Steam Capitalism Fest

The Steam Capitalism Fest was another one of those unknowns in terms of sales, since we only participated in “regular” discounts so far, with our only previous festival being Next Fest. So far, the Capitalism Fest has been living up to its name, with Forge Industry having grossed >$300 in the first 3 days.

This is the exact same performance as the Winter Festival so far. However, one difference here is that so far there hasn’t been a big day 1 spike followed by a drop after the first 2 days. This is probably because we’re getting a lot more visibility from Steam now, as we also have a positive increase in wishlists (around 100 in the past 3 days), and another 275 demo downloads.

What’s next?
William finished character swapping yesterday, and now it’s all down to bugfixing. I’ve also worked through some backlog again, so I can join in the improving Songs of Everjade grind again.

Why did the indie dev go broke? He couldn’t keep his assets together.
