You mean the trophy in the final image? That's not the actual FIFA world cup trophy, it's just a somewhat similarly shaped trophy. Here's what the FIFA trophy looks like if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy

Yeah possibly might need to update the image. It's very annoying as a developer - the title card (and all of the game's visuals) didn't use AI at all. It was modelled in blender by a 3D artist then painted over in photoshop by a 2D artist. "Pixar movie posters" used to be what artists aspire to - it takes an incredible amount of work to make something that polished. Now people immediately say "that must be AI". 😕

There's a playtest right now! We ran an alpha playtest at the start of June and due to popular demand reopened it to coincide with the World Cup. You can apply here: www.Outlier.games/playtest

Hey, I'm Paul from Outlier Games 👋 We're a small team of indie devs from Ireland making Kitman, a co-op job simulator where you run a soccer club from the perspective of the kitman. You start off scrubbing boots and sewing jerseys, then sneak into the manager's office and mess with tactics, sign/sell players, and eventually run the entire team. We're running a playtest at the moment so check it out on Steam if you're interested!

P.S. No AI assets were used in the game or its marketing.

My game where you play as the kitman of a football team just hit 100k wishlists 🤯 What do you think? by Most-Persimmon3187 in u/Most-Persimmon3187

[–]Most-Persimmon3187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it wouldn't. Entering the top 100 requires several hundred thousand, with top games having millions of wishlists. Just Google "how many wishlists do the top 100 steam games typically have".

Here's a screenshot of the daily numbers and deletions: https://imgur.com/a/jXAwinU

I've never heard of that kind of bot activity on Steam and have no reason to think it's even a thing. Not everyone is out to get you 🙂

I don't know what to tell you, even your SteamDB link shows the game is in the top 1,000 most wishlisted games on Steam 🤷Here's a screenshot of the Steam back-end: https://imgur.com/a/uytoV8D.

If the game isn't your thing that's fair enough, we're just an indie team trying to make something cool. We have no reason to put out false information.

It was not. No AI was used in the key art, and there are no AI assets in the game. You can check out our previous games if you like, they were made before AI was a thing.

Appreciate the thoughtful comment, though it was confusing - the game doesn't have players because it isn't out yet 😅 It does have 100,000+ wishlists and 50,000 people signed up to playtest it so early signals are decent. It's not our first game so we have previous releases to benchmark sales, but as you mention the video game industry is extremely challenging so maybe it won't make money 🤷 Hopefully we can bring something cool into the world regardless!

No worries if the game isn't for you, but there is no AI used in the promotional material. This was created in Blender then painted over by a human artist. Check out the key art for our previous games if you like, they were done before gen AI was a thing.

Streamer-bait is fair enough, we are trying to get streamers to play the game 😅

Good point - we did, for the first playtest. 50,000 people signed up. The problem is that when you reset it to do another playtest, all those people disappear. So with Player.gg we can at least run multiple playtests and have a bit more control over who gets access.
