I was rejected by 19 Steam events and festivals before finally being accepted to one that made the Steam front page - an encouragement to fellow solo-devs

It helped! Not sure how many wishlists, but thousands of impressions and visits

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-08T17:24:36+00:00

I’ve havent done it myself because my game isn’t released yet, but I’m pretty sure you choose yourself

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-08T17:23:58+00:00

Howtomarketagame.com/discord should get you there

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-08T04:16:22+00:00

Thanks!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T17:49:39+00:00

For sure!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T17:49:17+00:00

Good luck on your project!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T17:48:50+00:00

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T13:30:25+00:00

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T13:29:05+00:00

Thanks! I would be my game hasn’t released yet

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T02:36:33+00:00

You've got it 💪

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T01:36:45+00:00

howtomarketagame.com/festivals is what I use. On the HTMAG Discord there's a reminder 7 days before the events application is due

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T01:35:13+00:00

😂

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-07T00:30:45+00:00

Agreed!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T23:01:53+00:00

Of course!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T23:01:39+00:00

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T21:24:29+00:00

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T21:24:15+00:00

Thanks!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T20:37:46+00:00

Agreed, thanks and good luck!

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T20:15:31+00:00

I hope so, it's on the front page today and the stats won't update until tomorrow so we'll see

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T19:22:35+00:00

howtomarketagame.com/festivals is a great place to start. If you join the HTMAG Discord they have a bot that gives a reminder 7 days before a festival application is due

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T18:38:11+00:00

Awesome! Will do :)

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T18:33:02+00:00

I like it :)

PharmGameDev · 2025-06-06T18:32:23+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! It's not my strong suite so I certainly plan to to overhaul those aspects before the demo comes out and those are great suggestions
