For my horror game and mixed-media lovers out there, the FIRST demo for Dead Format is now available to play!
Use illegal VHS tapes to venture through iconic film eras.
By the one and only @katanalevy.bsky.social, it's truly something wonderful. Give it a try 📼

We just hit 100K wishlists for Roadside Research, our upcoming "very human" gas station simulator

Our reasoning was
- enter SNF with a proven demo to see if it impacts players
- prep a beat prior on our own time
- do a campaign during a less busy period
(tinfoil hat) I THINK it worked out. When June rolled around we had patched the game and people liked it
and less stress!!

There is some good news though, as SNF can bring in new players if you have a demo worth other people's time, and you know it's fun / validated
Interestingly enough Easy Delivery Co. is one of the few games where demo ccu actually increased during the fest + we got new feedback

Organizing your entire demo reveal beat sounds incredibly stressful considering the fact that hundreds of others are doing the same
(+ the games in the top charts are mostly expensive af)
Good luck facing off against bilibili, ubisoft, devolver, kwalee for attention

There's a common misconception that Next Fest will inherently provide players to your game demo, but with 2000 other games in the mix - it's hard to stand out (duh)
This just means that SNF is not a dependable discovery opp anymore, and that's ok!
thanks for this @hanney.bsky.social 💕

Is Steam Next Fest a visibility opportunity for any participating game? Not really
We went in with Easy Delivery Co. floating around 105.000 wishlists, and we didn't organize any major beat around the June edition (demo launched back in April)

A mix of multiplayer sim + twist was the goal from the start. After Order 13, Cybernetic knew they could pull off a good quality sim experience
A lot of games have been making waves in this space, so why not give it our own shot.

Cybernetic Walrus have been developing the game for 2 months now, and limiting scope on what the trailer would show was vital to make it on time
All videos are taken in the same environment, with some cinematic shots taken by the dev team for a really polished feel

Stijn made an insanely engaging trailer. We storyboarded a format following popular "interview" style trends that were popping off on TT & IG, which also harkens back to The Office, Parks & Rec, etc
This is a very US-centric game after all, so why not lean into it all the way

Our timing was tight, we started preparing for the reveal in May.
We opted to reveal the game on June 3rd, one day before all the showcases and streams would kick off.
This meant that press, creators, and socials would be less bloated than the days to come.
