Hey all,
This past Satuday was my first time posting to SS Sat, in fact it was my first time letting anything about my game, Crescent, out into the wild at all! (In fact I put up the website just to host the images!)
This gave me the opportunity to view the traffic generated by posting in just these two places: Here on TIGSource's own SS Sat thread, and on the SS Sat thread over on Reddit's /r/gamedev)
Here are the raw stat logs:

http://www.thistleforgegames.comNeither of our posts generated much immediately noticeable interest (replies or whatnot) However we got over 600 visits and over 2800 hits from just those two locations for an unknown, unannounced game!
What this means is that even if people are not commenting on your images they
are looking at them, in large numbers! So make sure you post tomorrow!
