Indie developers, I beg you to organize thorough playtests for your game and demo early and continue doing so at least until they are out.

Very cool insights on adjusting Steam product prices to purchasing power parity (PPP) as well as a free tool:

https://hushcrasher.substack.com/p/steam-regional-pricing

Counter-point: isn't setting some regional prices as low as -70% of the base price encouraging grey market and VPN use even further?

Or alternatively, utilizing harsh regional locks (like Netflix does)...

I really don't know which is a better path to take here.

Steamworks now measures the impact of past discounts! 💡

Previously possible only through manual analysis or the use of 3rd party tools. 🧮

It will be very useful for every indie game publisher & developer looking to optimize their long-term sales. ✅

I foresee it will strengthen the already ongoing trend of doing smaller discounts instead of 50/75%. 💸

And how will it impact YOUR business? 🕹️

Ever wanted to put into perspective how far will 10k of Steam wishlists take you? 🔭

You will be simply the 3000th most wishlisted position. 💩

25k wishlists - 1600th position
50k wishlists - 900th
100k wishlists - 400th

Shall I continue? 😅

If you won't have a marketing plan for your game, your game will simply be drowned in the ocean. 💀

Steam is testing new interface: the top section of the store and the new redesigned search! 💯🔍️

Available for everyone to try in the opt-in Steam Beta branch. ✅

What does that mean for us, indie developers? 🧑‍💻

Some bad, some good! 😌

More algorithmic recommendations, prioritizing the games that are already popular and trending on Steam. Same ol' helping the already successful games. 📈

sh*t. another one down...

My handwritten letter about my struggles throughout and before the launch year for my first creative title Solace State, and how I am finally finding myself healing and able to come out of my shell more.

"The untold story is this - Creating the game cost me so much...

I think I am finally letting go of beating myself up over not marketing harder... I don't think I could have reached this stage until I gave myself the permission to just be - without work - for over a week, and just disconnected and listened to the world around me. And everyone - regardless of what stage you are in your job - you deserve You time too: Legally, economically, socially... substantively."

Sun Tzu said: He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. ⚔️

And you? Why are you releasing a game before you collect enough Steam wishlists? 🤯

Before executing a single marketing campaign, getting any traction on social media, or showing your game to video influencers? 💤
