Good luck ! Actually, YouTube just recommended a Splattercatgaming video with a very familiar looking thumbnail. He's a much better player than I am.

Thanks,  I am also looking forward for the next week release. All those years of learning and last few months of development. Finally might bring some fruits :D

A piece of information nine months after releasing NEBULA to the world.

Reviews

At the moment i have 99 reviews very positive. I think that for a first  solo project it is quite good.

Financial results

Around $13.5k "net" - this ill be reduced by 30% steam cut and taxes. Nothing impressive but still nice result in my opinion. It keeps me going for the next title.

Wishlist

This is staying on around 4.5k with a 26% conversion rate.

Sales by country

I have only one language in the game therefore it was to be expected that US will be overwhelming leading compare to other countries.

What Next?

I am working on the next title Tiny Breakers Camp, hopefully to be release early next year. I really enjoy gamedev and want to continue it. If you want to help me and support this effort you can wishlist my next game and be there on release date.

Oh wow, congratulations ! This is a great result for a first solo project! Have you promoted your game somewhere?

[JuTek]

Hi, I have been promoting on any social media I know, plus i send hundreds of email to content creators. Some of those were really very helpful but majority never was answered. But I guess that is a standard in this business.

[ashpdewan]

Yeah, unfortunately that happens all the time. I remember sending emails to almost a hundred reviewers and let's players and in the end I got like 6 responses, 4 of which were rejections. Marketing the game is always such a headache.

I can give a little bit of the let's player's perspective on this. I get a lot of e-mails from people asking me to play their games, and the majority have been impersonal press release type things with games that really don't fit my style at all. If I'm going to publicly lend my voice to a game, that's not a commitment I'm going to make on a whim at the request of someone I've never heard from before.

The best way to get me interested would be to have some back-and-forth communication beforehand to establish a relationship. A lot of the e-mails I get contain a line like "I've been a fan of yours for a while", and unfortunately that doesn't really do the job - I need to recognize your name as someone I've interacted with before.

Fair point. Discord is a good place for this kind of connections.
I have reached, in direct exchange to some Steam Deck users and they were super happy to cover the game. It has actually give Nebula significant boost when the game get a "verified" mark

[JuTek]

Wow! 
This was beyond my expectation. Hardcoregamer has featured Nebula in the article related to Steam Bullet Heaven Fest.

But what is the best is that Nebula is just next to the titles like Brotato, VS, and 20mtd... this is super cool !
