Most doesn't! They usually have their own apply form deep in their own sites. I know that howtomarketagame.com newsletter keeps you quite well up to date, but it still doesn't show every possible fest. Like Finnish Games Week was so niche that it wasn't there, but still made it to the front page!

I keep hearing how important Steam fests are for visibility and now I get it.
Sulo the Sidekick just entered its very first one, Finnish Games Week, and the wishlist spike is REAL!
What upcoming Steam festivals should I apply Sulo to next?

Bit of a late bloomer, but finally picked up GRIS in the summer sale and it’s absolutely stunning! The atmosphere just pulls you in.
I normally skip cutscenes, but here I didn’t even want to. Maybe because… there’s no text? 🤔 I need to learn from this gem!

I get asked a lot (nobody asked): “hey, is that Sulo the Sidekick?”
NO! This isn’t our Sulo!
When our Sulo works as a tradesman, he’s polite, charming and negotiates the price ridiculously low without you even noticing it. store.steampowered.com/app/3561780/...

I've added some accessibility improvements based on playtest feedback! The Catch a Ball minigame now includes a colorblind mode, and you can also switch the transparent background to a solid color.

I’ve added an in-game feedback form for the upcoming demo to make sharing your thoughts as quick and easy as possible. No need to leave the game! Just let me know what you think while playing.

For the past couple of years, I’ve had the unique privilege of developing games in an environment that’s a little… unexpected 🐮
While I’m coding inside, the original Finnish cattle roam just beyond the windows.
Does your environment shape your creativity?
