Hey folks, Andy here from Funk Games.

Just a quick rundown of how our demo launch week went for our new cozy pollution cleaning active incremental game, Sludgineers.

* A month previous we had released an itch demo with the steam page to garner wishlists, the majority of the traffic was from incrementaldb, followed by itch itself, and from the incremental games subreddit post. Gained about 700 wishlists.
* We released the steam demo last Tuesday.
* For the past week I had been actively emailing content creators, contacting creators on bilibili, social posting / reaching out to creators via DM, incremental games subreddit post, and broadcasting the press release as the bulk of the marketing effort. And also submitted the trailer to IGN / Game Trailers and it was listed on Game Trailers.

As of today we have surpassed 6,000 total wishlists as per dashboard.

We had a spike on itch demo launch, a small blip halfway through which I believe was from a creator, then we're still riding the steam demo launch spike. It seems to be on the decline now, but the spike itself was fairly sustained for a few days.

We've had roughly 70 videos made on the game by creators so far with around 250k views ish, several streams, with more expected to come, as the turnaround can take a while. We've seen a varied range of sub counts, a few around 150k, 400k, 1.8 mil, 4 mil at the top end. My demo email campaign was targeting creators up to 300k subs max. Bilibili is direct messaging, but limited to 5 a day, so it takes a while... had 5 reasonable view count videos so far from it.

Thanks for reading, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

Cheers <3
