Game Oracle

Who doesn't love a bit of time travel? One of the Steam Map's super powers is seeing how different segments have changed over time - we can see exactly what was hot in #indiegamedev and #gamedev on Steam at different points in time 👀

The rise & fall of #vr on #steam really was extraordinary. We looked at #gamedev market segments showing the rapid rise & fall of #vr releases. What can we expect from the #vr market in the future? Will we ever see widespread consumer adoption? More info here 👉 www.game-oracle.com/blog/evoluti...

We gave the Steam Map some VIP treatment and made a video about how we made it, why we made it, what you can do with it... everything! You can check out on the Game Oracle YouTube channel now 👉 buff.ly/2Pl4qDt

Day 10 of my outlier series where I highlight the most unique creations coming from the #gamedev #indiegamedev & #sologamedev communities.

Today we have Paparazzi Simulator 📸 stalk celebrities and capture ridiculous photos in this crazy #lifesim

There was enormous growth in NSFW🙈 games after #steam made policy changes in 2018. Time will tell if the latest policy change will see this trend be eliminated over the next year. You can read more about how #gamedev trends have evolved in our latest analysis 👉 www.game-oracle.com/blog/evoluti...

Huge congratulations 🎉👏🥳

We didn't believe that Steam was completely saturated, but there weren't any tools out there to give us any answers either way... so we built the Steam Map 🗺️ Find out how we built it in our new YouTube video! 📺 👉 buff.ly/16qU5hq

This means our outlier detection has improved 🥳 stay tuned for a devlog about our recent changes

Day 7 of my outlier series where I highlight some of the most unique & quirky creations coming soon from the #gamedev #indiegamedev & #sologamedev communities.

Todays pick is Rooster by @stickybrainstudios.bsky.social - a story-rich casual puzzle game w/ beautiful artwork & deep cultural roots 🧩🐓🍚

Hoping there's an option for slow motion beach running in this unique #indiegame 👀

It's taken me *days* to edit this 5 minute video in between existential crises, imposter syndrome and much procrastination... but I'm finally exporting version 2 and I hope it does Game Oracle's Steam Map justice and help some #indiegamdev and #gamedev people on the way

We love The Outlier List and we love #indiegames so we made this leaderboard better with the option to look at unique games that are coming soon so that we can all go and support them during development 🎉

Really excited to make this video so that you can see how much Steam has changed over the years

It's no surprise that DELTARUNE by @tobyfox.undertale.com was the most loved, best performing game in June! It's been 10 years since the release of Undertale and the anticipation almost got the better of us! Another incredible self-published success is Tower Wizard 🧙

Great sounding podcast 😍

Spoilers 👀

We loved visiting the Expo at #DevelopBrighton last week! It's the perfect #gamedev conference if it's your first time or if you're a #solodev going on your own. The #indigegamedev showcase was fab and a brilliant place to playtest your game!

In June the sun was shining outside, which meant fewer people playing games inside 😎 so sales & revenue dropped again, but this period doesn't last forever, it's just part of the seasonal cycle & we have to pay attention to player behaviour & adjust our targets as a result 🎯 #gamedev #indiegamedev

You win the employee of the month award for sure 🏆

Love that that mouth is on the other side of the eye... Truly terrifying 😱

The capsule alone is stunning! 😍

I don't think it could have been a more beautiful day for #DevelopBrighton

The newsletter is one of our favourite things to write 😊 it's like a monthly catch up with our indie game dev pals (you) & we LOVE it when you reply to us with what you're up to! The next one goes out tomorrow so don't miss it: buff.ly/XHmA31q
