I love this idea! Been marketing my own game for awhile just some things maybe worth looking into. Would love to be able to link my actual steam page so all the analytics actual plug in and it can give a better read of whats happening from the steam data. If maybe your quests and countdowns had maybe a more indepth breakdown and explanation. For example the 90 day countdown. Im not sure what Email your list means exactly. Which maybe something the pdf covers once you buy it. Which if you ever get it to where you can link straight to your steam page etc. Would love to reconsider buying this to use as a studio tool.

The idea is to get to a point of linking your steam page directly to your save data (kept local for you and not shared anywhere) with all the analytics you need to see how and where you’re performing.
The thing that is halting me at the moment is getting a Steam page as a reference point to make sure the analytics hooks work correctly! It’s built already to see some Steam data but only public-facing store info, I would need to use an API key to get the test completed so either need a helpful tester with a steam page or wait a little longer until I start getting my own Steam page set up and Guinea pig myself!
on the more depth; in the full build the pdf is directly accessible from the app in the tools as well as every mission section so that every mission links to the information for better clarity.
Oh and on the countdown being vague, that’s fair and it’s a demo problem rather than a you problem. “Email your list” means the launch announcement to people who signed up for updates. The paid version explains each step, but the demo shouldn’t leave you guessing. I’ll add a short explanation to every milestone so it stands on its own.
