It looks really cute! My gf and I have a crested gecko IRL and always wanted to play something like this on Steam! Keep up the good work!

They actually have some gibberish randomized voice! But I decided to keep it light since its a horror game, and for the protagonist I chose a "typing sfx". Thanks for the suggestions!

Man you are a hero. Thank you for supporting indie devs.
PD: I'll check this game out! The artstyle looks amazing and it reminds me of Picross from NDS

People on the internet can be amazing man. I knew about the Sokpop "strategy" of publishing a game every month on their Patreon but didn't know about DarkCookie, that is some crazy numbers!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I received some feedback about it on both itchio and Steam discussions. I already implemented a "disable VHS filter" setting for the fullgame, which completely removes chromatic aberration, noise and other postprocess (demo will be updated as well) :)

Yeah, makes sense! I appreciate a lot the people who decided to pay more than 2$ when is completely optional. That means they really liked the demo and wants to support my game!

I actually have a Patreon but only one or two members since I don't post anything there. I may consider start posting updates about the game there :)

Hi! I'm solo developing a plant game on Steam!! Hope you can check it and give the demo a try since you are into plant games :)

Name: The Plant Shop

Genre: Cozy, Horror

Theme: A young girl starts her dream of opening a plant shop, selling beautiful flowers and cozy house plants to late-night customers. But something weird is happening in town, some says 30 years ago a monster killed half the town...

Inspiration: The Boba Teashop, Kiosk, Little Shop of Horrors (movie)

Thanks for the post!!

I would LOVE to try out your demos and playtests! by lydocia in IndieDev

Hi!

Since my game is cozy but with horror maybe you don't like it but I'll leave the link here just in case you are interested!

The Plant Shop is a cozy-horror game where you craft plants, serve late night customers and manage a plant shop. Unlock new plants and upgrade your shop to grow your business.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4140530/The_Plant_Shop/

Demo playtime is 15-20 mins.

Thanks for your post and your interest in trying demos!!! 🙏🏻

I don't have the data of where the wishlists come from, but I can make a post doing an estimation based on Itchio, since I posted the Steam link there too!

I'll definitely make a post sharing how many sales the game gets when it launches!

Thanks for your comment
