The Crust: Steam Next Fest October 2023

all right welcome final day steam nextfest I'm here welcoming you um welcome to steam nextfest the final day uh good to see all of you um today I'm streaming the crust which wouldn't have been my first choice for a name I mean it's a totally fine name just uh crusty kind of feelings aren't always the best feelings but it seems like it's doing well so uh who cares about names or anything like that I I think it's fine I just maybe not a restaurant like maybe if you called your restaurant crust maybe maybe some people there like pie crust I just I don't know I kind of get like like dandruff feels when I think of the crust um but who am I to say anything so um come on in it's good to see you hear an echo is that you do

hear an echo I I see that please uh please let me know if you hear an echo I'm still working out the audio got a new mic the problem with the other mic was that there's a button the mic wasn't the problem Focus right just has this button you push and then it it's the no sound button so I push it so can somebody um message whether there's an echo or not if there is or not uh just let me know I'll fix it or I'll try to I'll just scream and curse a lot okay no Echo for me okay great great to hear welcome to a great Monday welcome I love Mondays because it's the start of the week so this is great I'm so excited you're all here like I said I'm gonna be playing this game called the crust it's crust terrific uh so let me switch over to well what why don't I do the steam page I already got it up I'm GNA switch things around go go backwards on it um and we'll we'll just take a look at that all right um let's just let's see what's going on here um

um all right let's let's see um uh okay let me just see if I can get this work in here so that I can actually present this just a second so I can do some scrolling all right so here's the crust now like I say the whole reason I'm doing the stream is because the type of game that you pick is the number one marketing decision you can make I write about how to Market your game I just published a new blog post looking at the discovery queue but really the stuff I write about is like 10% of what you can do the biggest thing you can do is the game that you decide to make and publish on Steam not all games will work on Steam there are games like even if you followed everything I said in the blog you can't do well if you trying to sell a puzzle game all the time like it's very hard to sell a puzzle game on Steam and this this comes out like a lightning bolt to the crust of a lot of people's brains and that's what I want to kind of mystify in these streams is like these

are the games that steam likes and the number one kind of well top couple genres I I there's no specific genre but it's a Vibe it's a gameplay type of experience that steam loves out of indie games and they're crafty buildy simulation games and the crust is a crafty buildy simulation game it really is like it is is the most so let's look at let's just look at this steam page right here I mean look at this thing I'm just moving this so that I can get my Noggin out of the way here um okay so um like what we can see here is you know if you just look they're like clicking buildings and upgrading them and laying them out in this grid pattern this is classic steam this is what steam loves this is if people like oh man what kind of games it seems like it changes all the time it doesn't it's always think of Sim City how long has Sim City been big since the beginning of

computers right this is basically Sim City on steroids that's what it is and so really steam players have always loved to like craft a city on a grid and then see little graphs and stuff and little numbers go up and then these proportions of stuff that this this is steam in the in in a crusty nutshell um so if we look at these things you can see look at this the first screenshot is like this dense grid lots of stats this is why I say show you why because you can really kind of understand what's going on with the game it's like okay I've got to prioritize these resources okay I got to increase these there's some tool tips here these are some actions and things I can build that's like every city Builder kind of has this basic layout and I I group City Builder Colony Sim kind of factorio style games which is kind of is Al together but they're they're sub branches of the same you know root trunk here um you've got some top down view with this beautiful I

mean part of the thing is this game is beautiful it's got this space theme ah a heat map is like classic like if you are making a city Builder and you don't have a heat map of some sort what are you doing with your life what are you doing with your life you've got to have a heat map and this one's extra cool because it's like on a planet you're like terraforming an entire planet so if you've got a 3D planet with heat maps on it oh be still my city building Heart Like H this they're terraforming the TR of this thing um so yes this you've got to involved they're they're doing it right they know their audience they're like you know the city Builder audience wants that heat map you know they do and what do they show here a heat map they know their audience all right got to get that heat oh a tech tree you know I you know I love a tech tree you know I here it is like right after the next screenshots of Tech Tree God these guys just know what they're doing they know what they're doing so get that Tech Tree get that

heat map that's how you that's how you and then you got to show the grid this these folks I don't know how much their marketing team knows they know the screenshots to put one of the things you do is you just show the grid and you show placing items on the grid this is how you do it this these screenshots are amazing at showing how this game works you build some stuff it's on a grid it's even you know those three thing here's some things that you canra build you know you can put in your city and your factory and your colony perfect look at all this stuff and little little bar charts here look at this this this is just someone like look at how complicated this game is look at this look at all these are these all resources you got to collect in mind this is like okay a lot of people think oh I can reach a broader audience if I go more casual not on Steam on Steam it's like there are very tight factions of people who like certain types of games and they want deep they're like we're tired of these cookie cutter simple games we want to go deep this

game is deep look at all these resources types that you have to have that is so many it kind of hurts my brain but for the city Builder Colony s people they're like oh yeah bring it in you only have 20 resources why not 30 they want so many resources this is Steam and then you can go down drop down you can drop down into your city and see this is hot this is cool this is really just showing off the graphic quality and look you got a Stern looking guy look at how mean he looks but what's he saying next we're about I won't I won't this stuff because I'm going to be playing this game now um in a second so this is this is what the game is and more just just more Beauty shots this is beauty shots no UI I'm okay with this I normally say put UI and everything but they already established they already gave me the heat map they already gave me the the tech tree they've earned it they've earned the fact that they don't have to put UI on the screen they're just like look this a pretty cool Rover huh pretty neat neat stuff here all right ah this looks good look at how always show big complicated

