This is how the Steam Next Fest treated my game ๐Ÿ˜… #HorrorGames #indiegames #gamedev

How my Next Fest went (the numbers & takeaways): ๐Ÿ“Š The Data โ€ข Low impressions (<50k) โ€ข 2,830 Total Visits โ€ข 258 Total Wishlists (~9.1% total conversion) โ€ข 864 Steam internal visits โ†’ 160 WLs (~18.5% internal conversion) โ€ข External traffic mostly came from Reddit โ€ข Median playtime: ~11 mins (demo is <15m) โ€ข 51% of players played for 10+ mins โ“ Why were impressions so low? - Massive number of demos overall - Capsule art didn't stand out enough - Steam tags were completely messed up! The tag issue was weird: I found "Action" and "Shooter" at the top of my list, even though I never added them and there's no shooting in the game. Fixed them now and monitoring to see if Steam randomly changes them again. Feel free to drop your own Next Fest results below and link your game! ๐Ÿ‘‡ #IndieGameDev #GameDev #SteamNextFest #IndieDev

A quick update on how Steam Next Fest is going ๐Ÿ“ˆ The wishlist peak isn't super high right now, but it seems like a lot of fellow indie devs are in the same boat. TONS of competition, a flood of AI-slop... and it feels like the algorithm went on vacation ๐Ÿ˜‚ Howโ€™s it going for you guys?

Steam Next Fest is facing huge backlash over the rise of AI-slop and low-effort games. The October event has 8,011 demos, nearly twice as many as June., developers say the flood of low-quality โ€œAI slopโ€ is making it harder for real indie games worth to play Back in June, roughly 1 in 5 games at Steam Next Fest disclosed using AI. Now, just a few months later, that number has jumped to around 1 in 3. Some developers have even avoided public demos because they fear their games could be copied.

Is that a submarine? Yeah, why? What's the problem? Maybe the fact that we're flying?! ๐Ÿ˜…

Hit 600 wishlists! I know itโ€™s not a huge number compared to big indie hits, but I'm super happy with this milestone! That recent small spike in the graph is from a cheap Reddit Ads test (just a few bucks a day to test the waters). The plan is to keep building momentum until Next Fest, and then ramp up the marketing push during the event to give the Steam algorithm a solid boost. Let's see how it goes!

After dozens of coffees โ˜•, head-banging against the wall, and mice thrown out the window, I finally realized. The "first 5 seconds hook" doesn't have to mean frantic action... in my case, the hook is a hot-air balloon ๐Ÿง P.S. I need a new mouse anyway ๐Ÿ˜…

This dev is making an indie game where you have to walk across 20000 capsules in real time!
oh boy I hope no one asks Claude to spawn 20000 capsules or my #indiegame dev career is cooked
