Hey me too! I released my first game on Steam a month ago and by all objective measures it was a flop, but as a hobbyist I'm still proud of it. It honestly did better than I thought for a small niche game that I did a terrible job of marketing, and my one review so far was quite positive so I'll count that as a small win as I move onwards to the next game.

EDIT: Here's the game because my reply is getting harder to spot below - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2792160/SnowDown/ - It's a small Jackbox-inspired party game (using phones as controllers) but with real-time action and physics as you throw snowballs around and destroy structures.

What's your game? Niche games are awesome. And if you made it with Godot I'm definitely interested.

Here's my game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2792160/SnowDown/

It's a little action party game you can play with phones as controllers (similar to how you'd host a Jackbox game). And yes I did make it with Godot!

Add twitch integration. Viral success overnight

Unfortunately I've found that the latency over streaming makes the game less fun to play than when joining locally (or over a faster video call service like Discord), but for my next game I'm designing it to be more streaming-friendly so I'll definitely be looking at building an integration then.