City oh that's so cool and it looks like some sort of space elevator up here in the corner oh a good space elevator I love I don't know if that's a space elevator we'll try and build one maybe that'll be our goal this night uh this evening this morning this whenever time you are we're going to see if we can build it I love space elevators I was just reading a book about I found a book at this like for the eclipse I went to a science center and they had a whole textbook just on building a space elevator and had cool charts and stuff I almost bought it but I was like maybe I should go back and buy it it was pretty cool I I hope I live long enough to see a space elevator all right more cool cities these people are just just building oh you get to go inside you got to make a cafeteria you got to make a little is that yeah they make a cafeteria I also watched alien again for the Halloween good good cafeteria scene in Alien really really good cafeteria scenes maybe there's some crusts maybe they can buy Uncrustables crusty things maybe this is a crust maker maybe this is really just a cooking Sim maybe I'm just totally misinterpreting this game and you just this whole building this

colony is just so you can make crusted sandwiches for people like good crust s it's Harden space to get a good crust on your sandwiches maybe that's all this game is I don't know but that's just going off the screenshots probably not since this is the last screenshot I wouldn't expect it but I like how this guy in the cafeteria is just wearing his full battle armor everybody else is like George what you doing why don't you just switch in your casuals he's like I must maintain uh so Casual Friday George did not get the message here so let's continue on um Let me let me just read the short description for the crust okay your lunar Colony holds the Last Hope For Humanity uh if you can survive the narrative Le Colony lunar Colony Sim game where you build on the Ben beneath on and beneath the surfaces explore the lunar surface expand into interplanetary space harness lunar resources and shape the destiny of mankind as a CN CEO of Val lunar dot dot dot okay this uh you only get 300 characters for your short

description I think somebody just uploaded and they didn't realize they didn't reread proofread they didn't realize that they lost the last see how it says do do dot I think they just went a little too long and I don't think steam warns you they're just like oh we're just going to cut off the end so just always proof fre how it looks on on on your thing so they just kind of trailed off we're going to play the demo let's see how many updates have been oh let's do the test what do you think this is a published game this is this is probably a big stud this is a big game this is not like one person in their basement making this game what do you think the over under is of them properly hooking up their click I'm I'm pretty positive if I click their name we're going to go to the Creator page I'm I'm guessing just based on the fact they had a heat map on one of their screenshots good variety um but I am discounting it because they didn't proof read and cut that they got cut off on their short description so I'm giving it a 70% chance that they actually linked up their um Creator page all right here we go let's do it let's see if they did it it H they did not they did not they did

not set up their creator page sorry folks sorry folks this is your warning everybody on Steam who's watching this stream go to steam look at your steam page click your name did it go to the Creator page or did it go to this which is the default steam the reason you do the Creator page is so that you're when you search in the search box here for your studio name you get a link right to your creator page and also you can start Gathering followers you're on the front page of steam this game's on the front page of steam and they are missing out on hundreds of followers following their company and when you follow a company every game they publish automatically gets a an email when the game launches even if they never looked at the page never wish listed it's like a free wish list for every game you ever publish going forward it's really good it's free and the thing is like it's not going to change the trajectory trajectory of your game's success why not it's free visibility why not opt into it we we're Indies we need as much visibility as we can so that's what we got um little disappoint point in the fact that they did not I I was giving them the 70%

chance they did not let's see if crytivo crytivo the people who are publishing them did it even their publisher didn't do it it's like come on publisher come on why you taking that 30% or 50% or whatever the agreement is if you're not going to even link up to your page because crytivo should also be getting a following that way every game they publish also gets that email the day that it publishes so always double check to make sure you get that page uh set up okay uh let's just see some other just stuff that they're doing if they're they're active here lots of updates I think these are great great updates they're just talking Dev journals this is great they're doing some great updates so that's why I'm so disappointed they didn't link up their um the follow chart because the other thing is followers get those updates when you publish all those updates all your followers get that and it's really hard to follow the game I mean you could follow the game by clicking that follow button but also just follow the studio I why not got a Discord thing that's a good L good link good picture of their Discord I like that when it this is this is what I mean by being

expensive okay um they had a Kickstarter so that's probably why they did so well in other words they probably got a lot of money visibility no no Graphics here I wish I kind of did oh got an epic Mega Grant that's cool um okay so they did all that stuff great all right um let's just dive in let's do this let's look at this game I think it's going to be really there's probably going to be a lot of menus I'll try and make this as easy as possible I'm going to I'm going to kind of prove for you the tutorial I'm probably going to screw up but I just kind of want to show you what's going on and then as a bonus here's a deal um okay at the somewhat Mark depending on how boring the watching some guy struggle through a tutorial um I might take a break and we'll look at maybe their follower chart to see if we can deconstruct how their marketing went maybe if somebody knows um I forgot to tag these people when I said I'm going live so maybe they would pop in and can give us some um insights about how their marketing went maybe I don't know who these developers I didn't look into them or anything so maybe hopefully we can

get the developers in the Stream if you know them if you know what their handle is I just forgot to do the tag um maybe somebody find my tweet and just retweet it and say hey and then tag this developer and say hey your game's being streamed um maybe we can get them in let's see if we can do we so far we've been two for four for getting the devs onto the stream which is awesome um I didn't do as good of a job tagging these people so that's on my that's my bad I did it I did it wrong so let's get into it let's have fun I'm going to switch over to playing the game the crust okay let's look let's see what this disclaimer is all about they're doing some disclaimer stuff let's see if it's positive we cross the de they did we're sorry we're so lame our game's underdevelopment I again I understand why they do it and the developers uh say it all the time like yeah I just I just really hate the message where it's like it's all under development we're still working on it I just just I don't

know uh Games been in development for four years [Music] um um sending us your ideas I like this message just send I would just I would just shorten this this is way too much text just shorten this to this and says hey we're working on it and getting feedback this game's in development we're seeking feedback um but here's the thing is they mred a call to action says like we're giving feedback well how do I get feedback I would say like I have a button that says leave feedback or let's let's begin so let's do it uh okay I like this again kind of again mir's birth of life you know you got these cells looks like cells and stuff I don't know all right settings let's just check their settings video looks good everything is looking good here on the up and up actually um one thing let's see one thing that will happen and put up there it is um this is just a general warning for everybody always um allow

key rebinds steam loves key rebinds and they will downvote you or like down reviews if you don't have at launch all the time key rebindings for everything I don't know why everybody wants to rebind everything but they do it's just an expectation so very good on them for doing that stuff great UI very crisp everything goes when you click it I don't know if you can hear that so let's get a new game I am I'm going to warn you oh look this this nice thing he's like everybody look at my globe and they like did you get that at Target and he's like I don't know he's like guys we got to talk about this and then he's like is this like a future space toilet he's like all right Jim we're gonna let you pee he's like guys I really need to pee anyway so let's start the game I don't know if this is going to be fun like one like the game looks great sometimes these Tech buildy games are very hard to stream because there's a lot of tutorial iation I tried to get this done first and do it oh space elevator space

