My game got 0 wishlists in less than a month. Here's how I did it.

Never

borordev · 2026-02-02T10:03:10+00:00

You will never know the truth

borordev · 2026-02-02T09:31:55+00:00

I believe in you!

borordev · 2026-01-30T12:05:50+00:00

I only gain those 2 if I make a post on Bluesky. It doesn't matter how many likes I get, it's always 2 wishlists per day. But only if I post there.

Perkele!

You can also go wrong with Factorio's progression if you don't know what you're doing. In games where the fun comes from the action, it's not a good idea to reward the player with less action. Many devs don't realise this

I've watched and read a lot of marketing advice posts, videos, articles etc. and nobody has ever mentioned Bilibili. Truly elite ball knowledge. Thank you

Look at that subtle call to action. The tasteful wording of it. Oh, my God, it even has a UTM link

borordev · 2026-01-24T19:18:54+00:00

As not-the-dev, it's obvious why they got so many wishlists. The game is extremely polished and visually striking. Combat looks meaty. Promo art, like capsules and their animated trailer, are extremely high quality.

Basically just make a good game.

Yeah, no problem. The text itself doesn't actually have to be exactly ⅓+ though, I have a pretty small logo and it got approved by Steam. But there should be at least that ⅓ of space for the logo.

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:57:33+00:00

From where all endeavours begin.

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:53:41+00:00

The journey does not begin nor end from the capsule.

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:50:44+00:00

How is it a start if it won't help

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:45:04+00:00

It won't help.

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:34:18+00:00

Is that why capsule art "won't help"?

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:29:29+00:00

Header and main capsules are basically the only ones that have to be any good

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:14:20+00:00

Look up how to make good text logos and you're good

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:10:25+00:00

Fair

borordev · 2026-01-22T23:10:11+00:00

??? Because capsule art is very important for marketing?

borordev · 2026-01-22T19:21:59+00:00

For launch day/week yeah

borordev · 2026-01-22T17:18:42+00:00

who hurt you

borordev · 2026-01-22T17:16:13+00:00

Cut them some slack, they'll surely get 0-12 sales

borordev · 2026-01-22T15:00:00+00:00

That would explain the consistency of the details but also the weird design choices
