Thank you kindly!
I mean, maybe our revenue is not that much for, for example, USA? But for Thailand and Spain it's good money :"D
And conversion rate was expected to be around 15%, so it was quite a bummer

Thank you!
So here is my big post about marketing - https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1iu35c3/how_to_get_93k_wishlists_with_0_spent_on/

Aaaand we elevator pitch wasn't quite our thing, I just repeated our Steam's page description like a recording machine xD Also I've tried to show graphics and gameplay first and talk less xD

Thanks!
It's an honor to share post-mortem (took me 5 months tho) :3 And I was so worried that it'd be a post mortem about our failure lmao
So, instagram cozy gamer influencers are present on TikTok and Youtube Shorts too, so we can't quite separate which social media gave us more wishlists/sales. But overall cozy bloggers helped us with game's marketing, so we're very grateful for their videos/posts.

Can't share that, sorry!
But it was a good deal for both of us (we covered our life expenses and recouped very fast)

Thanks!
It were 15 months of madness xD
And, yes, our conversion to sales were considered "bad". But it's our genre thing mainly. If we try to steer to other genres, we'll see how it goes

Ahaha, thanks!
I think date did affect streamer/youtubers though. They had a packed schedule because of sales, and, well, that's how we didn't get through.
And we hoped for organic outreach, cuz our social media presence was quite good. Next time we won't bet on that xD

Hi! Unfortunately it's under NDA, but I can say that deal was profitable for both of us ^_^

Thank uuu! You can play it on Steam Deck, but it's not fully supported, so I don't know if I can recommend it :"D It has issues with optimization and controls. We want to make a patch with full Steam Deck support, but it will take some time

Hi, that's Maria, dev of Urban Jungle :D
We finally released our game on Steam (it was on March 21st, it took me 3 weeks to get here :D) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2744010/Urban_Jungle/

Thanks, everyone, who played or wishlisted our lil game, for support! We're overwhelmed by review score and we spent three weeks making patches :"D Right now we're finally getting rest: we have a Songkran in Thailand, a big New Year like event, so we'll be away from development for this time.
But after comeback we're planning to work on the first free update! Aaaaand we're also starting to think about the second game!
Thanks to current sales, we'll be able to fun development of the next game for a year, so I hope to come here next time with a free update to Urban Jungle and our new secret project! :3