elevator that's a machine that just pounds the stuff oh cool um anyway I just love this footage I'm going to talk over it's you're not missing anything it's just a guy that sounds like he's on a rocket going climbing up the space elevator that's so cool I thought the whole point of a space elevator was you didn't need after burners you can just like climb your way up the space elevator like this I love the I love when it hits like that and it's just like crust it's like a documentary like the paollo moonland I love that so great job on the intro trailer um we got the city bus just taking it out there just going off to the Moon love it this is so cool I love this view very Apollo I wonder if people like on the top ring and the bottom ring like I'm passing you out I'm passing you again I'll see you again like you just like look in the mirror like you like look

out the window at each other and then you're like that'd be a cool horror space game if you saw somebody passing you saw like the person going like this in the window and then you had to wait for a full Revolution before you saw the other side and they're like oh and you're like oh I know who killed him cuz I saw them on the other way but I I wasn't sure and then it turns out in the end they didn't actually stab him somebody else stabbed him and then that wasn't admissible in space court so they were like oh because of the Revolution they're like how long does it take to revolve around there and that was like a critical aspect like in that 30 seconds fully revolve around they couldn't kill anyway I'm sorry I'm just getting really ready for having to lead you all through watching me learn how to play a space clicking game because he's can be kind of slow I'm just I'm really trying to Hype you up for this stuff oh man this text is mik row this needs to fix I cannot read this who I really hope whoever's on the dev team really increases his F especially nowadays on Steam deck steam deck is really hard to read this little stuff this is this is giving me a migraine I don't even have migraines but it's given

it to me oh I hope the whole UI is not like this oh we are we're in for World of her if is probably should listen to this but okay is UT unaccept don't trust that okay yeah okay have a deal okay oh there's called grumpy pants

okay so we got to restore power it's a little chatty it's a little chatty okay um solar panels okay we got to get solar panels um okay okay was a little show we're going to build in the Sea of Tranquility I mean isn't that like I would have think that'd be a national park by then like in space National Park okay okay okay okay vou um okay there's a lot of this is like being like dropping us right into a zoom call here okay all right it did say narrative um okay okay land I don't know land the cargo pods okay let's land them I'm

the uxers out there working on this game just click it maybe a context menu when I click it look at those guys welcome we did it uh uh uh all right okay getting those things off cool looking cool let's see what it looks like when I take off from this far back what why aren't you taking off Dr oh there he goes watch let's see if I can catch him as he's rising up oh he just disappears I was really hoping he like smack me in the face anyway okay let's build some [Music] stuff solar panels charging station solar panels all right get them solar solar oh look at those Little Cuties little cute drones building them all right let's build do I really have to click it so many times um um electricity probably

solar let's do it build them got them building these things this is great this is classic cility Builder got to get the power up first I remember playing Sim City you could build like a little nuclear plant or the co coal plant love it okay let's see what we got she said the drones will take care of it let's see look at that you got a power chart everything I can just turn off the solar panel it's beautiful looks so cool look this let's see how let's let's go back here what you got down here' be fun if you make a little hiking trail and say like oh space guys go hiking up here I'd love to hike to the top of the Moon do I have a space elevator speaking of which is this a space elevator what is this thing let's take a look at this thing can't can't click that Medium solar [Music] panel okay what's the next step drones idle six drones idle they they're all done looks like wait I told you to build this thing what's going on here oh it's still constructing okay good good good all powered up I wonder if I have to do

wires I like how he did he he actually ended with a compliment so good I don't know why there's like this banter between these two they're just like so passive aggressive these how did you build a whole Space civilization with such passive aggressiveness okay they want batteries all right let's just do batteries all right you just said batteries seems like a very hostile work environment I mean her hair was I mean not to come on her appearance but she just seemed a little stressed out um not dismantle I want to build some space electricity some batteries look at that see it kind of cuts off when you do that but anyway let's do some batteries oh I got a shift hold shift I mean it's following all the conventions of Builder games if I hold shift it clicks so these people are do the the developers here are doing great let's see if I can speed this up let's go let's go space drones so great we got speed we got we we can increase of speed like they're following

all the conventions of City Builder type of stuff so great work on that again city builders are just great these are this is classic city-builder Colony Sim stuff um it'd be really cool if I could build that hiking trail up to the top to go do a little sightseeing that wouldn't it be Majestic and beautiful if you were a space person just to like climb up to the top of the hill and look out on this Majestic civilization that you're building here on the moon okay what's going on down here I see a little arrow here do I have to build another battery what's going on can I just I'm just going to put a battery in there I don't quite know what I should be doing I'm just going to put it in there I probably made a mistake but I bet somebody's passively aggressively going to tell me I did something wrong all right back out okay am I ready I accidentally closed the status updates and I don't know how to bring it up so we're just going to have to do it live okay Carol Alice Alice is her name um and then that guy what did I do wrong with what did I do wrong I I forgot

forgot oh no and I close this thing what's his thing drones idle okay yeah yeah bug report I I accidentally closed the the tool tip that tells me what what I have to do next and why I'm doing it wrong uh I'm going to switch back to real time here let's see if I can turn those back on maybe I can do settings settings tool tips main um Autos save period streamer mode disabled we're streaming it I'm going to I'm going without streamer mode living dangerous here audio input oh boy oh boy let's see if I can turn on tool tips or something is there anything post processing Shadows effects rocks audio oh boy heav oh boy folks I I turned off tool tips and I forgot what I'm supposed to do here I forgot what I'm supposed to build in this thing I was kind of I kind of wasn't paying attention in class um um um okay uh and now they're just everybody's just like passive aggressively watching me and they're not telling me what I need to be doing um

um I'm just trying to look at I'm looking at chat again sorry I'm trying to look at chat to see if you all know what I'm supposed to be doing because I don't know how to turn on the oh it's night all of a sudden oh man are we just waiting till night and they're like uh Chris is just not even doing it um okay um all right um but basically what's going on here oh we got a we got this thing coming in what's going on here we got we got a blue line coming in what's this guy doing is this the boss coming like Chris is not paying to oh the boss is here a boss is here let's see what he's doing did I do everything all right boss oh this is this is the car oh man all right um I hope that's the boss telling me what to do no he's just going just carrying on okay um I am let's see here is there wires and pipes evacuation mode um where how do I turn tool tips back on I accidentally pushed P an arrow and now my tool tips are gone

um okay I got batteries full of power I got arrows coming to my batteries maybe I have to turn the batteries on oh maybe I wire them up let's try that let's just try and wire these batteries up wires power I think it was under power electricity let's wire them up and for some reason they wanted me to build one out here oh boy oh boy do that even though it's not powered up anything else I'm just I'm just going to wire everything everybody's getting wires um okay did I do good kids oh let's wire it up oh oh oh I I feel like this is doing good okay let's see if we can wire this up to the grid let wire you up everybody's getting wires everybody gets a wire anybody else want a wire who wants a wire you going a wire you're getting a wire you're getting a wire you're going to get a wire too am I doing good did I do it

