How to Make an Excellent Steam Page Every month, Akupara tries to share some knowledge with the #indiedev community and August was my turn! This is ~2.5k words on how I go about making Steam pages. Hope this helps! www.akuparagames.com/2026/08/26/h...
At the top of the image, a banner says "Akupara Industry Blogs." The image shows the tortoise Chronos smiling at a Steam logo with two cans of paint to represent putting a page together.

Sometimes you just need to pause to be grateful. Rain World was featured as a deep discount in the Steam Summer sale. The base game sold 1.1 MILLION copies as well as 200K more units between the two DLCs. The players showed up in a big way and we're beyond grateful. @videocultmedia.bsky.social

I'm looking to make a control deck that focuses on removal and disruption. In a world where all my friends play battlecruiser, engine-based decks, I want to find something that can shut them down. How do you make a deck centered on interaction without getting outvalued constantly?
