Nice to see nextfest got you some wishlists! I had a few extra from nextfest as a surprise too, nice to see with all the horror stories about this next fest circulating haha

Great to see. I've been seing your game pop up a few times on here, looks amazing and well deserved

The demo for my lovecraftian dungeon crawler, where you wake up as a skeleton with no memory in a world where everything wants to kill you, is in Steam Next Fest! store.steampowered.com/app/3… #indiedev #SteamNextFest #gamedev

I went into steam nextfest with very low expectations due to the sheer amount of games, so I'm just grateful my game managed to get even a few hundred wishlists from the event so far. Will be interesting to see if the personalization changes anything today

That's interesting, I'm surprised you got more on itch. I think the case is even worse there since the barrier to entry is even less than steam, anyone can upload anything at anytime, no submission few or review etc. Or at least when I last used it a while back

Yep. In today's day and age holding someone's attention is harder, must people play a demo a few minutes and back to try it and bounce if they aren't hooked. Especially during nextfest so congrats

Nextfest isn't what it used to be, more so now with 8000 games. I entered with literally ZERO expectations, expected genuinely barely anything due to the catalog being so full. Got more wishlists then I expected tbh, but not all actually play the demo

Lich Lords

Yeah i realised quickly too, I wondered why the responses seemed so out of touch with the reality of most indie devs lol

Most actual solo indie developers (not these big studios that call themselves indie) barely have a budget to market the actual game let alone an entire seperate kick-starter campaign. And then adding an additional 1000usd its not a good idea

Steam NextFest is fast approaching! The demo for my lovecraftian dungeon crawler Lich Lords will be taking part! #indiegame #gamedev

Helps only really for X account follows and it's nice to network but it not really worth it for wishlists or anything

All dungeons are procedurally generated and randomized with big variety, even for the demo!

Targeted paid ads on reddit, funnily enough. Had the best wishlist success with it by far personally

Mine is 💀+⚔️=👑

Cheers, you too !🫡

Nice and haha 8000, don't remind me. Goes up everytime. At least on the bright side we're in this nextfest and not the next one where it'll probably be about 10,000 haha
