I had changed the release date of my game a couple weeks ago, to show the date on the Steam page rather than just "coming soon". That'll be in about 2 weeks time.

​

I was sitting at a crisp 900 wishlists, and had a

running bet with my friends on if I crack the 1k

wishlists before release (not doing any marketing/

promo). I firmly believed no, as I was sitting at an

average daily wishlist rate of about 0-2 per day.

​

Well just two weeks later l'm now at 1.1k, still with

no marketing.

​

I was at a loss, and couldn't find any articles, posts, or videos that would've caused the boost.

​

Until it clicked.

​

I think the boost is coming from the recent addition of the Steam calendar. Inadvertently timing the release with the release of this new Steam feature is giving me visibility I wasn't getting before.

​

Anyone else found the same?