right um how about you you get a wire to here did I I'm still I don't know what I'm supposed to do um okay I know that's what uh okay um I'm I'm looking to Tool tips from help maybe the maybe the Mind chat possibly to raise up a volume of the game a bit um I would but the rate the volume is just like space music and then clicking of the UI just okay um yeah yeah I I am on stream I'm going to skip through every tutorial or at least let me kind of opt in like what the heck is going on here um oh boy Alice is gonna be so mad and and Bob the Builder is just GNA be like Chris what an idiot ohay okay um how do I get you guys let's can I turn these on let's click them and turn them on power on I just turned it off I want this battery on um it's idle it's an idle battery

what do I do increase priority you're you are you're my high priority battery okay all right this lesson for you folks and I think um Andre had a good point you need a button all the time to say like I am lost of what's the what's the current tool tip that I need to be doing because I I don't I am sorry I have a computer science degree and I do not know what to do oh ites not have wired I you are wired let's see let's see what this thing is see it's wired uh maybe I can build a relay station here because I I for some reason something's too far away um let me just blow this thing up because this guy is just causing trouble blow it up drones okay um well this is where we are um I don't know I'm just trying to trying to to see if there's something else now they've destroyed it now I just got a floating Arrow over here um we're

at the 30 minute Mark let's just go look at their steam DB this is one this was my fear I was hoping to go through the demo one more time the tutorial one time just so that I didn't end up with just a a floating yellow triangle um so here I am stuck on a tutorial um and I am I am lost and Alice and and Bob the Builder are just passive aggressively just on slack Channel just telling me how much of an idiot I am they're like look at that idiot he didn't listen to us and now there um all right so we we wired everybody up everybody's got wires and now I just got some floating stuff what's what's going on here um yeah just looks like they're bouncing in the wind even though there's no moon wind okay well uh that is the crust um you you get co-workers to yell at you you build stuff which is fun I just don't know exactly what the tutor I think I could I think I could just do it

like here's the thing is a lot of lot of you know how I'm saying like a lot of city builders are just like really like clear like I know what's going on where it's like yeah you speed up you build stuff I don't know I feel like we kind of over tutorial IE sometimes um it's it's so cool like this game looks cool I think I could kind of figure it out and then maybe if I really need help then I could do the tutorial I don't know so let me freaking build some stuff so anyway so that is the crust at least I could do it from there you want to you want to try and get some Lone Pines some Pine harbers let's let's let's switch over to Lone Pine Harbor what I'm going to do is though I'm going to switch over we're going to look at their campaign they said the tutorial tip that said we're still under development they've been working on for four years so my question here is four years what happened what happened in that four years did they do their steam page four years ago is it four P four years of wish list all that kind of stuff um let's figure it out so let's uh I'm just going to keep it up the the music is

just kind of like kind of John tesy kind of like John Tes is just going like this um it's good good music so let's go over I'm going to switch over to show you the uh steam DB page um and we're going to look at just the stats of what's going on here I'm G to hide the game now I've got a tab open that is steamdb um that's the Discord um see let me switch it over real quick I think it's there here okay here we go let's switch over to steamdb no steamdb is another site by the way if you haven't checked in um my name is Chris owski I run how Market a game.com it teaches people how to Market a game because it's very technical a lot of people I think a lot of Indie devs hate marketing because I think it has to be social it's like you know typically we give it to the social people to run the social media site and they think marketing is like you have to be this like super extroverted super social person um that's not true um that's a bad rap that I think a lot of marketing has gotten is like oh you got to be like

the cutest funniest most like Charming most you know you know extroverted person gregarious you don't you don't need to be all that um it's actually marketing is much more strategic and I think once I'm I'm hoping to Rebrand a marketing to be thought of as a strategic play it's like how to be strategic the business side of it it's like moving chest pieces um it's really just the thin crust that is that social layer of being like making funny memes it really isn't about being funny memes and being snarky on Twitter it really isn't that that stuff is like doesn't really actually work very well for marketing games the cool stuff about marketing is a strategic play and we're going to look at that so how to Market game.com free tells you all about the mistakes now uh that your game can make on Steam there's 60 mistakes you get a free book how Market a game.com free let me just pull it up real quick I'll just do it real quick how tomarket agame.com free that wouldn't been great if it did a little theme song when you went there ham.com free you just get this free book

um 60 mistakes one of the mistakes is not to um accidentally turn off tool tips for the rest of your play session that is not one of the mistakes because I don't really go into design I just go into the marketing stuff uh but anyway so here's my site I just tell you how to Market a game that's what you do so uh get the free book and then you get an email from me every week where I do marketing tips um so here's uh steamdb this is a different site I don't run this we're going to look at the Strategic side of the marketing behind the crust so they've been marketing for four years or they've been making the game for four years uh let's take a look at the game let's see what they've been doing so we go to charts now we can the number of wish list they earn is not public but the number of followers is I don't know why but it is um hopefully steam never takes that away so what I like to look at is how long this is the follower chart steamdb tracks follower charts over time you know look my first question is how long has this been game been up 2021 which is is so they basically worked on it for a year then they put up their steam page and then they are that's great I think this is

smart because a lot of people are like well they'll fall love me but if you only did it for one year which is basically here what's one year October 2022 they basically let's just do this March April June July I was looking for October 2022 which is one year so let's pretend you you're like people get tired of me look they missed out on all these wish lists they would have missed out on all those wish lists and visibility if they had been like well they're going to get me even if this is not true but even if that portion converted at a lower percentage let's say it's like 2% that's still 2% that you never had I don't know I don't always get the people who are like well you marketed too early then people get tired of you okay if they got tired of you you still would not have had that much so anyway but they did a great job look they did a good launch of their steam page see how that big Sharp increase that did great marketing then look at this nice slope I always look to see whether this this

slope is flat or smooth and look it's a slowly increasing increasing incre and then one year ago it really started ramping up and up up up up up up up up up up up up really you can see it it's just like their marketing is just flywheels spinning faster and faster and faster I don't know exactly what it is that's doing it they had a big event right here let's see what this is they had January 23rd big event January I don't let's see if we can figure it out we'll go to their steam page January 23rd they're very good about doing their updates so I wonder if they posted anything let's look at January 23rd 2023 and see if they did anything like they talked about it okay so here's January is that January 20 is that this January um demo demo went live February thank you the question what they thank for yep I'm pretty sure they launched their demo they launched their demo I'm

