George riding on a seagull excited for Brighton.

@secretsaucesoph.bsky.social and I from @thesecretsauce.uk are heading down to Brighton next month - hit me up if you want to talk/grab an ice cream/find a dark corner and stare at the wall in silence as a form of meditation 🎉

Look at this handsome trio!! We polished and tidied ourselves up for the @mcvdevelop.bsky.social awards!

What #SteamNextFest demos get you adding the game DIRECTLY to your wishlist?

JETRUNNER on Steam JETRUNNER is a parkour FPS, with cel shaded, comic like visuals, and a gameplay loop that can be best described as Trackmania meets Titanfall. Rich, expressive movement, and tight gunplay is what JETR...

Finally...

JETRUNNER - @curveballgames.bsky.social

A parkour FPS that had me in that Titanfall zen space, running around while the amazing voice cast and visuals suck you in.

A rougelike, brick breaking, base-building game! Bouncy balls are your weapon of choice and upgrading and developing new kinds is the name of the game.

Death Howl - @theouterzone.bsky.social

We fell in love with the trailer and the game itself lives up to it. Beautiful visuals, satisfying "soulslike deck builder" gameplay and a fascinating world.

SO excited for the @musegames.bsky.social team! ✨🎉

We've been working with them behind the scenes and we can't wait for you all to take to the stars! 🚀

Finally, to quote our own @connorcloughley.bsky.social...

"Keep the heid"

Manage your expectations, over 2K games were in the last Next Fest so every positive and bit of feedback is a win!

Make it easy to Wishlist and Give Feedback 💬

Adding Wishlist and Feedback buttons to your demo menu is an easy way to encourage both.

But remember to be present in the Steam Forums, Discord, or wherever you have asked for feedback.

Tags, tags, tags! 🏷️

Review your Steam tags and make sure they are correct so they can give you maximum visibility.

If you're unsure what to use, checking games that are like yours for what they're using is a great place to start!

RoboStreamer Increase your Wishlists and Sales on Steam by streaming Broadcasts. With RoboStreamer, you can upload videos and have them streamed in loop as long as you wish.

Firstly, if you're planning on streaming gameplay of your game to your Store Page (which we recommend) use Robostreamer! 📺

It's MUCH easier than leaving a PC running 24/7 during the event, and bonus, the developer is very responsive on their Discord.

Is your game going into #SteamNextFest?

We wanted to share some marketing advice in this thread! 🧵⬇️

Same. It's ever-growing!

I'll have an updated version of the ADRIFT demo going live during #SteamNextFest and a part of that is adding a timer that shows how long your delivery took when you finish.

So, obviously, Speedrunning Contest! 🚗💨⏱️

SAME! Every time, I swear. Love them!

Finally, Death Howl from @theouterzone.bsky.social

STUNNING visuals tell the tale of a mother travelling through the spirit world to bring back their son.

Also, "soulslike deck builder" sounds like the sort of game I'm going to lose A LOT of hours to.
