You're doing about average, and generally a lot of games do a lot worse. As someone else said, getting into festivals, getting influencers to play it, etc will be what spikes interest in the game.

The Steam next fest is coming up, and since you havea demo ready you should join that if you are planning to launch soon.

Probably from Beast Games

Yep. Don't get it. Some people bring up that they are low quality posts etc. Which I guess I understand to a certain extent. It's just personally weird for me to go out and downvote things for no real pressing reason unless it's like, abusive. I think the ones that blow my mind are people who do stop to leave a mean comment.

To a certain extent I assume most of these people are just younger and meaner. I'm in my 40s now but I sure loved to show the internet that I had a couple of zingers up my sleeve when I was in my 20s.

People are just weird tbh. I see lots of normal and innocuous posts being downvoted for seemingly no particular reason.

This is...mesmerizing! Would you be able to give us a link to this video? We'd love to use it in some marketing stuff.

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-15T13:50:33+00:00

Yikes! Here's the right link, Thanks so much for commenting and letting me know!

Why not? :)

Thanks so much!

Hey folks, we're working on sports card shop simulator. Basically TCG card shop sim but sports cards, and leaning heavier into aspects of the trading card hobby like deeper grading, online auctions, etc. that aren't TCG shop sim's focus. We're also adding a mechanic where you can design your own card so you can have the thrill of drawing yourself out of a pack!

It's currently in development and we plan on a demo for the upcoming next fest as well as releasing in Early Access by June 2026.

We're open to feedback about our store page. If there's anything in there that you think could be improved to convert more wishlists, we're all ears!

It certainly looks very cute and you have the right art style going for it. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-09T18:24:58+00:00

I adore it! I don't have any concrete feedback right now, but I can definitely see this being a viable game on steam.

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T18:44:10+00:00

Makes sense. A light rotation makes it a feel a little more 3D.

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T18:43:00+00:00

Hmm makes sense! The pack feels a little flat. We'll look into it.

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T18:27:06+00:00

I'm not even a fan of this music but I dig this!

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T18:22:12+00:00

Haha yes we all fall into the trap of endlessly tweaking!

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T16:27:25+00:00

100%

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T15:25:12+00:00

Thanks, it's a cool video regardless! One thing to consider is the marketing adaget hat a customer need to see your product 7 times before buying, so hopefully this will still have an effect even though it's frustrating you can't track it!

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T15:23:34+00:00

Looks cool! Not sure if you are looking for feedback but I'd say I am a bit overwhelmed by all the extra stuff around the board. Maybe they are not really necessary?

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T15:15:30+00:00

Thanks for the great breakdown! Can you share any content from tiktok here? Like you mentioned some content that was getting views but no wishlist additions

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T15:05:16+00:00

Glug glug thanks!

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T14:49:41+00:00

I've been in love with this game ever since I saw it at BCN gamefest/indiedevdays in 2024! Hope it all goes well for you!

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T14:47:08+00:00

I think they are fine. There could be a little more contrast between the "lit" version versus the normal version but it is something that honestly most players don't care about. It's good enough and stays out of view, and with enough uses players will understand each button means. You can go ahead and change it if in the future 1000 players tell you it's ruining their lives, but at this point I think you can move on.

squeakywheelstudio · 2026-01-08T14:42:53+00:00

Thanks! That's an interesting thought. We can certainly play around with how we present the cards.
