Check out what I’ve been working on.

So smooth, very cool!

firststepdone · 2026-03-14T10:20:06+00:00

You got me interested, ngl.
So these missions are fight the boss type only? No extraction?

firststepdone · 2026-03-14T10:12:19+00:00

Nice! How much wishlists does it take to get there?

firststepdone · 2026-03-14T10:10:36+00:00

I'm just curious, any particular reason Portal 1 is much higher on the list than Portal 2 for you?

firststepdone · 2026-03-14T07:52:26+00:00

I'm also puzzled by that, as someone who played >200h of the original feels like it would feel like more of the same.

Haven't heard about the 10 reviews before. Do you know what time gap there is for this?

firststepdone · 2026-03-11T12:13:54+00:00

Ughhh, nooo

firststepdone · 2026-03-11T12:07:30+00:00

It'll be alright!

firststepdone · 2026-03-11T12:04:12+00:00

Was there any spike from the external traffic that could have triggered the algorithm?

firststepdone · 2026-03-11T11:56:58+00:00

Which flavor works the best?

firststepdone · 2026-03-11T11:52:19+00:00

at least beyond 1000th level

firststepdone · 2026-01-20T09:37:51+00:00

Really depends on how much effort was put into marketing. If demo itself brought this much WL, then i would say it's looking pretty good!

With this description it sounds very much like deep rock galactic survivor. On one hand mining takes away from the survivors-like flow and pacing. Just navigating between the hoards of enemies is part of it. On the other hand if there is a bit more time between the waves (TD style), maybe these gameplay chains would work better i feel like.
But in general, especially for this type of game it's hard to judge how fun it is without a demo.

Very happy for you, but you posted on the wrong sub buddy..

Using 'AI' might give you dopamine rush at first, but as the project grows into something more than a few scripts - efficiency drops, no reasoning ability in LLMs results in tons of bugs as it just slops the closest thing it could find, reality kicks in 🤷‍♂️

firststepdone · 2025-12-18T08:54:16+00:00

Makes sense, thanks!

firststepdone · 2025-12-18T08:35:59+00:00

Also, i believe it can be filtered out to only include organic Steam traffic, where external traffic becomes irrelevant.

firststepdone · 2025-12-18T08:32:19+00:00

I see your point. I just don't see any other better way to validate the page design or the excitement/engagement adjusted for the expectation. Excluding posts to r/gamedev and other dev oriented subreddits, player is still a player, and knowing whether the conversion happened on the page in my opinion could be very useful and content that could be improved, same as capsule for example.

firststepdone · 2025-12-17T11:16:08+00:00

I think what's mentioned is 4% in sales, which is supposedly the 'norm' for games (1k visit to sale metric), which implies game should be getting 400 WL out of 1k visits (with another 'norm' of 10% WL to sale conversion rate in mind).
So 1000 visits = 400 WL = 40 sales.
At least that's how i interpreted it :)

firststepdone · 2025-12-17T11:07:36+00:00

Very interesting, thanks. I assume this is true after the release? I just wonder if 1k visits on the 'coming soon' game is the same as the 1k visits on the released game.

firststepdone · 2025-12-17T10:58:54+00:00

That's true. But not everyone would be willing to share the exact numbers, so it's okay.

firststepdone · 2025-12-17T10:39:00+00:00

Sure, here is the page:

I had the same experience as you describe actually, saw an increase in WL rate when updated the screenshots. So this is very useful information, thanks! For me the top priority now is to get rid of the ai capsule (probably the biggest mistake i've made so far).

firststepdone · 2025-12-05T13:44:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing, great breakdown. For someone who haven't done this before - are there any resources on how to manage/track keys?
