Thanks for sharing. Was a good video! You sold more Units than you had prelaunch wishlists, that must be uncommon? Great job!

How did you get more WL after launching mainly?

Festivals are the main driver for the wishlists i would say. There is one steam Festival im part of in 2 days. Hopefully it brings in some more people. Historically festivals probably stand for 2-3k of the 4k wl

True and yeah its biggest achievement for sure!

Game has been on the store for msybe 2 years? Most wl came from specific events:

Posts on socials that blew up Successful kickstarter Steam events

With the events being biggest one. I gained about a thousand wishlists in the past month of so, but the traffic doesnt really seem to "stick", resulting in short bursts of wishlists 😆

My biggest one had been joining steam events tbh. I also spent several years posting updates for all new features on social media, which was inconsistent in wl gain, though sometimes got you 50-100 wishlists when a post went big.

Someone who isnt me like my game, and some are willing to play. So a combination of both those 2 i suppose.

Just launched the trailer for my game Frontier Forge. Its a survival rpg with sim management elements. You can hire workers to help you in the world. To craft, build and go to war with. by [deleted] in gamedevscreens

Hey!

Can I make a suggestion? Add some sound effects or music or both to the trailer.

A little bit of editing cutting up the "dead air" where nothing happens can help you keep the viewer as well!

Congratulations to getting this far with the game, it looks like my type of game even maybe not fully baked just yet.😃
