We announced our game just over three months ago (March 12, 2026) and we just surpassed 2k wishlists on Steam. We are a small team (programmer + artist) making a Command & Conquer inspired RTS.

I wanted to quickly share some of the moments that have caused our bigger wishlist spikes.

• March 12: Announcement Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyTanPDMSfY
  • This performed poorly on YT, but pretty well on X and Reddit
  • YT short on March 21 did pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2nE4ecyXWUQ
• Mid May I had two very well performing shorts
  • 140k (views): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2nE4ecyXWUQ
  • 40k: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U6cnJw8T7NU
• Other YT shorts:
  • 16k: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Y4I0ttp8P8A
  • 5.2k: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wCr6xUIZnog
  • 2.9k: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JqvjxI316q4
  • 3.9k: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h41HsUvOqcA
  • 1.9k : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_oqJC-l1HJ8

I also post on X on a weekly basis, and multiple Reddit forums every two weeks ish. Im also slowly creating a large RTS content creator list that I will eventually reach out to when we have a demo in the works (long time from now).

I hope this information helps someone!

Admittedly, there is no aircraft yet, so he doesn't do a lot of anti-aircrafting at the moment. I do love the firing animation though!
