Also featuring surprise rambling about being on steam for a year
One potentially interesting observation is that 60% of my wishlists came in the first 2 weeks, and the remaining 40% have trickled in over the subsequent 12 months.  Sometimes spikes come from a social media post getting shared, other times they appear to be residual “More Like This” clicks from people trying similar games during a big sale or next fest.

I have been wondering if “wishlists are important for the algorithm” broke gamedev containment into a more public gaming consciousness this year and so one toxic thought that gnaws away at me is that if I had launched the page this year I may be sitting at a larger number already.  Isn't this fun? Aren't we having fun.

I also wonder if more public consumption of the algorithm mechanics will ultimately result in the wall heightening against the ladder.  I wonder if any of these metrics means anything. I wonder what steam will look like by the time the game is done.

Finished up a little leashing mechanic for if a baddie gets dragged too far away from their spawn. There's a ton of different ways games handle this but I like that this is kind of silly and cute. Consider wishlisting! store.steampowered.com/app/3919080/... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #roguelike

He created some of the useful custom feeds which you now can't use because you're blocked and the good professional website doesn't even know how to communicate that feature to you
