My first Steam page is finally out!!! 🤩 It is a new Desktop Companion little miner living at the bottom of your screen 🖥️ called "Monty's Idle Mine"! Announcement Trailer here 👇 youtu.be/uqFQg4XStMI #indiegames #cozygames

@LaiLie0126 It is an excellent number! Your game looks beautiful 🤩

Just crossed 10k wishlists after 2 months of marketing. It’s not a super huge number, but as a solo dev I’m still very happy about it. Thanks to all the supporters!! #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame

LET'S GOOO!

From my previous post, somebody asked me what was the "SUPER MONTY" cheat. It's giving Monty fairy dust but with steroids.😅 #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiegames #indiedev

@ColorTheBooks There is a free steam page course at howtomarketagame.com. Totally worth it.

@ColorTheBooks I use the tag wizard and make sure that the similar games that appears are my target audience. I haven’t studied wl conversion yet since I launched my steam page a few weeks ago but definitely every time you make a tag update I suggest you keep a blog and analyze the data.

Discovered something important. This is ESPECIALLY true for folks in the midst of #SteamNextFest - double check your game's TAGS (even changing the first tag can crank up your visibility, visits, and Wishlists) I had "survival horror" as my number one tag when my game is really more of a "psychological horror" game (a slight difference, but an important one). I realized this a few days ago and swapped them out. Pretty quickly saw a nice boost in visibility, traffic, and Wishlists from folks who were looking for (and finding) a game just like mine. The folks who were looking for survival horror action were seeing my game and skipping on it, and the steam algo noticed. So take another look at your tags, guys. Steam did a pretty big tag update recently and your game might fit into new categories that will more effectively drive traffic your way.

A reminder to review your Steam Tags every month. Remember that anyone can suggest and challenge your tags. These are not permanent and sometimes someone can make a mistake tagging your game incorrectly.

Steam next Fest was about 1/7th of our total wishlists, so don’t worry if it’s not kicking off for you. Keep on marketing.

I gave Monty some "fairy🧚dust✨" so I can balance the game economy faster. 😅 #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

We hit 94 wishlists! Can you help us reach 100? If you like roguelikes, deckbuilders, monsters, and retro vibes, consider adding Super Monsterdoom to your Steam wishlist. You won’t regret it 👀👇🏻 store.steampowered.com/app/4761460/Su… #pixelart #IndieGameTrends #IndieDev #roguelite

@IncVuvuu Congratz!!! Well deserved. Every time i see Tiny Terraces I hear inside my brain “Wishlist on Steeeaaaam”. 😅

HOLY MOLY, I got a Daily Deal!!!

@ValenAbrazo @TejonDev A mí me pasa esto desde que ví el primer video juego en mi vida. Siempre me imaginaba como podía hacerlo mejor. Ahora que los hago, todavía más.

@TejonDev Dios mio chabon me pasa lo mismo. Es como una maldicion. En vez de disfrutar automaticamente pienso en como puedo mejorar

Me pasa exactamente lo mismo a alguien las tambien?

@LiamTwose Have you read "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel? This happens in every business, every industry. Its a universal pattern, millions of planets, life in just a few. Idk why in the video games industry we treat it like its some rare case.

80% of video games will never see success.* 80% of video games will never be finished or released.* 80% of video games will never receive coverage or be "seen".* 80% of video games will never be published or receive funding.* *Be the 20% that changes that. 🫡

@HiddenNook_ ty! :D

@Antonnnm Oh of course, I love desktop companion games... I'll check it out 🤍

‼️ ACHIEVEMENT HUNTING ‼️ - If you have a game with achievements in, let me know below, whether its 1, 10 or 100 - I want to know! 🤍 - We are creating a playlist on YT for finding all the achievements in games and I am keen to find some Indie Games for me to play and try to get all the achievements 🥹 - #indiegame #gamedev #achievementhunting #completionist

@PawmartGame @MrMorrisGames @CodeRadGames Yes, that’s exactly what I thought. I’ll provably run two tests, one with a 30 minutes demo, the other one 60 to 75.

@Antonnnm @MrMorrisGames @CodeRadGames For games of our type, 30 minutes is too short in my opinion. We settled on between 60 and 100 minutes. And it also needs to unlock a few mechanics.

I didnt realise how stressfull this whole steam #nextfest preparations would be. Does these demo stats look okay? Should I be worried? #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

@starhoundstudio ty! 😊

@Antonnnm Spotted the cat 👀 and now I want to move into this library. Gorgeous warm little space. 🐾

WIP library room for my cozy desktop companion "Monty's Idle Mine"😄 #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #cozy #cozygames #indiedev #indiegames

@Tomyontherocks 😸

@Antonnnm ✨ find the cat 👀

@BrunoBombardi @Thereisnocat_ 😂

there is no cat in this image @Thereisnocat_

Name one game from 20+ years ago that's still better than modern games. I'll wait.
