⏱ 1-minute launch drill
Open your current build and ask:
What could I show from this game today?
Choose only one:
* one clear screenshot
* one 10-second gameplay clip
* one mechanic GIF
* one before/after comparison
If you cannot show anything yet, don’t build a full trailer.
Build one small moment worth sharing.
🎯 Marketing becomes easier when you collect proof of progress while developing — instead of trying to create everything at the end.

💼 A publisher is not a rescue plan
A publisher can bring:
- funding
- marketing
- localization
- console ports
- platform contacts
But none of that is automatic.
Before signing, ask:
- What exactly will they deliver?
- Which expenses are recouped first?
- How is “net revenue” calculated?
- Who owns the IP?
- What happens if they stop marketing the game?
- Can you recover the publishing rights?
⚠️ Common mistake:
Developers focus on the revenue split and ignore everything deducted before that split begins.
A “good percentage” can become a bad deal if costs, rights, and obligations are unclear.
🎯 Rule to remember:
Don’t ask only what the publisher takes.
Ask what the publisher is contractually required to give.

⚠️ Myth: your game must be perfect before release
Trying to match AAA quality usually creates one result:
the game never ships.
Your first release does not need:
- every planned feature
- endless content
- perfect animations
- support for every platform
- months of invisible polishing
It needs:
- a working core loop
- stable performance
- clear controls
- enough content to prove the idea
- no problems that destroy trust
✅ Quick fix:
Split every remaining task into 3 groups:
- Must fix — blocks play or ruins the experience
- Can wait — useful, but not essential
- Cut — costs time without strengthening the core
🎯 Rule to remember:
A smaller released game can earn money, feedback, and experience.
A perfect unfinished game earns nothing.

🧠 Myth: You need motivation to work on your game.
Reality: Motivation often appears after you begin.
The problem is that “work on the game” feels too large.
So reduce the entry point.
Instead of:
❌ improve combat
Write:
✅ add one hit sound
✅ test enemy knockback
✅ fix one attack animation
Then work for only 10 minutes.
You are allowed to stop after that.
Most of the time, starting is the hardest part — not continuing.
🎯 Make the first step smaller than your resistance.

🛒 Steam, Epic, or itch io? Choose by goal
Different stores solve different problems.
Steam
Use it for a full PC launch setup:
store page, wishlists, festivals, community features, and built-in analytics.
Epic Games Store
Worth considering when revenue share matters.
Developers currently keep 100% of the first $1M in annual net revenue per product, then 88%.
itch.io
Useful for prototypes, game jams, early builds, and limited playtests.
Creators can choose how much revenue share goes to itch.io.
⚠️ Common mistake:
Choosing a store only by its revenue cut.
🎯 Rule to remember:
A better percentage means little if the store does not fit your audience or launch plan.

📊 Stop guessing where your players come from
If you share the same Steam link everywhere, you learn almost nothing.
Create a separate UTM link for each source:
- YouTube
- Reddit
- X
- Discord
- newsletters
Steam can then show which links brought visits, wishlists, and purchases.
✅ Do this today:
- create 3 tracked links
- use each link in one specific place
- compare the results
- stop investing time in sources that bring clicks but no action
🎯 Rule to remember:
Traffic shows who clicked.
Conversions show what actually worked.

📉 Myth: wishlists predict your launch sales
10,000 wishlists do not equal a predictable number of sales.
Wishlists are useful:
players may receive notifications when your game releases, launches a demo, or gets a qualifying discount.
But wishlist quality varies enormously.
Someone who played your demo and loved it is not the same as someone who clicked after seeing one viral post.
✅ Use wishlists to measure interest — not guaranteed revenue.
A better question is:
Which trailer, festival, creator, or post brought people who genuinely care about the game?
Use separate UTM links for each campaign and compare the results.
🎯 Rule to remember:
Wishlist count shows attention.
It does not promise sales.

⏳ Steam Next Fest: work backwards from the deadline
A demo made at the last minute is usually a buggy slice of the wrong part of the game.
For the October 2026 Next Fest:
- August 31: registration deadline
- September 21: submit early for the press preview
- October 5: required items must be in review
- October 19: the festival begins
✅ Prepare in this order:
- choose one short slice that shows the core appeal
- make the first minute easy to understand
- test it on people who haven’t seen the game
- fix crashes, blockers, and confusing moments
- submit before the deadline — not on it
Your demo doesn’t need every feature.
It needs to make players understand the game, enjoy its strongest idea, and want more.
🎯 Rule to remember:
A festival demo is not a smaller full game.
It is your best promise, delivered quickly.

🎮 A mechanic can work perfectly and still feel broken.
Imagine this:
You hit an enemy.
No sound.
No flash.
No movement.
The HP number quietly changes.
Technically, the hit worked.
But to the player, it feels like nothing happened.
⚡ Before changing the mechanic, add one clear response:
- a short hit sound
- a quick animation
- a visible impact
- a small camera reaction
You do not always need more content.
Sometimes the game just needs to answer the player.
🎯 Every important action needs a visible or audible response.

🛠 Engine update: don’t upgrade for the version number
Current releases:
- Unity 6.5 — latest Supported release
- Unity 6.3 — current LTS
- Unreal Engine 5.8 — latest UE5 release
- Godot 4.7 — current stable release
A newer engine is not automatically better for your project.
✅ Upgrade when it solves:
- a real performance problem
- missing platform support
- a production blocker
- a bug affecting your game
⚠️ Before upgrading:
- duplicate the project
- check breaking changes
- test your plugins and assets
- make a build for the target platform
🎯 Rule to remember:
An engine update should remove project risk — not create more of it.