I'm telling you folks I'm not making this up the demo launch demos are awesome because you can get streamers to play your game before it's ready and so what I I don't know for sure but I think they launched their demo and they got a huge streamer play they got a whole bunch of stuff right around here I I'm pretty sure they said launched for seven days for seven days they had their demo out and streamers were just going nuts for it this is why you launch a demo is because streamers it gives streamers an excuse to play your game and notice I'm gonna I'm gonna stand up I have to I I don't have my mic to pull away that's I just one second so you see how the the slope is very shallow not not bad but the slope really picks up after the game is playable after the launch of their demo your demo just like if it's a good game the people like the streamers like it YouTube stream are have a very long tale people are still watching this video I did with

Jonas Ty roller like 3 years ago and people are still watching it and so YouTube has a very long tail and I have a feeling the reason the slope is bigger is high is like steeper is because um um after the demo was streamed a bunch those YouTube videos lived on for a long time and so just the natural increase of wish list so I always tell people get your demo up nice and early because you want to get those streams early so that your slope looks like this for longer not like this I mean this is still a good slope but you want to slope like this for as long as you can that's why move this demo back move that demo back I mean I understand the troubles of development it's really hard but move this demo back and then you have that higher slope for longer okay and then look they did a great job because let's see how many wish lists they went into steam next test with they went in with about 40,000 wish lists again this is just an estimate we just take the number of followers multiply by 10 that's how many wish lists you have they went in with about 40,000 just before steam nextfest they're on the front page and

look at this rocket busting off the crust they are there they got so many this is what the front page of steam nextfest looks like this is why they did great here they did their steam nextfest very late I don't know if they're ready to launch they did they announce their their launch date on the crust let's see if they did um do they they say q1 2024 so I have a feeling q1's probably January maybe February I think they did very smart this is probably their last next Fest the next next Fest is in February this is very smart to put their next Fest right here right now because maybe q1 means January 3rd or something again January February is also a good time to launch because there aren't many other games launching then everybody's tired they just came back from holiday breaks great time to launch it so um any questions um I'm GNA I'm going to pause on that for just a little bit to see if there's any questions here um and then we're going to place some Pine Harbor Pline

Harbor um yes okay so one of the questions that I saw here was okay when I publish My Demo I do marketing oh hell yeah the whole point of marketing and this is the Strategic part of it is every single thing you do everything you put out everything you launch is a marketing beat so you hype it up you hype to your community say hey 10 days till the demo launches three days till the demo launches one day till the demo launches and you hype people up you get excited you reach out to streamers and say hey in two weeks we're launching a demo would you like to play it early before anybody else and you go to your favorite streamers and like yeah because streamers always want something exclusive and so what you do is you reach out to those streamers and then you get it and then they play it and then their fans are excited that's how you do it you Market every single thing you're putting out that when you launch your steam page you Market that when you're doing a beta you Market that when you're doing an alpha you Market that anytime when you're launching your disc you Market that anytime you start something up you Market the hell out of

it don't never just put something up like your trailer never just like drop a trailer be like five days till the trailers folks two days till the trailer you never know what it's going to do and then you also just like hey we displayed the trailer remember I I really like the uh thing that they did even when they turned off their ba I don't know if they turned it off or they seven days after they launched their demo that post that I was just looking at when I said what C Spike we looked at the post and it was a demo they even did hype at the end of something so not only do you hype the thing happening or that it's going to happen you then hype that you just hyped it like that is what you market and so yes absolutely um raise the volume a little bit higher okay we'll see what we can do all right hopefully that works um I just turn on the master volume again this is a new microphone I even push the on button I don't know why people don't want a microphone to actually play sound why would you do that um so that's

basically it um all right um okay when should you start your demo when or when should you start marketing your game now um again like people get this I don't know what kind of attitude it is I don't know what to call it I don't know what psychological um Affliction it is but if you see it's like you should just Market people are always like they're going to get tired of me well they don't look on my blog for Cosmo tier and zero sver we looked at the conversion we can look at the conversion ratio at every time when they originally wish listed it and there's no Decay it's not there's no age to wish list of Decay the the bigger problem that people have is that if you don't start marketing your game right away you miss out on this wish list like let's say they did the one year mark let's say they waited to Market their game for when they had a demo what if you know

your Calculus this area under the graph is all the followers that they missed out on all the wish lists all the visibility they missed out on all this if they had just said oh we're going to not Market too early because people get tired of they don't one they don't and two even if it this converted at a lower rate you never had that in the first place so I just do not understand I think part of it is people are scared and that's totally inv valid I know you're about marketing your game it's hard to put yourself out there I totally understand it but please there is there is no evence I've studied the data I've looked into it there is not too early now you could do sometimes people do a long thing and then something wrong happens with the game and then the game doesn't sell well and then like they blame the fact that they marketed too early that's not it I've looked at the data folks I'm really I'm really begging you don't don't wait on you need as many wish list as you can so don't hold off on that um uh okay where do you Market it yeah you

put it on Reddit you put it on Twitter you put it on YouTube you do all these things you just put it out there and then uh look up my thing search IGN I wrote a blog post about how people um um I I write about people who took viral content took a trailer and got it up onto IGN and moved up from there that that's how they do it like that's how the marketing Works um so you can look the blog post of how you do it and I know you're scared but the faster you get over this the better your game's going to do so just get that game over there all right let's get to Pine Harbor I'm gonna I'm gonna switch out of this game um I'm going to switch out of the crust I like the crust I really like the crust I think it's great but I got stuck um and if you're doing a game I always like to say hey can I just opt out of the the tool tips can I just opt out of the tutorial and just let me sandbox it um cuz then you won't get in stuck situations where I'm stuck here

like where I can't progress like I would have I would have just toughed it out but they were they stopped me there and they were like Chris you have to build something on this spinning arrow and I'm like I don't remember what I wanted to be built right there I I don't remember so I'm stuck unfortunately I'm stuck but you know what I don't get stuck at when a zombies coming at me so let's do some Pine Harbor I'm gonna beat this so if you missed the last stream um what happened was um I was playing this game called Pine Harbor on Friday and it's a horror game and I'm telling you folks I'm telling you folks um the um hang on sorry I'm just trying to get to Pine harb what let me let me switch over I just got to switch um um hang on um so I'm just getting to the next game um here's the thing folks um when it is

