short :D for the format, it depends. Some things are really easier to just see. Like editor tricks. But tech heavy tutorials with lots of code make no sense in videos
I took down the old-ugly-grey-mess screenshots I had. Welcome the new-colorful-mess ones!
(I like them waaaay better)
