There's not much to add to this, really...

I knew (hoped) that having the big marketing beats in front of me (press outreach, Next Fest, etc.) could change the trajectory of my wishlist curve. Still, I felt discouraged more and more about the slow rise in wishlists.

I also knew that a comparison to successful posts about wishlists was always difficult because there are so many different factors. Each game is different, social media works differently for different genres, games are at different stages of development and Steam pages are created at different times in the development cycle.

Then, suddenly, yesterday this article was published and it changed a lot as you can see:

I don't like to give general advice because each game is different, but this one here stays true I believe: Share your game! I posted in a Reddit sub and because of that it was picked up by the author who wrote the article.

I'm trying to enjoy the rise but I also know that \~2600 still isn't incredibly high so the grind continues. But my perspective changed for the better!

16 months of development and only 725 wishlists. I had to work hard for each one of them. Then, suddenly, an article was written about my game and I nearly tripled that amount in 24 hours!
