Been brainstorming the profile page today... I'm thinking something like this? The highlight spot would be someone's #indiegame or #gameart asset? We would limit to 5 per user so if your creation has been highlighted it really means something and its giving it more valuable exposure. Thoughts?

After years of following and supporting #indiegames and #gamedev, itβs finally happening:
Our game "Kernelbay" has a "Coming Soon" page on @steampowered.com and we're part of the Fishing Fest! π£
It would mean the world if you could wishlist & repostπ
