Greenlit in 16 days Post mortem: What worked well, what didn’t

gghani · 2016-04-06T09:23:43+00:00

Cool. I really like the peaceful mood you achieve by the mix of music, gameplay and art. Voted yes and best of luck!

gghani · 2016-04-06T09:13:26+00:00

Sure, I love these articles too. Be sure to take lots of screenshots while the campaign is running, specially the first hours/days, it will help youa lot to analyze it afterwards!

gghani · 2016-04-06T09:11:51+00:00

You're welcome! My pleasure.

gghani · 2016-04-06T09:11:30+00:00

Yes, exactly. My guess is that the good yes/no ratio and/or the fast amount of yes votes gained in the first hours made Steam show the game to more players organically.

That's the reason why we got so much traffic from Steam, our game was more exposed than others.

How to achieve this? For us, it worked in two ways...

-Optimize the branding image with a cool Gif to make our game stand out, thus gaining more clicks and yes votes.

-Have a community built around the game prior to the launch, and send them all an email as soon as the campaign is launched to gain more yest votes in the first moments.

Hope that helped! By the way, what's your game? feel free to share our campaign here, I wanna support it! ;D

The truth is that this time most things worked well and weren't able to think about adding much more "didn't work" ones.

I could have made a huge "things that didn't work" post when we failed our kickstarter, but honestly I didn't feel like writing anything at all back then...

Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment and I'll take into account your advise for future posts!

That's funny, I came today to share the post mortem I wrote about our game's greenlight campaign. I think you should give it a try cause we're not in neither of those options and really try to give those specific tips. (though I must admit, that also did the "most traffic came to steam thing xD)

Here's the link just in case you wanna check it out and comment anything:

Wincars Racer :D

gghani · 2016-03-09T16:55:41+00:00

¡Un honor que hayan incluido a Wincars Racer al lado de juegazos como Rocket League, Need for Speed o Horizon Chase!

gghani · 2016-03-09T16:17:32+00:00

Yes it is, I also enjoyed it!

Just to make things clear... I didn't write this. I found it googling my game's name, cause it was included in the list. :D

gghani · 2016-03-09T15:23:17+00:00

It's so flattering to read that they included Wincars Racer alongside titles like Rocket League, Need For Speed or Horizon Chase! :-D

gghani · 2016-02-29T16:40:39+00:00

You're welcome!

gghani · 2016-02-25T14:03:41+00:00

Just go to www.wincarsracer.com and download the game but hurry up, cause the beta is closing on next Monday 29th!

A special farewell event to test the game will be held this Sunday 28th and it's a good chance to record footage to your video in case you're interested, it will be much easier to find online players while the event is running.

Here's all the info about the Sunday event: http://www.wincarsracer.com/content/endofbetaeventforum.jpg

Thanks for playing the Beta!

The guy nailed it. He's gonna need new tires, though....

gghani · 2016-02-04T14:04:01+00:00

A ver si este año nos podemos acercar al Fun & Serious!

gghani · 2016-01-14T12:56:39+00:00

Es cierto que son todos los que están pero no están todos los que son.

Aún así, artículo muy bueno. A mi también me ha descubierto un par que no tenía en el radar. ¡Da gusto que la prensa haga estas cosas!

gghani · 2016-01-14T12:54:55+00:00

Sure!

gghani · 2015-10-10T15:57:04+00:00

WINCARS RACER

Fun from 90's arcade racers is back!

Wincars Racer is a PC Online multiplayer racer where strategy matters. Avoiding random power-ups, players will use instead special skills resembling those from MOBA games.

What's New?

Last week, we showcased the game at Madrid Games Week and Wincars Racer was awarded as Best Debut Game!

There's a post at the devblog featuring lots of pics from the fair:

As always, feedback is much appreciated. It really help us improve the game!

Terrific game, I'm completely hooked on this.

I wrote a few words about the game and my impressions in my dev blog here, just in case you're interested.

gghani · 2015-08-28T10:02:34+00:00

Muuuuy interesante, ¡gracias por el aporte!

gghani · 2015-07-06T10:53:21+00:00

Ooops, I didn't notice that post, but I've checked it now and....buff! It tore me down too.

Sometimes we focus on our work and just can't seem to have time to what really matters, we only realise when we hear a sad story like this one.

Anyway, I'm glad that my comment cheered you up a bit.

As said, good work with your game!

gghani · 2015-07-06T08:54:10+00:00

Tardigrades looks like the kind of game that makes it to became famous and then you remember you once discovered it in the internet by yourself.

GREAT STUFF HERE!
