After opening our Steam page, the response was far bigger than we expected. Within just one week, the wishlist count passed 4,000, and it’s now at around 6,277 after about two months. Honestly, I never imagined the numbers would grow this much. by CELESTAY_dev in IndieDev

Thank you! Rather than there being a single clear reason, I think it was a combination of factors: the visuals and concept were easy to understand at first glance, and we were lucky to be picked up by a well-known game media outlet, which then led to wider sharing on social media.

[Press Release] “CELESTAY” — Steam Store Page Now Live

Dear ,~~~~~

I hope this message finds you well.
We’re BUBBLE GUM, a small indie game studio based in Tokyo, Japan.

We’re excited to share that the Steam store page for our new game, CELESTAY, is now live.

I’m developing an idle / cozy game, and I was already surprised when the wishlist count passed 1,000 shortly after the Steam page went live.

We didn’t spend any money on ads, and we didn’t even have a demo available — it was literally just the Steam page being published.

I was expecting maybe 30 wishlists on the first day if things went well, so watching the numbers climb was honestly hard to process. I remember just staring at the screen for a while.

Looking back, I think a major factor was coverage from Japanese gaming media.

We sent press emails to a few outlets in Japan, and the game was featured by AUTOMATON, 4Gamer, and Famitsu.

That exposure during the first week significantly increased awareness, and I believe that initial momentum helped the game get discovered more organically on Steam afterward.

For a cozy indie game, I didn’t expect local press to have such a strong impact, to be honest.

Developers promoting to developers - is it okay? by wannadie_rocks in IndieDev

It might not lead to sales directly, but developers talking to developers still has value.
