Not actually a bug, but I'll make some changes so this doesn't happen as it takes too long.

It also merges that with Twitch data if you manually download the data from sullygnome and put it in a folder. You'll still need to manually search for the emails of the creators.

Hi, I made a tool to automate part of the data gathering required to find streamers for your games. You give it a list of similar games, and it gives you a csv of streamers who played them on YouTube plus some analytics.

100% agree. I beat the base game with all characters a couple of years ago, but only recently started watching FrostPrime and climbing up ascension levels. One thing I dislike is that climbing is too slow, I'd either share levels for all characters or make just 5 levels (but same overall difficulty)

Slay the Spire. It was my first roguelike and it does so many things well. Also I've only made roguelikes so far

Asynchronous multiplayer (like in Super Auto Pets and Backpack Battles) is great for indie devs as it allows multiplayer games to be viable without requiring a huge player base.

Super Auto Pets is one of my favorite games in terms of development efficiency, it does a lot with so little. For example, originally the pets were just emoji with outlines, and the combat animations are a combination of rotations and translations; but it's still satisfying to play.

Do Millions of views convert to sales? And Robotic fingers Also human mistakenly accused of AI and Black Ops 6 goes big

My blog got quoted by The Code Monkey in his article about the impact of YouTubers on sales :D

How to find relevant streamers and youtubers for your game - Hi, I'm Oriol Cosp In this post, I’ll walk you through my methodology to identify the most relevant streamers and YouTubers for your game.

I hope this information is useful to you. If you want more details, I also wrote a full blog post about the topic.

Cheers!

6. Find their emails. I first look at their Twitch description, Twitter profile, and personal website; before moving to YouTube's about section (which has daily limits)

5. Select the best streamers. The two main selection criteria are streamer popularity (high average views) and fit with your game (number of games in your list played and number of hours played)

4. Build a database with the Twitch and YT data, that for each creator includes the average viewership, hours streamed and which games from your list they played

3. Search for YouTubers who played those games either by using manual search (tedious) or using the YouTube API. Searching for creators on YouTube is harder than Twitch, but well worth it since in my experience YT offers more visibility

2. Download streamer data for those games on Sullygnome or Streamcharts

1. Make a list of similar games. They should be at least moderately successful (otherwise streamers won't have played them) and released recently (otherwise the streamers who played them may have moved on to other genres)

My first game (The Ouroboros King) had more than 4.5M views on YouTube, leading to > 25k lifetime sales. Streamers were by far what helped me the most in getting players to know about my game and I want to share my method for finding content creators suitable to any game.

Instead of on Twitter - let's try this here & see if it works by now.

If you're developing a game, or released one: reply with the title, description, screenshots, and/or a link. Doesn't matter what stage of development you're in. Then repost this, and let's see what cool stuff we're all making.

I have an idea for a joke about game development, but I can't tell it because I'm too afraid of people stealing it
