I think the personal calendar on Steam is way better than popular upcoming...
Looking at the stats of my upcoming little experiment for the Steam Deck, which I hardly promote, I see that 55% of the store page visitors are coming from the Personal Calendar. And it makes sense. I also rather not sift through a lot of garbage before I find a gem. Probably hitting 2000 wishlist today or tomorrow for my small project.
Also the old popular upcoming was way too overrated in my opinion and more like a: "See I made it!" for the dev. And ofcourse totally valid to be proud if your game gets into popular upcoming, but I think it would be less visibility compared to the personal calendar.

Turning my Steam Deck into a Mini AirHockey table
This is a very little tiny project that is almost ready for release. Just to whip out the Steam Deck to play a little bit of AirHockey utilizing the touchpads of the Steam Deck :)

Tips for self published Switch game
Hi everyone! I published my own little Switch game (also available for the Steam Deck) and it is hard to get the Switch version noticed. The Steam Deck version is doing great sales wise. Was wondering if there are people with experience self promoting a Switch game.

Using the gyroscope for this 3D effect in my Switch/Steam Deck game: Game With Balls
Hi everyone! Thought I share my little game for the two handhelds I own: Game With Balls. When I released it everyone was saying: Why not 3D?! So now I have added 20 new levels to the Switch and Steam Deck that are 3D and if you have those red/blue glasses you can even make it more 3D!

Added 20 new 3D levels to my little gyroscope game: Game With Balls
Hi everyone! I have added 20 new levels to my little project Game With Balls. Using the gyroscope to give the 3D effect and if you have anaglyph glasses (those red/blue cartboard ones) you can even play them in more 3D!

A little plugin to password protect your editor
Work in broadcast production all the time where I’m not near the actual UE machine. So I made a little password protection plugin so other people can’t accidentally click around in my editor while I’m away. Still can reach it with all remote protocols for playout etc.
The plugin does not protect your files. Just protects it from unwanted inputs.

Using the gyroscope in my Steam Deck game to give that 3D effect
Hi everyone! A new update is coming to my little Steam Deck game with 20 new levels. After all your feedback saying it was lacking a 3D effect, I decided to add a whole new theme focused on that. Ah, and it will also include an option to enable Anaglyph 3D. Those old-school red/blue glasses. The new theme is releasing on May 18th.
