Steam Next Fest has the same effect sometimes :)

But that's okay, I still had tons of visibility from the Wholesome Game Celebration, and this event week was better in terms of wishlists and sales than the launch week of the game 2.5 years earlier, so, I won't complain 😁

Yup. And for Alchemistry, "low quality" wishlists. That last spike on the green curve was from Wholesome game celebration. Lots of people wishlisted but lots of them aren't that interested in the game it seems 😅

Per-app Wishlist activity report from Steam. Most recent 3 months: - Extortion: -13 total - Manufactur'inc: +4 total - Alchemistry: -86 total

Graph version since each store page has been made public

Looks like I should go back to some marketing! Not talking about my games and making less gamedev make the wishlist count pretty much fall!

So, uh, wishlist my games (see my profile for links) if you're interested! (Also, there should be one or two more in the list soon 👀)

Thanks ♥

Hi there! Everyone I thought I'd recommend is already there or candidated 😅

If there's some room left, I'd love to be added to the pack too :)

This is better than having only variants of the two same screenshots, believe me 😆

The items below have been added to your Steam Library. Steam Direct Product Submission Fee

Oops, I did it again ... 🤣

npm stats, react being the top line on the graph

I didn't know so I checked the download stats on npm, sounds like it's pretty much growing

(Oh, and I like React enough to ... release games on Steam made with this 😂)

Astro Astro builds fast content sites, powerful web applications, dynamic server APIs, and everything in-between.

My main job is being a webdev, so I learned to work with it 😅

I used to prefer vanilla JS for years, but I've learned React and now prefer using React when I can (sometimes with Astro.build, so I have the React developer experience I like, but no JS in the final build)

jQuery is kinda dead in new projects, React is one of the most used framework, and AJAX calls are great now that we have fetch (well, it's been years now, but it's cool it's there :))

I understand yep, it makes sense.

EA releases are nice if you're building a vertical slice and plan on adding content along the way (which is not every game, at all). And you still need a refined vertical slice and strong marketing before EA release :)

Will your Steam 1.0 launch outpace your Early Access start? We have some answers to this. Also: Nintendo's strategy, happily poked at.

The stats: newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/will-your-...

There is a small bump, but it's small.
In terms of visibility, Early access release is the real release, not 1.0.
Strong 1.0 (stronger than EA release) are really rare.

And yet, I still took over a community fork of greenworks-prebuilt with github.com/Dysnomia-Stu... last weekend lol

This is no joke, I have a list twice that long! 😆

(Yes, I censored some lines because as River Song would say: *Spoilers !*)

I grew up on these ... streets ?

I understand 😅
I do something in-between I believe (I never watched myself playing so I'm not sure ahah)

Yep, at some point you need to learn to optimize movements with wrists.

When I need it to be more sport-y, I dance with the music ahah

I had a time where I would do 1 hour per week as a sport session, so I eventually did lots of Beat Saber yep :)

Camellia songs are harder, but not the worst. You get to learn how to do them when you do community map x)
The worst for me was FitBeat, because of my knee issues 😅

Fun fact, I stopped playing the top 2 for more than 5 years

Top #21 games on my library

Simulation, Idle game, sandbox. Lots of things actually!
(And even one of my games in the list! 😁)

So, this is the moment when I have so many projects I need a document to list them all ?
Being passionate is great, but sometimes if my brain would calm down that'd be great too 🤣

Good luck with everything. Being pressured on every side while being in the blur isn't fun at all... That's probably not a fun week for your teams either.

Let's hope the community pressure on payment providers help you helping us!

Great, itch added an FAQ to their previous announcement: itch.io/updates/upda...

That validates what I assumed, they were overwhelmed and pressured by the payment providers to act.
That must be a stressful week for them too, let's hope it goes back to some more stable grounds soon for everyone!

How to add your game to Twitch categories ? Have you ever wondered how to add your game to the Twitch categories list ? This article is there to guide you to do this!

Little selfpromo, but I made a guide there, especially for myself to remember how to do everything: blog.dysnomia.studio/blog/en/2023...

And then, asap, but not urgent, create the IGDB page, that'll create the twitch and youtube categories for later on :)

A few technical things for the algo/discovery:
-Check your tags
-Check your descriptions
-Add a trailer if you have one or a gameplay video (not following my own advices lol)
-Check your descriptions again
-Fill every field you can on the page, and in every language you know (no google translate)

Yeah, at some point I learned not to start a project for at least a week once I have an idea, otherwise I end up with dozens of repositories on my GitHub 😆
