“I know 35 isn't much. But every one of those is someone who found a game I'm building on my own and decided they wanted it, and that's pretty great. Here's what's new. Crew now have arms and actually hold their tools, two hands on each one. Builders fire a fabricator at whatever's going up, firefighters spray red extinguishers at the flames, farmers carry sprayers. Every machine and store has a little dial or tank showing how full it is or how far the build has got. And t”
“I'm a solo developer working on Over Human , a first-person sci-fi adventure set in a snowy world where drones can manipulate the weather (creating tornadoes, thunderstorms, and other dangerous conditions), and you have no weapons to fight back. I recently decided to completely refresh my Steam page, improving the visuals, screenshots and overall presentation. Since the update, I've noticed a really nice increase in wishlists, which honestly surprised me! I'm so, so, so happy. I'”

“Hi, sorry this may be a slight copium post. Im due to release my game on november 4th this year and I am currently overhauling the game page and finishing up the rest of the game so its a bit more polished. I was wondering, I have a really hard time marketing it. It just doesnt catch up. Communities where it may have been good (player audience) self promo isnt allowed. Twitter doesnt go past 10-15 likes on average and does barely any movement with wishlists. I know wishlists are important and al”

It currently has 65 wishlists , nothing special there. What I found interesting was that there were 2 events which would lead someone to think that the game should have tons more wishlists.

It’s a roguelite that mixes backpack building and auto-battle combat with oldschool first person dungeon exploration.

There are currently 88 weapons in the demo, and I’ve been updating it pretty regularly based on”