um um oh that's thought okay so anyway so last um uh so last stream when I was playing Pine Harbor um I I was trying really hard like I think all Indy devs should make a horror game because it it's it's very simple and I don't mean to diminish that but it's a lot easier to make a horror game than it is to make the crust um but people love to stream it I was having fun on stream I didn't get stuck uh there was going on there I could just play right through it um and it was fun we were having fun and um one of the problems with pine Harbor though that I saw was I had played it for like an hour and I didn't see any pine trees um and to me that's that's a problem um um so we're gonna find out um here's what I'm going to do um I'm sorry I'm I'm trying to get some downloaded

here which I'm having a problem with um because for some reason for there was just something silly going on um I actually have to download Pine harer again because of something silly I thought I had that's a long story short but I thought I had it downloaded but I didn't uh um let's see B Harbor demo yeah yeah let's play it okay it's downloading but anyway so it's far as marketing we're going to get it so um the genre that you pick is very very important and um the problem with a game like the crust is awesome but it's a four-year project like it took him a long time to get there and everything has to be perfect like you have to implement the ability to turn tool tips back on in case you accidentally click a thing that you thought meant just hide it but in fact that means I never want to see another tool tip for the rest of my life um that stuff is very crunchy

it's very hard there's a lot of moving pieces that you have to get right and that takes four years to get that right but a a game like Pine Harbor is like here's here's a freaking guy with his intestines hanging out running after you and I run through a thing and I'm having a good time for an hour and a half like that is like a good starting game not saying never make the cross because I think you should like crafty ability simulation Gam are hot but also horror games and horror games um they do really well on Steam because streamers play streamers love to get scared all this stuff so okay I'm starting Pine Harbor um and the thing about Pine Harbor is um I am going to turn up the sound um on the game let's see settings just one second I just got to um hang on I'm just going to turn up the sound just a little bit on okay okay we're at max volume all

right um all right so let me switch over let me let me let me just get over to B Harbor um I just got shared my screen for that except okay hang on hang on hang on um sorry Graphics I'll trying to do full screen window full screen full screen full screen yeah okay let's start some Bine Harbor okay um so let me just switch over sorry folks just it's hard to switch games that's why most streamers don't do it I just really want to play some Pine Harbor okay so we're gonna narrate for those who um we're going to play like you're new to this um and so what I'm going to do is is um kind of give you the give you the back history of pine Harbor um the

game um Pine Harbor a game where there's no Pines and no Harbor um okay that's the pine Harbor there we go something weird is happening screen wise okay it's in a very weird resolution hopefully this works okay okay so here's the deal with pine Harbor um you were stuck in um hang on okay folks I'm sorry I'm gonna have to kill the game real fast because the resolutions got all screwed up and this is this is not Pine Harbor's fault this is this is like OBS and and switching games Midstream I think this is why most streamers don't switch games Midstream but come on I got stuck on the tutorial what am I going to do I really want to find some pine trees so the the deal with pine Harbor was that um um um oh it's it's just going to be okay

so the resolution is going to look a little weird it's going to be a little fuzzy that's just the fact that Pine Harbor um is playing in this is my fault um it's playing in like some Window mode or something but we're going to go through it so here's the deal with pine Harbor there's no pine trees and no Harbors at least we could find yet um and you are stuck in a mine and you're trying to get out okay and you have like three weapons one of them is an old PR spectors axe all right and so we're in this thing and it's very well organized for being a creepy old mine very well organized and there's these beasts that have been affected by chemicals of course but it's really it's pretty spooky and so we're Pine harboring and now here's the thing is we are on a mission yes to get out but I'm also on a mission to try and find you some pine trees it's the the game promises if you go to the steam page it promises Pines and it promises Harbors we played for like an hour and a half last last week didn't see either so I am going to um see if I can find them for you good

great conduits everything okay here's here's what happens um we're just looking around trying to find some supplies oh I'm back in here sorry um there's a little mess hall there's this oh do not follow me there's a guy that says do not follow me but it's actually just flashlight but then over here here's your monsters oh and if you miss once he gets you so always he always like kind of does a duck so kind of hold on that all right so we're going through the miners this is why it's scary because there's like creepy tunnels here he comes watch he's going to do this duck the secret is getting that first strike the first strike if you miss that first strike oh you're toast you're getting hit um you do not want to get hit okay so oh let me uh bandage myself up the thing that I don't like is the

hits hurt you much more than the bandages help you which is not fun I thought there was okay so we're just trying to get out of this scary tunnel and uh the scary base and there's a couple things all these rooms have little boxes where you can get stuff and these Miners and there was this guy in his the boss name was oh and and the the a cool scary trick is that the light always flashes out okay so you crawl under here and this is like I don't even understand who I am he finds his diary okay this thing fared okay I'm gonna write this down because okay they don't really tell you there's just this like Journal here and um if you look at this journal is like very key to this game and I just again I'm on stream I'm not going to read this

whole thing it tells you everything you need to know it tells you where stuff's hidden it tells you all this stuff all from this one diary and there's this combos are hidden in here and we spent like literally an hour trying to get these Combos and I'm just writing them down because I think it's the first one is the is the combo 5823 five6 ex I think it's 5628 if I remember right there's a combo and it it kind of sucks I don't like this part of the game um and this is just a warning to you all is puzzles kind of slow down the streams and they get people like to not like the game what we're trying to do is get the developers in there to find out their medium play time because this game's also pretty hard I don't know why but um oh also they're blind and I was watching this other guy do a play through and you can just stop and they don't see you but then you can't move because they can hear you so you're just like waiting for the slowly lum in guy to get through it's a thing okay so here we are at the end that was the most critical

information that that thing is like more important than the Constitution reading that one document that tells you how to get through this game oh God even though I knew that guy was coming I still got the Jitters so this is why this P emotion is why hor games are pretty awesome um even though I'm not a scary fan like I'm not I'm not that scary of a guy but got me there you are all right all right I know who you are okay this is back to the kind do no there's Jeff's office this is Jeff okay I'll show you Jeff in a second so Jeff runs this place and Jeff this is Jeff's mug I really wanted to have a mug that just says Jeff oh okay this isn't watch this is the guy when you come into Jeff's office he's like are you in

