      But please don’t spend money on my previous games, I recognize that they aren’t that good I don’t want to burden anyone financially with them (I loved every minute of making them, but I was still a noob back then).

      You’re not my mum! I bought Be a Rock anyway. Keep going, make games!

      I believe in you!

      Would you mind explaining how wishlisting a game helps the devs? Is it an algorithm thing? Will it be shown to more people when it is being wishlisted more?

        yeah pretty much, if a ton of people wishlist a game it pops up more on the front pages of categories bc that means it’s rlly popular

      Does Wishlisting a game help the developer in anyway other than indicating excitement for a game?

      I’d love to know if there an any incentive to interacting with a game’s store page other than buying a game, obviously.

      If Steam gives a bonus for that kind of thing, I’m going to be a lot more generous with my clicks.

        It definitely helps. Every dev I’ve heard talking about releasing a game stresses wishlisting. I forget why, unfortunately. It might make it more noticable, sort of like likensub on YouTube.

        I do know that refunding a game is the absolute worst thing you can do to it.

      One of my friends has your game wishlisted. That’s one more than I expected to see based on your post, so shoutouts to you for exceeding expectations! Hope you keep making better and better games. :)
