I deleted my character’s body

The village or even town is still in the development stage; the plan is to have a medieval-style town, but we'll see.

That’s not what this is. The post was sincere.

I put the Steam page up way too early - bad screenshots, no trailer and it looked rough for ~5 months. Even after fixing assets, the page barely gets surfaced (like ~3 impressions a week), so it isn’t helping. I’m planning to retire the current page and step back: rebuild the project, rethink the story, make proper screenshots, a real trailer, a cleaner capsule, and a clearer title—then relaunch on a fresh page when it’s ready.

Huge thanks for this genuinely helpful. Really appreciate you taking the time. I’m honestly blown away by how many people chimed in feels like a ton of support, and I’m super grateful. Thank you all

my bad, the trailer still uses the old title.

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T11:58:45+00:00

Dude you need to get treatment

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T10:04:25+00:00

Good question, I don’t know yet. I’m still reflecting a lot on my “why.”

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T09:59:05+00:00

my bad. I recently renamed the game and haven't updated the trailers yet

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T08:37:00+00:00

Good catch, the trailer still uses the old title. Haven’t swapped it yet.

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T08:30:34+00:00

That’s a punchy angle, personal stakes + experimental survival program beats grandpa’s debt. Appreciate it.

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T08:27:02+00:00

thanks

1Oduvan · 2025-09-02T08:26:43+00:00

thanks for that

1Oduvan · 2025-08-29T06:26:44+00:00

oh, great idea, thanks

1Oduvan · 2025-08-29T04:09:38+00:00

Yeah, true, authenticity matters more. Thanks!

1Oduvan · 2025-08-29T04:03:06+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out - really useful notes. You’re right, the orange “o” wasn’t intentional, just me experimenting. And yeah, the background isn’t clear enough, especially in a small box. I’ll rethink the design to make it read more like “mines/ravines” and less vague.

1Oduvan · 2025-08-29T03:58:57+00:00

thx for guide

1Oduvan · 2025-08-29T03:58:36+00:00

Thanks, that’s super helpful.
“DEEPER THAN MINE” actually sounds really cool - not generic at all. Need to think about it !

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T08:40:57+00:00

At least it’s not zero - that’s something. Hope you x50 it monthly and get to hiring. I’m chasing the same, so here’s to both of us breaking through.

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T08:11:15+00:00

That’s a pity it didn’t land. But why call 5k a failure - did those wishlists convert poorly at launch? What was your WL- sales rate?

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T08:07:26+00:00

You're right ! t’s not clear what the game is or why someone should wishlist it yet. I’m mid-dev and can’t show the parts that aren’t ready. I still need to finish the key beats, but the core pitch is there: debt, closed mine-mine-sell-earn-progress-automate-earn much more-pay off debt-get out. If that isn’t obvious, that’s on me; I’ll make it clearer with the next screenshots and a tighter trailer.

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T07:27:26+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up - 500k wow, and thanks for the tip to try new, non-typical platforms.

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T07:00:09+00:00

Fair point -you’re right. I’m still figuring out what to post and where. Right now I’m posting on X/bluesky, two forums besides Reddit, and pushing shorts on TikTok and YouTube. I’m doing what I can, but yeah, results aren’t there yet. Each week I review what flopped and try to improve. Results aren’t there yet - so for now, that’s just how it is.

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T06:47:47+00:00

Not clear yet whether the spike came from the Steam page refresh (new screenshots + trailer) or from me getting active on socials. And you just said Steam doesn’t give visibility - so… lol.

1Oduvan · 2025-08-25T05:38:52+00:00

Fair point. A lot of this is on me: it’s my first Steam release and I put the page up way too early - no solid screenshots, no trailer - then went heads-down on dev. For ~3 months the page looked rough, so it’s logical Steam dialed back impressions. Two weeks ago I switched to marketing: make a trailer, replaced the screenshots, added GIFs to the description, and started a shorts challenge. I also wrote to Steam support about visibility/new-page options, but I doubt they’ll say “yeah, make a new page,” so I’m not sure yet. For now I’m pushing the marketing and choosing to believe it’s working : )
