I just saw an announcement news post for a game I'd very much like to buy and play when it eventually releases. It's only coming to PC (as of now). There is no Steam page. No EGS presence. The only official presence is on the BitSummit website. And... this is a team that has shipped an "Overwhelmingly Positive" game (Steam user ratings). If you announce your game, you have to think about what you want your players to do. Wishlisting is the most powerful, but that means you need to have storefront pages ready. You should have a webpage ready to go so people can find out more and press can download assets. Announcing your game is a wonderful, celebratory moment for any team... but it's also something that should have a clear purpose for each key audience group (players, press, creators). Don't lose these powerful beats... always remember your call to action.

“Players are often happy to buy discounted games or less expensive micro-indie hits like Vampire Survivors or Lethal Company rather than a new game for $20-$30 (or more). And many consumers play a main games-as-a-service title (free-to-play or paid). They're less motivated to change it for another, unless they can bring their friends along. The good news for those doing this in 2024: graphical fidelity and company size may not predicate success, so tiny teams can have massive success making a game anywhere in the world. The bad news? You're competing against thousands of those tiny teams, and 'long tail' revenue is being affected by the sheer amount of titles on the market. And that'll be 'the new normal,' in 2024, 2025, and beyond.” via GameDiscoverCo

Next Fest results for a niche, unadvertised game. Come laugh at me Started working on my game over 2 years ago as a passion project. It's inspired by "Carnage Heart" for PS1 if anyone has ever played that. Released the demo on September 18th to prepare for the Steam Next Fest and now that it's over here are the numbers:WishlistsPrefest: 88Postfest: 282Demo Plays (actually ran the game)Pre: 26Post: 178Median time played: 7 minutes1-10 min: 10410-20 min: 3120-30 min: 19200+ min: 8The rest are somewhere in between.StreamsStream 1 - Monday, 7pm CentralMax concurrent: 1,474Unique: 15,815Average time watched: 02:53Chat lines excluding mine: 0Stream 2 - Friday, 7pm CentralMax concurrent: 634Unique: 12,982Average time watched: 10:23Chat lines excluding mine: 0So yeah, not very good. My only solace is that there were a few people that really got into it with 3+ hours played. With a genre such as this I think I need to cast a really wide net.Steam page link: Terranny Thoughts?

Show up for your players and prevent that early game churn! From the article: "When I was a producer for live service games, we agonized over the new player funnel, which included tutorial elements, leading up to the first purchase offer. All of it had to feel good. Later on, when I shifted into more specialized live operations and player support functions, I made sure that customer service contacts were included in the new player experience. This was achieved by integrating the ticket routing, and prioritization with our new player definition criteria." In this week's free issue, I share some examples of how I have used data and other tools to show up for players at those critical early moments before they churn, and deliver core business value to my friends on the game and product teams. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do - every single one helps! As always, a special thank you to all of the paid subscribers, your encouragment means so much to me.
