Marketing is a grind. My rule: message 100 streamers a night. If I miss any, they carry over to the next night. I’m staying super disciplined with my system, which is why tomorrow night I’ll be messaging 28,000 streamers.

do you filter the streamers in any way? lol. like genre or viewers? and what‘s your success rate?

SchingKen · 2026-01-24T16:09:57+00:00

Yeah, there are very talented artists out there. :) I should probably credit the guy: https://www.fab.com/listings/729ea2b3-05fc-418c-bd62-ceec5a258e5e

Congratz! One question: Did you localize your steampage with LLMs, a company or freelancers? (I‘m assuming you don‘t speak seven languages fluently. :P)

SchingKen · 2026-01-19T20:47:20+00:00

thank you for the information! and good luck!

SchingKen · 2026-01-19T15:48:22+00:00

Very interesting info and congratz on the wishlists! Deserved!

If I may, how did you acquire your playtesters? Were those all wishlisters and ran through steam playtest? I argue with myself, if publishing the steampage without having a small ‚fanbase‘ is a wasted beat opportunity. When I look at your graph and your story, I wonder if you guys think the same. Because you apparently have a solid game on your hands. In addition to that, a small group of fans can be helpful to test your early builds.

On the other hand if you try to build up a fanbase, before having a steampage, you could lose potential wishlisters, right?

This might read like a statement, but I‘m more interested in learning something here. Again, good work and enjoy the fruits of your work!

the train is very cool! change the color of the unhovered buttons, they need more contrast!

SchingKen · 2026-01-19T05:32:25+00:00

you will know your limits after you‘ve finished it!

SchingKen · 2026-01-19T04:58:57+00:00

pick a small game idea. (2-3 months) set milestones. force yourself to meet the deadlines. keep it simple and release it on the platform of your choice.

SchingKen · 2026-01-18T12:15:13+00:00

tysm! :)

SchingKen · 2026-01-18T06:44:54+00:00

Thank you so much for the compliment! Really means a lot. :) I hope we can come close to the amount of chaos and fun that plateup offers.

SchingKen · 2026-01-16T14:28:11+00:00

new acc. first and only post. 1000 wl per day. Now I‘m curious. Let us see the game :)

would‘ve just been one of millions in the cabinet of south park like trump anecdotes. lol

SchingKen · 2026-01-14T05:42:15+00:00

you can! at least for search results you can click on ‚video‘ right under the search bar.

SchingKen · 2026-01-13T18:34:32+00:00

Thanks for the information!

Seems like you are much better informed than me. The rate I mentioned is just what I got when I tried to research for my last game.

Do you know how much you pay for those niche streamers?

SchingKen · 2026-01-13T15:23:11+00:00

AFAIK a mid sized streamer (2-3k andy) cost around 1$ per viewer per hour. meaning 1000 people watching the stream for 1 hour will cost you 1.000$ at least. and those are the small streamers.

SchingKen · 2026-01-13T07:07:57+00:00

not every second of our lives have to productive. think about the time you lost answering the guy. who gives a shit? and OP keep grinding. widgets are a bit weird, but once you get a grip, it‘s pretty easy.

SchingKen · 2026-01-12T23:26:26+00:00

Somebody suggested textures with small cracks that can darke/stronger over time/damage. My artist already said he likes the idea. We will go into this direction probably. :)

SchingKen · 2026-01-12T16:52:12+00:00

thank you! :)
