This is super useful information, thanks! I have a question: is there any limit to how long you can have your steam store published? Or can you have publish and set the release date to like 5 years into the future?

"In case you don't know what Steam is." :D

It is actually sad that you don't have more subscribers than you have right now - you definetly deserve it. That's also why I told some of the bigger youtubers that did some gameplay of the game to give a link or a shout out to your channel - now we will just have to wait and see ;D

I'm currently solo developing a game and this is extremely helpful for once I finish, thanks!

[AngryhammerGames]

Despite not having any technical details, this video was SUPER helpful and straight to the point. Thanks for the awesome video!

[AntiqueGear]

Yay, marketing!
Everyone hates it; but everyone needs it. yay.




Good video tho! I didn't know about the community section either lol

[raxxar]

Thank you for doing this, I've seen your game on steam and saw that you are actually a human being and the fact that you have a youtube channel is mindblowing to me, really, thank you for doing this, the more I see your face the more I want to get back in programming 🤗

Love how he uses "z" instead of "s"

"...zell games on Steam" (almost everywhere in vid where "sell" is used)
"...I wanna zee it!" (11:38)

Thanks Jonas for your comment on my channel, this video tutorial, indeed helped me, as an Indie designer, to create my first store page on Steam, and to sell my first video game this month, thanks for sharing your experiences with the community.
