Each enchantment gets its own shader so you can tell what you’ve installed to your machine at a glance.

Still tweaking them and adding more, but I’m really happy with how they look already!

We started making our pinball roguelike a year ago and were thrilled to learn that Steam is hosting a Pins & Pegs festival, where our niche game could actually enter!

Then, the first bump: A bit over a month prior to the event we learned that you need to have your Steam page public to enroll. We had planned on pushing it out a few days before the festival. Well, fair enough. We managed to push a placeholder Steam page out so that we could enroll. 

Try one: a week later we got a red light from Valve. Some graphical assets did not meet Valve’s requirements. Damn. Well, another try, now with fixed graphical assets. 

Try two - a week later another red light. Goddamnit. This time it was some other graphical asset that now had a bit too much black in one of its edges.

Try three - one more week later we finally managed to get the Steam page published. Okay. All good, right? Well, not quite. We then learned that if you have missed the time when they send all applicable games an email asking if they want to join the event (like 6-8 weeks prior), you have to try to get in by making an appeal. Yikes.

Well, to cut a long story short, another week later we got an email confirmation that our game is now registered for the Pins and Pegs festival! We cut it a bit too close to my liking. Sadly we had to go in with just a Steam page without a demo, but I’m still really hopeful for our game to get a few eyes on it!

If there’s something for you to learn here: when it comes to publishing anything on Steam, never leave anything to the last minute.

We were sitting at around 100 wishlists before this, and today our game unexpectedly showed up in the announcements section of Skill Up’s This Week in Videogames.

I’m slightly terrified to open Steamworks. Anything I should be doing right now to capitalize on this?

For context, we’re at 17:12:

Also yes, it is an ironing board

We just announced our pinball roguelike PINBOMB. This is our first game, first ever Steam page, and honestly I have no idea what I am doing :D I would be very glad for any and all feedback and comments on the page, and especially how well it reads as a fun chaotic pinball roguelike by just skimming the page.

Here's a link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4869310/PINBOMB/

Me and three of my friends love pinball. We decided to make a game, where you can swap all of your parts into better ones to try to create an absolutely gamebreaking score-monster.

Even though we LOVE pinball, we're no experts. So I thought this would be a good place to find people who could point out some obvious "this sucks" points!

We have a Steam page up here (link), would love to hear some feedback from the pinball community!
