A successful next fest run needs a lot of strategy (and luck). It's not going to magically give you wishlists
So... Steam Next Fest happened again, and the number of folks that have been disappointed by their game's performance seems to be growing higher and higher.

Did you know that the Unreal Engine EULA does not mandate you to show the UE logo at the start of your game? If you want to use it, you actually need to ask us for permission to show it.
You only need to credit UE in your credits, per unrealengine.com/eula.

I, too, attended #SLICE2025 - it was incredible! Met so many great people there. Wish I could've made it to more talks, these summary points make me feel like I really missed out
#SLICE2025 was an extremely informative event in a digestible format that made learning about indie development a lot less exhausting and expensive than GDC.
Here are 5 things I learned from yesterday's lectures.
