I am looking for recommendations of Streamers and Youtubers who cover Steam Next fest!

I've found a lot on YouTuber, less on Twitch. Do you folks have any recommendations? - I'd like to contact as many as I can to show off my game.

Why make a menu 2D when it can be 3D!

Final book Cover!

Texturing a songbook (wip)
Four penguins have lost their Christmas Carol books, that you have to find so they can get back to singing.

It's based on old-school nostalgic songbook designs.

(Text/title added in procreate after) - Still needs work :)

Looking back it is what I will remember the most as well. The place I have creative freedom and my own ideas grow the most.

It's where the most crazy ideas happen! 😆

I also did UI work as well; optimized almost all the swords and daggers; various assets etc.

It really got me into optimization in general for games, which has helped my career quite a lot outside of games actually.

It was really cool and interesting, despite it's the most unknown AC game.

It was the ipad version during the black cauldron years at Ubisoft. AC Identity.

There were lots of cool innovation on that, to make it run and also simulate crowds on mobile devices. I learned an absolute ton about optimization, porting AC2 and Black Flag to a mobile variation.

Thanks for the kind words <3 I'm glad you found the game!
I'd be more than happy to send you a key, when I know the specific date for the release (End November/Early December) - It depends on some festivals :)

Otherwise the Demo is ready and will be updated for Steam Next Fest, which is soon.

A friend of mine and I, talked about games and CVs, and I was like "I've only really made 1 game"

Completely forgetting I actually worked on Assassins Creed during my internship 🤣

I guess I only count my "own" games these days and my brain discredit anything else I've done. Silly brain.

Thanks! I appreciate it! As many has also pointed out. It’s hard to push a Christmas game. Outside of Christmas.

I am making a Halloween patch next year.

One of the most satisfying things in game development.

Is adding achievements to your game! 🏆

I've approached a ton yes :) Mostly medium/small channels - It will be in Steam Next Fest in about a week's time. But afaik, if you're no where near 2000 Wishlists it won't actually show up in any feed or discovery queues. So it's dead in the water, unless a steamer or festival picks it up.

Thanks for the kind words and your two pointers. I don't like as frequent on Bluesky though, but for the most part, despite posting about it daily here - it's not gaining any traction and I'd rather not spam too hard on here.

On other pages/discord/reddit, I always try to link it :)

My wishlist for the game has flatlined around 350.
All efforts in posting about my game on SoMe, online, etc. has kind of just been a complete waste of time.

No festival, streamer, YouTuber has picked up the game yet.
So it's looking to be one of those obscure games lol.

I also hope some will find great joy in playing my obscure Christmas Game; and maybe find some enjoyment in Christmas, where they otherwise may not.

I truly believe there is a game out there for everyone; that gives a lot more meaning to them, even more than what the devs intended :)

The Main Menu in Fantastic Findings!

Each level is a small Diorama of the level, inside of a Snowglobe!

You can't shake them (yet!)

It feels fantastic pushing, what's probably the coolest level so far, to the playtest of Fantastic Findings!

Lots and lots of work has gone into it. I hope the playtesters will enjoy it! I hope ya'll like trains! 🚂💨