Jeff's office watch see this is what I don't fully understand about this game it's they can't see me but they can hear me okay so here's Jeff's office the combo is 5628 it took us a long time to figure this out oh wait maybe it's not maybe it's 5 828 there it is 5828 that's that's the one all right um and what you do is Jeff locks up gasoline so I just got some diesel fuel it'll come handy in a little bit this is Jeff over here that's Jeff poor Jeff um and he's the boss and he kind of went crazy and he locked up everybody and

everybody kind of got a little bit too much chemicals and they all turned into zombies except for me oh there he is all right I might let's see how am I doing on heal not good I should be dead all right we're switching we're switching up to shotguns oh the other weird thing is pistol does not default it's got one bullet in the chamber by default which I am not a fan of all right now the worst part is I got to go into this bathroom that is a murder bathroom the problem is that there's so many more guys and there are bullets so you really have to so I'm going to switch to Map um we need to get in to get this wire so

there's like three things you need to get a wire a key and the gasoline and there's some good stuff in here but every time you go somewhere there's always some Bozo who comes and gets you there we go let's get this C bandaged up here see that's still not going to protect me against a hit which I don't really like that that's the thing okay this is this this will take you an hour to get through if you don't if you don't know so we're here good wall textures uses unreal but I'd recommend you folks try some horror games if you're like man what kind of games do well in on Steam freaking horror games I'll tell

you you can usually tell a little dude's coming after you when you hear his footsteps and his gurgling tummy and there's 80s smut there there you are there's my room look at how even though it's the zombie apocalypse and everything rolled up his bed his little bed sheets there very very good on him very very neat very courteous see even in the afterlife even in death you still care about that stuff okay oh I've only got two bullets left okay don't don't panic there's just a body and I need that cable but what I need is this I think those are bullets yep

there he is see he can't see me even though I was just shining a light in his eye so I'm going to pull down his buddy here that was a cable if you couldn't tell there was a cable there that I can take I need that to rig up the door cuz the door was the wire was pulled see he's just gonna come at me see he can't see me but I can't tell how much you can hear me so now I just have to like just have to like it's like waiting for a toddler to get ready to go you're just like come on put your shoes on let's get going we've got to go let's move it and I wish it was like I could

kill shot this guy if I snuck up behind I'm like I wish I could kill shot this guy because I I snuck up on him but it's not let's see if I can kill shot this guy I got to kill him anyway I mean I guess I get the drop on him that way but still it still took three bullets I wish it was like if you shot him in the back of the head it's a one shot kill but oh well all right we are now let's see where we are I need to get to the bathroom the bathroom is where all hell breaks loose and I think that's straight right and the flashlight always SPS oh great not you I'm trying to conserve bullets because we got to we got to really use them in

bathroom see if you miss your first hit you get hit just like on the school playground you miss your hit you get hit that was a that was a needless loss of energy there I got it it's do or to die here there's way too many guys just way too many guys that's why I'm thinking like their medium play time for this game might be a little low because it's really hard like this game's hard okay is this the bathroom no this is that room let's see what we got please be bandage okay that sounds like a dude is right there we got more bullets too many hits I like both sponges come on dudes okay we're going to do this coming up I

took a wrong turn I think I'm going yeah I gotta go right down to the hall and take a right down here okay the bathroom is where all hell breaks loose if I'm gonna die it's right here here's the bathroom all right here's our game plan this is how you prep just like your uh you're battling Freddy Krueger so we're just going to go see the problem with these this gun takes a long time to reload so you pop in here there's a guy right here and then his buddy always comes around the corner always right here there you are got him but don't linger because then another guy comes but in here right there key on the back of the toilet that's the key that is what's key that is what's key okay now I got to go back to a a block whoa you oh sorry they still get

me okay now I got to go back to a block because there's a door lock back there oh great down to my last shot okay it's a a four that I have to get to there's a lock to a door there it is use the key on this open this look what we got here Senor generator and this is video games this is the one thing I don't like about this game a little too hard little too hard like I know I know I know so we're

going to try this again H folks folks we're gonna do it we're gonna do it um for every death I got to answer some U marketing questions okay so if I die I'm going to answer some marketing questions ask any marketing questions let's see if there's any questions in the chat so just ask them in the chat um and I'll see if I can answer them um do horror games get uh from the next do horror games and an out uh an Outlast game um is the handle of that action from Pinewood maybe maybe the handle is um okay marketing questions no settings to make it easier there's no easier settings I totally would like I've got this game figured out like I know what to do so what I'll do is um ask some marketing questions I'm going to continue on through here um I'm I'm going to continue on playing this game but um ask a marketing question and the next time I die I've got to answer a marketing question that

you might all have um so we're going to do it though we are definitely going to beat this game I'm going to find out if there's a Pine Forest again if you look at the marketing for the steam page um they promised they promised harbors and Pines and if you look at the screenshots it's a lot of harbors and Pines and then when you look there's no Pines or Harbor oops oh I just woke up the whole neighborhood do not follow me a shut up okay see if you get the first pickaxe hit you you're in good you got it the trick is getting that first hit okay so I'm going to go straight to the bathroom because I think that's my make a break if I if I if I fail at the bathroom there there's there's no coming back there's the bathroom get that

shotgun get this reloaded because they never reload it properly okay okay here we go come on there you are got it got you okay all good all good I think he comes out of the toilet I think oh no not you all right all right all right enough enough and no toilet paper just going to reload okay now let's see we want to go we got the key let's let's go to a room um let's go to the a block we don't need to go to the journal because key combination does not

randomize or anything sometimes games get real sneaky about that and they randomize the things so thankfully that's one lesson that we learned is that you don't have to you can just reuse the same key combo I'm just gonna do this because I think there's a bandage in this one here yes okay do this look at how he hit me one time he took me so much health but anyway so yes horror games goodness gracious just die already what's with this game come on how many bullets did he take it's like come on just let me just one shot these guys at least this game and this is for another tip to take away marketing tip your game is too hard it

just is if you want to increase your play time your medium play time just make it easier I know it's like oh but Dark Souls Dark Souls has been around for like generation so they they can be hard but did I already go in here I already looked at this one I'm just looking for a box because the boxes always have like some health let's go to let's do this one okay now I know there's a guy at the end of the hallway we're going to shotgun him one time okay and then they don't give me any bullets let's see what they got here oh great he's like my friend all right I can't do it I can't do it folks all right I got to do a marketing question so pop pop those questions in there and I'll answer them

