But please don’t spend money on my previous games, I recognize that they aren’t that good I don’t want to burden anyone financially with them (I loved every minute of making them, but I was still a noob back then).
It definitely helps. Every dev I’ve heard talking about releasing a game stresses wishlisting. I forget why, unfortunately. It might make it more noticable, sort of like likensub on YouTube.
I do know that refunding a game is the absolute worst thing you can do to it.
I think its because people who wishlisted will get a notification to buy it once its out, boosting the game’s sales at launch, giving it a better chance to be featured on the front pages
One of my friends has your game wishlisted. That’s one more than I expected to see based on your post, so shoutouts to you for exceeding expectations! Hope you keep making better and better games. :)

You’re not my mum! I bought Be a Rock anyway. Keep going, make games!
Would you mind explaining how wishlisting a game helps the devs? Is it an algorithm thing? Will it be shown to more people when it is being wishlisted more?
I will advertise this to my friends, they have lots of young people in their circles that go through games at a good pace. This looks right up their alley.
If you want to support me, a wishlist of my current game will mean the world to me: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/

Wish listed! Also bought Be a Rock, I look forward to being a rock later tonight, it sounds fantastic!
Does Wishlisting a game help the developer in anyway other than indicating excitement for a game?
I’d love to know if there an any incentive to interacting with a game’s store page other than buying a game, obviously.
If Steam gives a bonus for that kind of thing, I’m going to be a lot more generous with my clicks.

Good catch, I didn’t think about that.
I love that the Lemmy workshopped toaster has made it to the Steam page already.
Wish listed!

yeah pretty much, if a ton of people wishlist a game it pops up more on the front pages of categories bc that means it’s rlly popular

WOW! Thank you so much! Word of mouth is important for small indie dev teams
My partner and I are both buying “Do Not Press The Button” as soon as it’s out. I’ve also told my friends about it lawl
Seems like our bag for sure.
The screenshots sell it well. That’s some funny stuff. I’ll check out the demo.
Thank you :)
