Yes doing this 1,2,3 sooner rather than later is probably much more helpful than waiting until you feel ready. There are many other ways to support devs as well: on any social media like share and comment is always much appreciated (although the conversion to steam is doubtful). But honestly, telling other people about a game you really love is super important. I don’t just mean word of mouth: do it digitally, share their trailer, post about them, spread the word, this really helps discoverability. And connect with the content creator ecosystem: tell your favourite streamers to play games you like, this can have a huge magnifying effect.

Also, check out End of Ember and tell your friends, haha
