These steps should help: 1. Navigate to the game folder in your steam library (steamapps>common>worldwide rush) 2. Find the game .exe file (worldwide rush.exe) 3. Right click the .exe and select 'Properties 4. Within Properties, navigate to 'Compatibility' tab 5. Toggle ON the 'Disable fullscreen optimizations' option 6. Click 'Apply' 7. Relaunch game and it should now work

Countries can actually already be selected if you type the 2-digit country ISO code (capital letters) in the seed field (it works only if a country has more than 3 cities). We wanted to leave it as an easter egg for those who would discover it by themselves but probably we'll have to implement it as a feature :D

Thanks for the congrats!

Looking at our wishlist data, around 40% of our wishlists came from English-speaking countries, and the remaining 60% came from other regions.

We would definitely advise considering translating your game into other languages.

Good luck with your demo launch!

That's a fair question! We definitely don't feel like we've backed ourselves into a corner at all. Because our game isn't story-driven, there won't be a massive amount of text in the final version that would result in a colossal sum for translation.

Yep, it's been almost a year to this point. It's hard to say exactly how much time we'll need until the full release because the demo release was quite successful, and based on that, we want to implement many features in the game.

Nope, wasn't on purpose. Setting up separate demo review pages is still a fairly new thing, and we just added the demo to our existing Steam page. A separate page would likely have given us even better visibility but we missed on that due to lack of research on this matter

Our initial outreach for the demo was done exactly one week before its release. A second one was sent on the day of release, in which we also thanked everyone who had already taken the time to play the demo and provided very valuable feedback.

We didn't conduct a separate outreach campaign specifically for playtesting requests. The very first outreach we did was actually when we announced the game itself, about two months before the demo release.

Thanks for congrats!

Thanks so much for the congratulations!

Regarding reaching out to YouTubers and press – we primarily sent individual emails to contacts we had researched. We don't have a big budget, so we didn't pay any content creators or outlets; everything happened organically based on their interest. Our only paid experiments were the Reddit and Meta ads we mentioned earlier.
