Zero Percent - Steam Strategy

It's mostly to use the Under 10$ widget which is why we do it. It helps you stay on new&trending for the full duration and then snowball into discovery queue. It's more stable than a higher price. That said you can of course achieve similar results with higher price, it's just something we use a lot ourselfs :)

@0PercentSteam Thanks for the tip, noted. My pricing is set, though. As much as I understand the logic behind it, I'm not a fan of underpricing indies while literally everything else costs more and more. I prefer to adjust the regional pricing to be fair instead.

I must say, I wasn't expecting that my new trailer would be welcomed so warmly. Thank you all! 😭 Now I'm back to fixing and polishing as many things as I can before the release. Stay tuned!

@itsmcqueeb @MheepDev coming out soon dw, he been testing the game a lot and polishing! He's bit scared of release, make sure to show him support on release. It's his first game

@0PercentSteam I’d play it if it ever, ever, ever came out 😅 Can’t wait @MheepDev ❤️

Indie dev is making a idle-like roguelite where you’re a car speeding to make loops. -> Speed builds break game graphics -> Try score builds with more tactical combos -> Leaderboard infinite, get your high score It's called The Loopler NOT Looper! Would you play this?

@PTgames_dev You will be cool someday and write big blogs

@0PercentSteam waow... this guy is so cool. my dream

After 4 years of clowning on stream, Cakez77 a streamer developer released TangyTD - A modern tower defense - Custom engine - Streamed every day the dev process He finally showing his wife what his game made after 1 month for the first time. TangyTD made him rich

@StorypaintingFN Your ui reminds me a bit of it, not fully. "You steal enemies' abilities and use them as your own." reminds me of beru :D

@0PercentSteam Not really but I liked solo leveling it's really cool!

I'm a solo dev making Skills & Raids an indie game heavily inspired by classic Castlevania titles. - You steal enemies' abilities and use them as your own. - Manage a Tank, Healer & DPS in real time. - Extraction mechanics + crafting. Do you miss the old Castlevania games?

I would reconsider pricing your game at 9.99 instead of 12. with 10% launch discount. It's not that your game isn't worth 12, but for this game I'd try to reduce buy friction as much as possible. Overall should be safer to snowball with 9.99. msg if u wanna discuss more happy to help

@0PercentSteam I believe roguelike, as a genre, is very flexible. It's no longer only about killing monsters and getting through the dungeon. The playtest and demo proved that there is *some* market for this game, and it is more than I hoped for my first game :D Thanks!

@wildcraft_games Meh... true but also you just got a banger game brother. this game looks really good to me. msg me if you need any help with steam, happy to help!

This post is blowing up again so I'll reiterate - In indie game development, YOU are the marketing. One person retweeting or sharing a post can cascade into 1000s of wishlists, and that can be life changing for a dev. If you love indie games and you want to support someone's project, there's no better way than sharing their content with the world. With that said, here's my indie action RPG - A Short Quest!

@thomasmahler For me originality or creativity just simply mean discovery. Everything that is possible already exists, you are simply uncovering it.

In my recent talk with Chris Wilson I mentioned that the ARPG genre was born because Dave Brevik at first tried to copy X-Com and how one developer trying to copy another and then putting their own twist on it is often how powerful new ideas are born. But I've recently looked at my prototypes from the last 15 years and you can see a clear inspirational starting point in basically all of them - so my approach wasn't that I 'often' did this, but I basically always did. And now I was wondering if I can actually think of any successful game in the past 30 years or so that didn't get some influence from others and frankly... it's exceedingly rare. I thought about it for a few minutes and only came up with Tetris and Katamari. And even that isn't quite fair because Tetris was obviously inspired by Pentomino. So not a videogame, but still a game. And now I've found out that even Katamari was inspired by a japanese sports game named 'tamakorogashi', where students roll a giant ball. And by the way, this applies to all arts in general. When Kurt Cobain first designed the sound for Smells Like Teen Spirit, a track that back in the 90s was seen as introducing a whole new sound, his starting point was to write a song that the Pixies could've come up with. So... unless someone here can come up with an absolutely original game that was made in the past 30 years, I think we should all think long and hard about what this means. Are humans actually incapable of coming up with new ideas that aren't inspired by what came before? Are we all - for lack of a better term - just pattern matching? 🤔

@RandaWorksJP Don't worry too much about it. Skill is still the most important factor between a successful game and unsuccessful one. Even if someone gets lucky with modern media, without the right skills they won't be able to capitalize on it.

インディゲーム開発者さんが必死こいてゲーム紹介しているのなんかより、 あなたのインディゲーム紹介するよ系のポストが爆伸びしてるの何だかなぁ。 まあ需要と供給がAI で完全に狂ったんで、今は届ける力の方が価値が高いということかな。クリエイターよりインフルエンサーか。。世知辛いっすね。

@CoduckStudio Clearly not your first game, the polish is clear. See you on new&trending soon.

First time being on Popular Upcoming section on the Steam home page 🥹 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

@ShadowloveP Steam is hard but also great. There is a learning curve, which means it's not all luck. The harder you work and learn the more likely you will be rewarded. This is healthy!

現在Steamでゲームをリリースしている方々。 本当に大変だったんですね、いや、本当すごいです。ゲームの出来関係なく、色々な設定をクリアしていったことがすごい。 そして審査までもっていって自分も褒めてほしい。 もちろんここまでいった他のひとは褒めます

@KakapoCalypse "I'm working on my game" pure lies, bro is just addicted playing the game.

I've been playtesting quite a bit😂

@JohnMugen Anything that reduces RNG friction that leads to the build you want can be good. So if "copies" are important to reach builds, then it's good!

Do you think spire would be broken if you had a card duplicator in the shop?

@MeringueRouge Your game looks wild, sadly when you use anime characters you will always alienate a lot of people. You gotta figure out how to target your niche audience better.

Apologies for the previous tweet, it's probably a bad idea in hindsight.

@LumariGames They were both dreading the release, real emotions of relief in these videos. Can finally make games without worrying for tomorrow's bread.

@0PercentSteam I remember the first time he ever looked at the money, 30k and he cried.. 700k is INSANE I'm so happy for him! The dream, so wholesome 🥹

@PUREFILTH6669 100% 1.0 is gonna have infinite mode and more effects for the car. Make sure to send the dev suggestions, he always listens to feedback

@0PercentSteam I literally played everything I could in the demo, beat all the tracks and the different levels, and unlocked all I could. Can't wait for the full release, the game is an absolute banger in my opinion.

Heart warming story, game is solid with unique twists on tower defense games. store.steampowered.com/app/2245620/Ta… check out his streams @Cakez77

@Super_Scoopy Before release if I'm honest I was concerned about this game success. Space based indie games is truly brutal to make, players expectations are high. Him pulling it of for me is very impressive. Very happy for the dev 🫡

@0PercentSteam Genuinely one of the most impressive solo dev games I have ever played. I'm really excited to see what he cooks up next.
