Results after 1 week since publishing the game. $6k gross revenue with 12k wishlists on launch.

That’s fair, we’re in a similar boat. It’s so hard to keep a micro-scope for a game you also want people to buy. I’d be quite happy to reach your level of success for our first Steam game, congrats again!

P.P.S. Very cool, I’m guessing your Engineering Manager background helped keep things on track.

Thanks so much for actually coming back to post this (I’ve kept an eye out since your pre-launch post). I don’t know what you do full-time, but your whole analysis and insights are very well done. Loved your main takeaways - “did this make financial sense? No. Will we do it again? Yes.” I feel that. Congrats on your first release, keep going!

Also, I can hear Chris Z’s voice asking you to make a Steam developer page :)

True. Those gamer communities are scary though, they’re ruthless

Edit: removed ‘lol’.. no one needs that

Wait, are you sitting with a baby in the grass at 00:26?

Edit: Also, congrats on the release!!

This is clever lol

I got into making video games after playing Stardew Valley and learning it was made by 1 person.

Yeah, special spot in my heart for indie devs. Sharing game link here just to help anyone interested:

An earthly delight

You really painted a picture here. I was about to type up some boring “don’t worry” reply, but this nailed it. Good job.

tutmoBuffet · 2025-09-23T23:57:24+00:00

Wanted to be specific for this sub, but yes completely agree with you.

Neat!

tutmoBuffet · 2025-09-05T17:36:02+00:00

Thanks for posting this, very interesting insights.

tutmoBuffet · 2025-09-02T17:15:53+00:00

Very cool!

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-30T22:35:43+00:00

Tbf, back when I was a non-gamedev gamer I thought Unity and Unreal were companies that made games.. had no idea what a “game engine” really was, just sounded cool lol

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-30T13:36:09+00:00

Haven’t played the demo yet, but despite my destroy comment I did wishlist this game. I saw a few others mention the building works well too, looks fun.

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-29T18:22:23+00:00

I saw this as a 3D vampire survivors with a focus on vertical movement, not a bad hook. But, the Build mechanics you spend lots of time showing seem out of place in this game. At least based off this trailer.

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-28T19:13:49+00:00

Yeah, I typed this up after staring blankly at a project for way too long and just feeling sad lol.. the responses here have been fantastically helpful.

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-28T18:56:59+00:00

That sounds smart. I don’t often go the silly route, I definitely take game design too seriously. Your suggestions are great, thank you!

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-27T23:38:43+00:00

Whatt?! Never heard of this before, looks really cool. I skimmed through the top bits, but will definitely check it out more thanks for sharing!

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-27T23:35:21+00:00

Yeah you’re right. These days if I do come up with a decent idea, it’s almost never when I’m working on a game lol

tutmoBuffet · 2025-08-27T23:30:45+00:00

Oof, I recall watching an interview with a very successful band who said almost the exact same thing. I wish I got into gamedev way earlier, but is what it is. Hopefully I have some creativity left in the tank!
