Intravenous Software

@COWCATGames @Python_Blue @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot I've done the ridiculous grind to get to 10k wishlists before release on my first game. I want to make games, not be a marketeer. This game was very much an experiment in more ways than just the marketing side of things. I did lots of things differently to see what happens.

@NeonXSZ @Python_Blue @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot Unfortunately you can't do marketing post launch...it really needs to be done prior. And even for word of mouth to work you need a minimum player base. And yes marketing is an everyday effort and a lot of work, personally I spend like 1/3rd of my time doing it

OH NO. I MESSED UP. HELP! If you are a PC gamer, and care about great games being discovered, please take a moment to read this plea for HELP! steamcommunity.com/games/2304600/… @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot #IndieGameDev #indiegame #gaming

@LeoSandbox Just released my latest game (a Competitive Physics Sandbox), less than 48 hours ago. Did you like Poly Bridge? If yes, you will love it, but I messed up and would love any help from my fellow devs. store.steampowered.com/news/app/23046…

@COWCATGames @Python_Blue @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot Then I ran into this issue with needing 10 reviews. I was expecting Steam to give the same launch exposure I was used to to get the ball rolling. Wasn't expecting to get nearly zero traffic on launch day. IT seems this market is still too much based on luck than quality. Shame.

@Python_Blue @NeonXSZ @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot We all go there unfortunately. Can't rely on Steam giving visibility, because it analyzes popularity from external sources first. Yes reaching 10 reviews is important but it's only part of it. It really is about wishlists and building hype before launch :/

@Python_Blue @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot @COWCATGames Yeah, I think that is how it looks until those 10 reviews from paying customers come in. I'd tell you how many views Steam generated so far but don't want to break NDA type stuff. Let's just say it's so trivial no game would get noticed on such a small amount of exposure.

@NeonXSZ @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot @COWCATGames Also, may as well let you know I just saw this while visiting the Store Page:

@Python_Blue @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot @COWCATGames I wish I'd known earlier. I could have done things slightly differently but had a totally different result. We live and learn.

@NeonXSZ @SplattrCatGames @Northernlion @rockpapershot Yeah, I heard plenty about Steam's new algorithms thanks to my involvement with @COWCATGames ...

Not just building the tallest tower from a preset selection of blocks in @NeonXSZ's Stack Masters, but also getting to see just how much taller everyone else managed to do it on completion. It's a simple idea that just gets trickier the more you learn. hardcoregamer.com/news/simple-me…

Oh and yeah, I've been gone for a while. Had stuff to do :) Hi!

My brand new game Stack Masters just launched on Steam! Time to find out how the world reacts to a 'Competitive Physics Sandbox' game. #StackMasters #indiegame #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

My friend Paul over at Intravenous Software ( @NeonXSZ ) has dropped his new game! Lots of casual fun there. Check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/2304600/St…

@DoofMeNow I bet sub 6 is doable. My run played well is sub 6:30. I made a lot of mistakes and lost time. My RNG was better than yours. With 5 crystals immediately below at the start, sub 5:30 is likely even possible.

@NeonXSZ Very well done. That is a good run! As I predicted yesterday, under 7 is possible, 6:30 is probably about as fast as it could be done. I am humbled.

WORLD RECORD (6:53) - Jump Gate Speedrun - Space Bob vs. The Replicons youtu.be/uNFJfGOmeLM via @DoofMeNow What's up Doc?

@CheskiPlays Starting work on the new game in 1-2 weeks. Wrapping up the Space Bob update first. The new game is planned to only take six months. I've been brewing it in my head for a long time though.

@NeonXSZ Can't wait to hear more!

@NeonXSZ Paul - any new projects we should be aware of?

@DoofMeNow Looking forward to Monday. I told you it was a big update.

@NeonXSZ Bring it on!

@DoofMeNow All ready for Monday Doc - steamcommunity.com/games/SpaceBob…

@Esty8nine Cheers. You gotta try survival mode Esty. You'd love it. Game is so much sharper now than when you last played.

@NeonXSZ Damn bro your killing it

Space Bob got himself an all new Survival Mode in the biggest single update since release. Main Update 13 releases today. steamcommunity.com/games/SpaceBob… #gaming #games #indiedev #indiegame #steamgames
