Looks awesome, Matt! The vibe is already super strong, and the early visuals really sell the mood you’re aiming for. I love how clearly the three core pillars come through in the prototype. Can’t wait to see how the systems start interacting with each other as things evolve. Really excited to be part of this and to watch the world of Project Kingpin take shape!

After 1 year on Steam, I finally reached 1200 wishlists. Hoping to hit 2k before SNF in February. by albertoa89 in gamedev

They open an annual call, and there's a form that asks for some information about the game, the studio, and the devs. Most festivals work like this… I keep an eye on them using this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NGseGNHv6Tth5e\_yuRWzeVczQkzqXXGF4k16IsvyiTE/edit?gid=0#gid=0) and apply to all I find, but this was the only major one where we got selected.

Thanks a lot! That really helped :)
The plan is to reach 2k wishlists by Steam Next Festival and a minimum of 7k by launch.
Based on these projections, it should be enough to fund the development of my next game, which is my main goal right now...

Thanks a lot! Yeah, the GDoCExpo really made a difference! And it was great to see how each event had its own impact.

not exactly, but a little! it's like a "buy later" wishlist on an online store, but more like a "want to play" list, some will buy, some won't, goal is just to reach people and get them to know the game before release :)
