When I first started making my game, almost nobody cared. I had like five fans, and somehow they were more worried about my game flopping than I was.
They kept telling me, "Dude, add some female characters!"
So I did. And the wishlists actually started going up.
Then my OG fans got excited.
"Okay, now give them some sexy outfits. Trust me, bro."
So I listened again.
And... they were right AGAIN.
But here's the thing...
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A SERIOUS ZOMBIE ROGUELITE ABOUT KILLING ZOMBIES AND GRINDING FOR LOOT.
HOW DID I END UP MAKING A WAIFU GAME?! 💀
At this point, I've just accepted my fate.
Seriously though, huge thanks to all my OG fans who've been supporting me throughout this solo dev journey.
Love you guys! ❤️#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Only 4 days left until launch!
99 Day Survival Guide has now appeared on the Steam Personal Calendar homepage, and the results have been incredible!
Whenever the game gets featured on the homepage, Steam impressions skyrocket. I'm now gaining around 1,000 new wishlists per day!
Here are some numbers so far:
19,000 total wishlists
Around 20,000 players have tried the demo
Median playtime: approximately 35 minutes
Here's how I got here:
First 6 months: around 7,000 wishlists
Steam Next Fest: 3,000+ new wishlists
After Next Fest: the majority of my new wishlists came from Steam's Personal Calendar!
One thing I've learned from this experience: Don't underestimate Steam's Personal Calendar! It can bring a huge amount of exposure and keep driving wishlists every day.
Something I think more indie developers should pay attention to!
Thanks so much for all the support. See you on November 11! #indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
My game just hit 17,000 Steam wishlists!
I gained 3,000+ during Steam Next Fest, but Steam's Personal Calendar has been even better, bringing in 300–400 wishlists a day!
Only 6 days until launch! I've fixed over 200 bugs this week alone.
As a solo dev, I'm incredibly grateful for all the support!
See you on November 11!#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
For the new Divine Industries map, I've designed four Angel Experiments!
I wanted them to feel like twisted creations of an industrial nightmare—a disturbing mix of divinity, evil, and artificial life.
Something that looks divine, but feels deeply wrong.

My game gained over 3,000 wishlists during Steam Next Fest, bringing the total to 15,000 wishlists! Not bad at all for a solo indie dev!
Thank you all so much for your continued support and encouragement!
99 Day Survival Guide launches on November 11!
I've been busy squashing bugs every single day, and I've also brought in a professional QA team to help catch any remaining issues during these final two weeks of testing.
I'm doing my best to get everything ready for launch!
Introducing a new boss series: the Angel Experiments from Divine Industries!#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
The Steam Next Fest demo is here! Based on player feedback, I’ve added female character versions and skins for every character!#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
99 Day Survival Guide is now part of Steam Next Fest! Come check out the latest demo and give it a try! #indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Meet our new boss: Fly King!
He commands a swarm of bugs, summoning both small flies and elite flies to attack you. And if that’s not enough, he can also charge at you and unleash powerful sweeping strikes.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
The DEMO update is finally here!
I've added over 50 outfits to the game, and you can freely mix and match your favorites! Some characters can also be unlocked by rescuing them out in the maps.
Hope you enjoy the new update!#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Meet the Hydra Boss! One of the toughest and fastest melee tanks in the game, capable of unleashing rapid, devastating combo attacks!#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
The Worm King burrows out of the ground to attack, smashing through tanks with devastating force and summoning storms to deal massive AoE damage.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Boss: Muscle Freak
Inspired by a mix of Attack on Titan and the Licker from Resident Evil?
He’s built for close-quarters combat, with some seriously powerful melee attacks.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
It’s a top-down zombie game. The character is tiny. You can barely even see them.
So WHY does everyone keep asking me for more skins???
Guys, this is supposed to be a serious horror game.
...Anyway, I added 10 new outfits.
You win.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Thank you all for your support! My game is confirmed to be released on November 11th. If you're interested in the game, you can try the demo first.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Newly designed boss Soccer King—let's have a death soccer match with the zombies!#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
Added simple idle animations for every character in the equipment selection screen.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
The Giant Hammer Clown and the Clown Lady are a boss duo I designed. They work in tandem to corner and take down the player.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
The Mutant Frog boss is complete! It continuously summons self-destructing froglets, spits venom, and attacks by jumping.#indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作
