I haven't checked, but very likely wishlists.

It's not selling too much, but sale-to-review ratio is great. 😁

Oh, thanks for playing and sharing! ☺️

I can't believe how quickly time flies by. It's almost 16 months since the release! 🤯 That said, Without a Dawn is currently 60% off, so it's around 3€ on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... I wouldn't mind more people finding this dark little experience! 💚 #steam #horror #gamedev

Thanks! They are worth 5€ for sure. 😆

I really don't know what else to type here, but that most of my games are on sale on Steam. 😂 Here's "Stories That Matter" -bundle: store.steampowered.com/bundle/20202... Thanks for checking it out! 💚 #Steam #indiegame #gamedeals

I just replayed Without a Dawn for testing something, and I must say, it is my best game to date if you can call it a game. 😄

Hey, thank you so much for recommending my game! I'm super happy how it turned out. 😊

Hehe, thank you so much! 😊

Hehe, I've been creating story-driven, 2D horror for over ten years. "Entirely different" here means gameplay first approach. 😁

Can't wait to show this! 😁

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 16/07/2026

I've been creating something entirely different the past few months. Game logic and UI have been very difficult for me, but I feel I'm slowly getting it right. It will be exciting to see what comes out of this! 👀 #gamedev

It never seems to stop. 😆

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 13/07/2026

I created a cool visual UI element and how it functioned, etc. But after testing it in-game, it feels too slow, and if I speed it up, it's no longer informative. It can be difficult to drop something you like, but it needs to be just right! Back to the drawing table. 😅 #gamedev

Thanks, Terry! That's very kind of you. 😊

Hey guys! Without a Dawn, DISTRAINT and Heal are on sale on Steam: store.steampowered.com/publisher/je... I create thoughtful, dark stories with some horror elements in the mix. If you have any leftovers from the Summer Sale in your Steam Wallet, here's how to use them! 😁 #steam #indiegame

Joo toki 40e ja 2h ois jo aika extreme. 😄 Mut henkilökohtaisesti mielummin jokin hyvä lineaarinen yksinpeli (esim 6-12h) vs nykyiset avoimen maailman grindit jossa ns toistettua sisältöä hirveesti.

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 07/07/2026

Heheh, indeed! Well, I feel very lucky with the people who bought my game as they're not refunding. ☺️

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 07/07/2026

Without a Dawn, around 40-50 minutes long, linear, and barely a game, and it costs 7.99$, has a refund rate of 3.6%, which I feel is incredibly low. That said, I find it stupid that some asshat people can complete your game, enjoy it, and refund. 😅 #gamedev

I'm losing more wishlists than gaining during the Summer Sale, so... 😆

Thanks for spreading the word! 😊

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 29/06/2026

I'm a little late to the party, but all my games are discounted on the Steam Summer Sale! So if you buy them, and your friends buy them, I can pay the bills! 😆 store.steampowered.com/publisher/je... #SteamSummerSale #indiegame #horrorgame

It can be so tricky! My UI is relatively simple, yet it proves to be challenging, so I can only imagine your scenario. 😅

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 23/06/2026

Hey, thanks for the offer! It's still too much of a WIP for me to show it to anyone, but thanks for checking! 😁

Jesse Makkonen @jessemakkonen.com · 23/06/2026

Oh man, good UI design is difficult! I think I had a pretty decent one for the game I'm currently creating, but there's something "off" about it. It's difficult to make it visually clean while still communicating its purpose to the player. Well, every failed attempt still helps a lot! #gamedev

Whoa, super cool to see Without a Dawn mentioned. Thanks! 😊
