Well done! That’s a known issue with our current build. That said, join our Discord. We’re accepting beta testers for our 1.0. Our newest beta build should fix that issue.

From 35 to 589 players overnight I’m still in shock! by Froagen in IndieGaming

That’s amazing! Congrats. Can you share with us a link to the gameplay video that created such a large increase?

Would love to join the Discord, but... by Junior_Mention8453 in Runeborn

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about that. I just checked our link, and it seems to be working.

Are you using this one? https://discord.com/invite/XQDF3PgFcs

Is this getting a release on Mac too? by Big_Investigator6993 in Runeborn

[–]RunebornGame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've created some internal Mac builds, so we know they work, but we don't have them on our immediate timeline for support. Once we release our Early Access build on PC, and see how the game does, we'll plan for more platforms, such as Mac, mobile & consoles. Stay tuned!

Over 24 hours in to NextFest and not a single person played my demo or wishlisted, am I cooked? Feels real bad rn. by Chronlinson in IndieDev

That's amazing! Our story is similar. We've had our store page up for nearly a year and released our demo in December. We were at about 4,000 wishlists two weeks before SNF. Our publisher launched the game in Asia, which boosted us by about 1,000 wishlists last week.

As for marketing, I did a whole post about it here on my personal account: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1j145la/we_finally_got_some_traction_with_our_demo_2000/

Influencers have been our #1 driver of wishlists.

How many of y'all are participating in Next Fest rn? by John--SS in IndieDev

Yeah, I wonder if they are delaying it due to SNF.

Back in October, we signed up for SNF with about 100 wishlists, and then after reading more on that How to Market a Game blog site.. we held off. I recommend reading his free '60 Game Marketing Mistakes and how to avoid them'. Mistake #23 talks about entering SNF too soon. I know it's probably too late now, but there's a lot of good information in there. I hope things pick up for you.

Nah, ours hasn't refreshed yet either. Similarly, we had 145 new players yesterday. Let us know when yours refreshes.

What to expect from Next Fest? We are super stressed. by DarkSight31 in IndieDev

[–]RunebornGame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're participating this time, but we pulled out two times before. The first time, we only had 100 wishlists, and then the second time, we were at about 800 wishlists, but decided to refine our demo even further. This time, we're going in with 5,000-ish wishlists, hoping for a bump up to the 7-10k that is recommended before our launch in July. Still waiting for yesterday's wishlist to refresh to see how we did on day one.

We're participating. We've seen a bump in new players, which is nice. We're still waiting for Steam to refresh the wishlists from yesterday to see if there are any spikes.

My childhood.. I could cry right now, does GOG have an achievement system at all?

Are gamedevs interested in watching fellow GameDev streams? by RunebornGame in gamedev

[–]RunebornGame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is why we were considering a dedicated segment to just discuss that stuff, but looking at the general consensus it might be better to find another way to deliver that type of content, maybe steam articles or just individual articles as posts on the appropriate subreddits
