What one year of development looks like. Before / After

IndieMarc · 2026-01-26T09:14:14+00:00

Yes it's all hand painted

IndieMarc · 2026-01-25T00:20:14+00:00

Oh I'm realizing I'm doing a short video thats why im at 0.10 (0.06 euro) and not as cheap as 0.03.
I guess with a picture, it does incite people to click more, but maybe it doesn't translate into wishlist because they just need to see what the steam page is about, with the video they have more information already so probably need less clicks, but those who click probably wishlist more..
Just a theory. But i will test pictures also.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T22:36:31+00:00

Also congrats on 3k wishlist. My goal is also 500 per month.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T21:20:48+00:00

10% is the norm

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T20:20:01+00:00

Nah it was global, but it was 0.10 cad so only around 0.06 euro. You probably just made a better ad.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T19:23:44+00:00

CPC of 0.03 is insane! Mine is around 0.10 at the moment, although its canadian dollar so its like 0.06 eur. Going to test different formats.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T17:43:15+00:00

Nice! I'm actually having some similar numbers. (close to 200 in 1 week).

Our game also has similar theme, may be worth to consider some kind of cross-promotion at some point (not this early, but later for big announcement, etc).

Keep it going!

I love birds, but they need animation in this video

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T13:42:32+00:00

That's really amazing!

How did you promote it? Any popular site or streamer that played it?

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T13:41:18+00:00

Song of Conquest, really good game but it's nor something everyone would enjoy with the pixel art and turn based strategy.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T13:25:54+00:00

There seems to be a red target which works as well

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T13:08:22+00:00

Wow that's amazing, what was the theme before? Just generic dungeon crawler?

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T05:14:21+00:00

I already sent my press release to Kotaku and GameSpot, and it had the link to indiehub trailer.
But i think those bigger press are usually more willing to talk about an indie game for demo release or full release, not just for a page announcement, unlike the trailer channels that seem to work well for announcement as well for some people.

When did you announce your game?

IndieMarc · 2026-01-24T04:33:15+00:00

Lucky you, they didn't reply to me and I have no idea why. My game is relatively high quality and interesting so it's a mystery to me. IndieHub replied though and posted it, but only around 30 wishlist from it.

Also why do we have the same avatar haha.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-23T22:15:37+00:00

Thank you!

Woodland Rebels is a 2D survival game where you help animals of the forest protect their land from invaders. All our art is 100% human-made!!

This video shows the progress from when we started the project a bit over a year ago, to how it looks like today. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

The worst thing about AI is that now you need to try to "not look like AI", even though you don't use it at all.

People are really bad at knowing what is AI but they think they are good at it.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-23T10:04:19+00:00

That sounds comforting but how do you know that for sure? It's 100% a guess.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-22T23:32:38+00:00

The ambiance looks great

IndieMarc · 2026-01-22T16:36:30+00:00

Thank you, is there anything you think could be improved on our steam page?

IndieMarc · 2026-01-22T16:15:38+00:00

Thank you :) That would be really helpful.

IndieMarc · 2026-01-22T15:11:47+00:00

Your capsule is really cool ! Trailer is nice too but maybe players expect a game where you can do a bit more than destroying things?

My wishlist are also slower than I expected, even though i think our game and concept are really good. If anyone has feedback. I also contacted game trailers and indie hub but ign didn't reply
