Released My First Game On STEAM | A Quick Recap 

For all who dont spenden 12 Minute of your life to see the journey this guy was make... He earned about 500 $

The important distinction on the total gain being not only limited by the end product's profit, but the skills and various thing one posseses throughout the making of the end product is such a wise thing to point out. Inspiring for gamedevs.

A game like this is more appropriate for the mobile audience. Players on steam come to expect a certain level of quality and your game still looked very much like a prototype game. Trying releasing again but on iOS and Android.

Clicked on this video expecting the usual quick devlog which shows the profit at the end. Instead, I found a really relatable video about the struggle of making a game after coming from work and trying to combine it all with a decent social life. Good stuff! Keep going and I hope you're doing better, don't be so hard on yourself because that can really put you in a dark place, speaking from experience.

Have you ever seen the archer characters from Genshin Impact ? I think a third person game with a female archer who shoots heartshaped balloons would be awesome, you could even release an adult version of this game on Steam or Nutaku. Creators like Xandra, MoonCat, Ida Faber, ... and many others got great models that got an extended license (you are allowed to make everything with the models), the models cost not much and are sometimes even on sale 50% off.

I really appreciate your honest description of how you felt and how things happened, can't wait to watch your progression and next learning experiences!

Great video man! Keep at it

I love the way you edited the video. Continuou the good work.

Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Releasing a game must be one of the hardest things in the world. Congrats on that achievement. Thanks for the motivational video.

Just wanted to point out that you missed out on the name Bowloon... :) Good vid, I make games too so I enjoyed your video, thumbs up! :)

Can't wait to see your next game!

Thank you for sharing your story. Can’t wait to see what success the next game brings you.

Mate, I did buy your game and it's a fun game, but please do some updates as there are things that drive me crazy. Here are some ideas: 1) When i started the game, i couldn't skip the guys naration. Implement a skip or fast forward option. 2) In the tutorial section, you can use text to tell people what to do instead of listening to something that they can't skip. 3) When the character levels up, do a 1-2 seconds of not being able to click as i've clicked on things i didn't so many times, like 90% of the time. 4) When the character leves up, the upgrades screen pops up, but the enemies still move towards you for half/1 second. It's really bad when i level up and i get hit because the enemies didn't stop when the upgrade screen showed up. 5) When i started the game, because i could not skip the narations, the music was so loud that it made the first impresion really annoying. 6) Implement going back/ exiting an upgrade menu/deck whne pressing "esc button" 7) Inprelent a sound or a red flash, something that will indicate/tell the player that they were hit as i have to constantly look at my health and this takes away from the gameplay. Don't get me wrong mate, i like the game a lot and it's really fun, but i hope that you understand that it's really annoying when you have a good game and some a lot of those things happen while playing. Anyway, going back at it as i need to level up the deck.

Watching videos like this makes me realize how lazy I am and how much more time I could be putting into actually doing something. I mean, I have more free than many people who, although bearly have it, still strive to at least work an hour a day on something they're passionate about. Good video, man.

Absolutely insane you didnt link your game. I'll never understand why my fellow devs do this. Very few people will take the time to manually look for it. Yeah it takes 2 seconds, but those 2 seconds need to be respected, no? Time is the most valuable thing a human has.

Very inspiring that you put out a game on limited time and programming know how. I look forward to seeing your growth!

That was one heck of a dev story

So not only you made game with achievements and other functionalities, you also learned how to make good video edits. Congratulations man !

Ben de diyorum neden bu adamın İngilizcesini alt yazı olmadan anlayabiliyorum. Meğer Türk'müşsün. 😂 Hayırlı olsun kardeşim, umarım istediğin yerlere gelirsin, takibe aldım kanalını👍👍

Awesome video bro. I just randomly saw this video and buy you game. Nice job!

subed also good man

dude I'd be fine with $100 so that I could publish the next game without saving more money. I knew that my games will gradually be better and people will getting more interest the more better games I make. The most important part for me is to be able to live and further improve myself and develop better games.

Bought the game - absolutely love it!

Hey thank your for the content ! One thing, I really struggle with the zoom in / zoom out on every image, every few seconds. That combined with the slight movement of the image, I feel like I'm on a boat and I can't stand watching the whole video. Maybe you can vary a bit the montage, make it more dynamic, less predictable ? Have a great game dev journey

It's great that you're sharing this info but you have to make an effort not to speak like an AI. Theres too much of that. Show some emotion please.

500th sub

is the voice over ai generated? it sounds super robotic

I really loved this video! Only thing I didn't like was the voiceover 😭 it was tiring to listen to. I'm glad you learned a lot through your indie game dev experience and you're willing to share it with the world. This gave me a lot of insight on releasing a game. Thank you for sharing!

U got a sub brush

It used to be, in the business world, location, location, location. That philosophy still applies, however, in an online scenario, i would only guess it's promotion, promotion, promotion. Whatever and however you can get the word out, links, word of mouth, use all the platforms you can, and blast your game out. T-shirts, mugs, pens ..anything you can put a link on, or logo of your game...or a website for it...whatever you can do. Since you already made the game, just a matter of letting the world know now.

Epik!

your game sold 254 copies! damn cool man, whats the wishlist count that you had? Im still on the process of making my game, if you share the wishlist count it will help me analyze and learn from them

If my first Steam game earns $100, I WILL BE extremely happy. GZ!

Dude, if you haven't shown a video of your game in 11 minutes, why do I have to go to the Steam to buy it?

How many wishlists did you have on launche

inspiring 😂

Im sorry but the editing is making me motion sick lmfao. Im sure the vid is great but i gotta dip

I wouldn't give up on financial success so easily. That "failed indie game state" sounds like a lack of promotion to me. What kind of marketing did you do? Have you tried getting content creators to play your game for example? Anyway, have a like for your inspirational content and keep up the good work!

Can someone tell me the name of the game? The promotion is awful, not even a link to the steam page anywhere in the video description

just work with a publisher

Hey, come on. Playing vampire survivors instead of developing on your own game. We've all been at this point 🤣

Shut Up!!!
