that's because it means your indie game will have a chance to appear on players Store UI in place of AAA games curated by Valve. The personal calendar has seen indie games get a huge increase in wishlists and it SHOULD be the same with the new changes!

Right now, the events and discounts section is curated by humans at Steam, but from early 2027 they are switching to a personalized, dynamic section that's similar to the new "personal calendar" feature. If you know anything about the personal calendar, this is great for you 👇

📣 New Steam changes to the "events and discounts" section are going to be HUGE for #indiedevs. These changes are coming into effect from early 2027 and should result in more wishlists for indie games. More info 👇 #indiegames #gamedev steamcommunity.com/groups/steam...

Marketing isn't something you switch on as an afterthought, it's something you gradually build over time long before release. Ideally, you should be spending just as much effort on developing a marketing plan as developing your game

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I sometimes see developers say they'll "start marketing" after they finish the game or right as the game is launching. The challenge is that visibility takes time to build. Every post, demo, festival and community interaction is part of the process. 👇

With the Xbox layoffs marking the latest decimation of AAA games, it seems like there's no better time to be hustling as an indie dev. Plus, we get to play games that aren't just the same recycled ideas over and over 👌 #indiegames #indiegamedev

Hopefully, the talks with Gamescom's director are productive and prevent this happening again because indie games are an easy target - few employees to watch the booth, looser security, and no one expects it to happen. Indies are the future of gaming, Gamescom should act like it.

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Really wishing Ryan and others that were affected by Gamescom thefts like @iam8bit.com the best ♥️ It's heart-breaking to see indies put so much effort, work, and money into showing the world their game, only for Gamescom to let them down👇 #indiegames #gamescom #gamedev

You have one chance to pitch your game to creators and press. So, instead of writing a press release that regurgitates the features and mechanics from your Steam Store, spend time building a story to tell - what's YOUR unique perspective, what your game's unique spin on the genre is, etc.

000

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Most devs start by asking "how can I get more wishlists or sales" - that's no unreasonable, but it doesn't get to the root of the problem, which is what will make people care in the first place 👇

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Whenever I look at an indie game and am ideating a campaign, I start by asking myself one question: why will someone remember this game or the person who made it tomorrow? This is an area I see indie devs struggling with when they do their own PR and marketing 👇 #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

After working in games journalism, editorial roles, and indie game PR, I started noticing a pattern: Most indie games don’t struggle because they lack quality; they struggle because traditional PR visibility hasn’t kept up with how games are actually discovered today #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

An engaged community is the best form of marketing, and that starts right at the beginning of development. This also comes in the form of developing relationships with people outside the dev community - press, creators, players.

000

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Share development on socials. Release a demo nice and early. Take part in events. Appear Steam Next Fests. Launch day should feel like the next chapter for your audience, not the first introduction. The more of your journey you share, the more people root for you.

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Most games can list their features, like "open world", "crafting", or "co-op". Press & creators remember stories, not feature lists. Instead of "What does my game have?" Ask "What's interesting about this game that only it can say?" That's usually where the real pitch begins.

Tempest PR - PR and marketing for indie games @tempestgamespr.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

📢The best email pitch isn't about features How to structure marketing emails is a problem that a lot of indie devs run into - and rightly so. They haven't been journalists, content creators, or PR. Here's how to approach pitches 👇 #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev
