Next Fest Recap - Thank You!

Before and after. Thank you!

Bear in mind the scale, so yes this is all humble, but hoo-wee, thanks for all the support! That first bump there is you. That early bump was essential to get moved up in the search results for our categories. The main goal of putting out a demo for Next Fest was to generate traction with wish lists. Things are now rolling along nicely. If you haven't yet, you can check out the demo and hopefully wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3289060/CRUFT/ We're starting to get great feedback. The only way to get this game "right" is to have humans play it and give/share/rant their thoughts. It is a glorious loop. Daily feedback is amazingly motivating and the game is already better for it. Getting those wish lists early is now giving us a steady flow of users to bang their heads against the game and tell me what could be better. This is all just off a tiny demo with no real marketing outside of blogging (from a very tiny little corner of the internet on a company page that no one knows about) and direct harassment of friends. Discoverability is rough but you have to start somewhere and work your way up. We are going just that.

Short and sweet. The train is moving. The numbers are small but growing across the board and we even have a review. Not too shabby.

Now it's time to make the rest of the game!