I I'll answer those questions let see if I can pull it up on my phone I'm going to test that so pop a marketing question into chat I'm gonna pop a marketing question into chat here I'm gonna see if I can um answer it live um let's see can I actually see me being live here I'm trying to see if I can be live on my own phone um no I don't think I can it's I downloaded the studio app because I'm just like oh does this work doesn't seem to work it doesn't I don't think I can actually see myself being live on here to answer questions doesn't seem like it does not seem like I can do that comments maybe no no no no this app's worthless why would I want this app all right let's let's switch over to uh live chat over here um

okay I understand the in-game localization is key for steam visibility but could it help increase wish list ads the problem we couldn't face our game localization okay here's the thing is most games localization doesn't it's in Practical it's too expensive but at least translate your steam page and tell steam that you've translated because here's the wish list ads you're it's localized for um upcoming games like popular upcoming that's localized so you will only get let's say it's Japan um if you're a Japanese player you will not see your game unless at least your steam page is translated and I don't think your actual game has to be translated just a steam page and then that your game will get shown in Japan's popular upcoming so it basically broadens your Market steam recommends all the time marketing your translating at least your steam page is it beneficial just do the steam page minimum um would it make sense to actually make the demo easier than the actual game I don't know make your whole game easier

that's in general make your whole game easier and then what you do is if somebody's like I'm hardcore I love your game let them opt in to more difficult game um uh horror games seem to primarily be in the adventure game game but what about horror theme is that about right um what here's a mistake that a lot of people make is they try and just go crazy with their genre mixing don't mix your genres just make a simple horror game where you are getting chased okay where somebody is chasing you down the hallway just just just make that just get a game out so that you know how games are made how games are marketed and then you can go from there um that's what you got to do okay I'm G to try that was enough questions but um I really think and it kind of comes down to play testing because you've played your game so much you know where every key is so you're like God this is not this is way too easy it's not you've just played your game so you always got to do play testing you got to get other people to play your game and that's the

problem is that you've made your game way too hard um I know you want to be dark souls everybody wants to be dark souls but remember they before they were Dark Souls they were otagi and there were all these other games that nobody played and it took them years and years and decades and decades and thousands and thousands of millions of dollars spent before they could build that reputation as being a company that can make hard games so it's just gonna it's just going to take you a long time and you've got I just think people make the game's too hard all right and they always want to be like well we're Dark Souls yeah you're probably not all right um I'm just trying to think of the order of operations it might be better if I just go like this do not follow me all right he's just a talking flash light

okay here's what I'm trying to do I'm trying to get into the bathroom let's see who is here who is here your game is too hard all right I'm just going to quit this folks I can't last time last one I know it's when I start losing for dumb reasons that's when I know that's when I know all right that's when I know all right more questions I died I owe you some questions to answer um I'm gonna answer a couple more questions just keep popping questions in there um is the intuition okay um oh uh sorry this wasn't a genre mixing it was a construction question adventure games are typically Exploration with puzzles horror games seem to be this but with a horror theme that is correct they mostly are and what I'd recommend is play a bunch of horror games there's there is a bit of a range in genres for horror

games there are some co-op games where they're like first-person shooters and those are really popular too where you and your buddies get to go through a scary mansion and shoot incoming guys and then there's another horror game that's like visual novel that's also a popular one so check that one out the main thing is most horror games are linear narrative and a lot of the thing is here's the tricky part A lot of people want to make linear content they just of do but linear content most of the time does not work except for one genre which is horror horror and visual novels are the two genres where linear games can do well on Steam by Indie budgets most AAA games are going around games where you're going on an adventure in this wonderful magical land those games are very hard for Indies to make because they're so long those games are so long and you need to generate enough content but Indies don't have the budgets to generate that much content and so steam plays and they're like this game's only like 3 hours I want a mystical magical Adventure through a fairy kingdom thats 30 hours and Indies

are like I can't make that much you have unrealistic expectations and then steam's like no we don't you need to make a 30- hour game and that's like there's nothing we can do about that we could fight it we could say that's not right you should just experience my two-hour game but that's just that's just the reality they steam players just want 30 hour games with the few exceptions of I think I'm getting hounded here with the few exceptions of narrative uh visual novels and horror games those are the two linear type of games that you can get away with having uh not so much content okay um okay that was a great question there um but what I would suggest you do is if you're like maybe Chris knows what he's talking about as far as uh horror games just play a bunch like that's why I'm playing this stuff because I'm like okay what are these like okay it's a dark tunnel and then you got monsters coming out at you and you have to make it really hard and keep dying without and hide the pine trees um let's do

this I mean I have played through Halo on legendary difficulty and beat it but this game is just so hard I don't know why I'm such a glen I could I could just play a different horror game and show you guys but I am I am so close that's what's so frustrating is like I don't want to end this stream on such a down note I want to beat this um but I think I might actually start streaming more regularly cuz yeah I'm going to follow you okay I'm going to go for the shotgun with this guy come on wonder if can I just is see no I was giving you the shot buddy

God damn it this game's too hard just trying just trying to get to a diary just trying to blow up a box so that I can get some bandages let's see oh my God like okay I can't believe I'm still alive all right we're gonna bum rush the bathroom like we always do two let's reload this gun okay we're good okay where's that bathroom right right right okay if I don't do it this time I'm just I'm just giving up because I I'm getting

worse at this I'm at that stage where you get worse at video games when you get more frustrated that's s i okay bathroom bum rush coming at you did I just one shot that guy awesome come on oh twins twins twinsies there did you see that this ridiculous all of a sudden I think I accidentally got a mode where they're sending twice as many guys not cool not cool okay see the other thing is like I'm now kind of desensitized these guys they just giant bullet bags to me they're not scary anymore there's just too many guys getting sent okay I'm just I'm just trying to find a safe harbor real quick

Safe Harbor okay um we are trying to get now that we have the key we're going to A4 so down the hallway to the right to the left one I'm probably just scaring out every single one of these bullet bags guys oh here you are oh goodness gracious see just I don't get any bullets for that now I got to fight generator man with one shotgun let's see how many these I have two bullets and a shotgun all right let's get you and then I got to turn

around what I swear I had loaded a shotgun shell all right I'm done I'm done with this game I like it I generally like it I think it's good it's just like all right that's it thank you so much I had a fun time with all of you I really enjoy it I'm sorry I couldn't get you pine trees couldn't get you Harbors um I hope to see the game in its finished state so thank you so much have a wonderful morning see you all later
