I pull this from public Steam data for a tool I'm building for indie devs. Private beta for now.

Next Fest, games under 500 followers. I looked at 5,128 demos.

The median one peaked at 2 players at once. Only 9% ever hit 10+.

Co-op: 27% hit 10+. Idle: 19%. Platformers: 1%.

Honest part: idle games and desktop companions stay open in the background, and co-op demos bring friends. And players aren't wishlists.

Roguelites, since half of you make one: 9%. Exactly the fest average lol

What's your niche?

New tools available :

UV unwrapping in one line: more seams = less stretch, fewer seams = more stretch.

UVgami lets you pick that trade-off and unwraps the rest for you. Free, open source, runs in your browser, desktop or Blender

That wall full of old posters, polaroids and string that takes forever to place by hand? G_ni made Blender add-ons for it: cut, age and damage the posters, then pin them with tape, pins and string !

If you texture in Substance Painter and check everything in UE5, this one’s for you.

TexBridge: one click exports your maps, imports them in Unreal, sets compression and sRGB, and builds the Material Instances. No manual reimports.
