Haha, thank you!

Tbh I just took a random screenshot and pixelized it, so I'm not sure :D

Also, check our Steam and Discord! We are running a playtest now and launching a totally new demo soon :)

Thank you!

Also, about marketing - sorry for unsolicited advice, but if you decide to get into it - I highly recommend this guy: 

• Steam festivals + streamers are almost the only way to get your game seen. Festivals are by far the easiest - you just need to get in
• Demo is a must, and it has to be at the very least 30min+
• Capsule art is super important - more important than almost anything else in getting people to see your page
• You need to have your page and demo up for at least half a year (and actively promote it, i.e. contact streamers and participate in festivals) before your game releases
• To get into "popular upcoming", usually you need ~7000 wishlists by launch

I really wish you good luck in all this if you decide to dive in! I found it way less frustrating in terms of trying to market when you feel like you know what you are doing, so actively engaging with this guy's content really helped me with motivation after a few months of posting stuff on reddit and twitter and getting nowhere :))

Hello hello!

I also decided to go for the full-game development last year, and this was really a year of learning!

I never had games rated as high as yours on GWJ, and my best game so far - Final Form, the only one that ended up in the top-10. So the first half of the year I spent trying to bring it to a full game... 

But then I participated in another jam - GMTK - our game was very well received, and I persuaded the team to make that one into a full game. And largely because I recognized that we have some marketing/visibility potential that Final Form lacks. 

So I've made a trailer, it went micro-viral, we got ~1000 wishlist in a week, and we are still working on bringing a bigger version of the game... This is the game btw: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3959020/Imagine_Sisyphus_Happy/

So, besides development, the second half of the year was all about learning to market and feature your game on Steam :) Happy to share some tips and experience based on what I learnt - I'm very far from pro, but I do think I mostly figured out the most basic steps. And figured out where to look for good advice :)

Really nice cozy game, congrats on the victory!

there is "sort" tool, if that's what you ask abou

Yep, I've made a JS script to run in the browser to scrape it.
If you want to see with other weights - feel free to copy the table and apply weights! The best way to do it in Excel is using the sumprod function, or you can make it in whatever other software you like :) 

Крутая игра! 

Your average rank is #518 in GMTK 2025! Good job!

Here is the link with all the rankings: 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pcYEGvaHF3y30mMEWwywmkRd2FCpo-u3_ZFpPFSoVr0/edit?usp=sharing

I felt bad that there was no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

Congrats, great result!

Thank you! Yep, sequence vs simultaneous - that was our big miss...

Totally! With #3 in creativity, I think it absolutely should! 

The average score I posted is not an attempt to say that it is the "real score," etc - just an average that many teams would love to see along with other numbers.

Done :)

Didn't mean to discourage you! You did a great job and totally congrats on top-10 in narrative!

And #242 overall is also totally something to be proud of!

Sorry, this totally wasn't aimed at discouraging you! You did a great job!

Getting #5 in enjoyment is a huge achievement and well deserved! Congrats on that!

Moreover, #716 overall is also a very good score - it's top-10%, and it's great to see how great work in joy department can drive the rest of the game quite high!

Thank you! :) 

He definitely should! #1 on narrative is fantastic!

Actually that was my next thing to do, will do like 1-2 hours :)

Tbh writing a script to collect data was very fast and simple, but posting it everywhere took ages :D Especially because itch wanted me to pause after every 5-10 posts :)
