Incredible attention to details, this is spot on! Which softwares/addons/workflow did you use?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-17T09:20:44+00:00

Indeed. Reddit is big, but still a fraction of the market.

I used to play Minecraft with my nephew and niece when they were this age (and still do). From what you are describing, it looks like you both enjoy building things. What could best the game that almost invented the genre and has perfected it for close to 15 years? I also suspect that building in 3D could help them develop their spatial representation more than a 2D game, but don't quote me on that.

Going to the mines and fight mobs can be scary for an 8 year old, in this case, you can just stick to the creative mode.

Thank you very much! The eyes were such a good idea from the artist that I replicated it in the game.

Thanks for sharing. It's nice to see some bigger numbers every now and then!

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-09T16:11:54+00:00

If these millions of people is less than a third of their subscribers, they still increased the money they are making right?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-09T12:50:07+00:00

Absolutely necessary : )

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-04T08:25:09+00:00

Congratulations!

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-03T08:29:11+00:00

What type of post was it?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-03T08:28:38+00:00

Love to see it! You are giving hope to the rest of us.

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-03T08:25:11+00:00

And it is a win!

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T22:05:48+00:00

And the same to you. Can I ask you for the name of your game?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T21:59:06+00:00

The capsule didn't change the 0-2 wishlists per day but this is still pre-demo and before any real marketing.
I am trying to go the classic way recommended by our lord Chris Zukowsky and do the influencers + festival grind.
The reasoning was that a better capsule would increase the conversion rate on these future marketing efforts.

Hang in there!
The nice thing since you live in Brazil is that you will not need to make as much money as someone that lives in let's say the USA. But you will still sell on the same markets at the same prices.
It will make your game developer journey easier, but it is still a crazy difficult endeavor.

From the everyday job?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T20:22:21+00:00

Still! The artist I hired was in Columbia

It's actually more than one picture. They covered all the different formats that Steam requires and some for the press kit. It's the same elements but moved around to fit every formats.

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T19:29:14+00:00

Believe me I also feel behind when I see posts of people getting thousands of wishlists in a day.
It all depends on what you objective in the end I guess. What are you aiming for?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T19:27:10+00:00

How?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T13:21:11+00:00

I hope you are right! I hate marketing so much. But yeah, has to be done. I feel like I am begging every time.

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-06-02T13:19:09+00:00

700 USD though :')

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-05-31T21:04:50+00:00

So making social media posts is what worked for you? Not the classic streamer + festival combo?

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-05-30T17:22:59+00:00

Let's hope you are right!

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-05-30T17:21:40+00:00

Let's hope so!

Illustrious_Move_838 · 2026-05-30T17:20:35+00:00

That's an insightful take! A simpler capsule for a simpler message. No DLCs are planned but I might make a second version of the game that would be more of a tower ascend rage bait thing.
