One would think that after working with Unity's physics system for so many years, I would have understood what the joints are doing, but nope, I get surprised every single day about their weird behavior ๐

So, what do we learn from that? Keep applying for every Steam event your game fits into, because you never know what will happen. We have been part of so many events over the years, but this is the first event that really made a difference.
Never give up ๐ช
But the latest spike is now the House and Home fest, which outperformed our launch day and basically brought us the same amount of wishlists in total.
Tbh, I was going into the event with literally no expectations, and I couldn't have been more surprised.
But that's not even the craziest part. We had 3 big spikes in wishlist over the last year. The first obviously being our release, which outperformed everything before. Then we had a daily deal featuring in October, which is the spike in the middle.
Ok, it's time to reflect on how crazy the House and Home fest was for our game. As you can imagine, we have been blown away by the number of wishlists we got. In just one week, we racked up over 22k wishlists and 15x our average sales every day.
That's a good recommendation ๐
We are currently reworking our Steam page and part of that is creating new capsule art, especially for the small capsule. Which one of these would you rather click on?
It finally happened!
We have been part of many Steam events over the years, but the House and Home event is the first that is really moving the needle, both on Wishlists and Sales. I thought it was a myth, but getting your game into the right event can really do you wonders ๐คฉ
Sorry for the jumpscare with the Halloween event ๐
Thanks for playing our game. I skimmed over the video a bit and could see that the two of you had a lot of fun ๐ฅฐ
Big fan of these Best Steam Review videos on social media, so I thought I'd make one for our game ๐
I've been working on new videos for our Steam page, and I love this shot because the eyes change direction at the end of the shot. ๐
These are googly eyes, which are fully controlled by physics. So it was pure luck that this happened, and I recorded it. ๐คฉ
Did you know you can watch movies on the TV in our game? ๐ฟ
Ok, they are more like slideshows, because making a full-on movie is a bit time-consuming ๐
Thanks. Steam Page rework is going great and game progress is also amazing ๐
Thanks for the tip. Just reduced the size to 800 pixel max and that solved the issue
Thanks โบ๏ธ We are glad your kid loves our game. I really love it when we get comments like this ๐ฅฐ
I'm currently reworking our Steam page. What do you think about this as the first video to give players a glimpse of the different levels in our game?
Sit back and enjoy some web building ASMR ๐
Exactly 3 years ago, we went viral with this video on TikTok, which really kick-started our game dev journey. Our game looks so different today, and to be honest, I still have no idea why exactly this video went viral, but I'm so grateful it happened ๐คฉ
I haven't had that much fun making a video of our game in a long time ๐
More screensaver features:
- doubled the maximum speed
- separate size and speed for each logo
- deleting single logos
What other features should we add?
How cool is that? ๐คฉ
One of our followers recreated all the outfits of YouTubers who made a video about our game.

Created new shaders for our screensaver to match our special web textures. Not gonna lie, I really like some of them ๐คฉ
I can't believe I'm adding even more features to our screensaver ๐
Ok, I think I'm pretty happy with our screensaver logos now. What do you think? If you have any additional ideas, let me know.
Ok, this is spiralling out of control a bit, but I really love the latest changes to our TV screensaver. Do you have any other cool ideas?
Vielen Dank fรผr den coolen Podcast und dass unser Spiel dabei war. Freut mich sehr, dass ihr so viel Spaร damit gehabt habt ๐
I genuinely love how I do 50% of the work when implementing a new feature for our game, and the other 50% is coming from our community. I would have never thought about adding these things, but it makes our screensaver so much better ๐คฉ
I don't know why I implemented this, but you can now catch the screensaver with your web.
Thanks
