@PokeIndie If I'm not already convinced by 1 screenshot then I won't be convinced by any of the others

@Seekyr thank you for covering Highways & Co.!

I'm starting a free newsletter for game devs called Indie Outliers!

It follows games that earned sudden wishlist spikes. I investigate what happened, and share marketing tips you can use for your own game.

First issue is about @highwaysandco, and it's live right now!

@KenneyNL @MalosPanes @itchio hooking up butler to gh actions was a huge productivity boost

for new pages you could setup a playwright script so it can interact with the browser automatically on your behalf

@Mr_Spoon_Dev congrats!

[Highways & Co. | traffic sim @highwaysandco]

if I had to give a couple of tips/takeaways, they'd be

1. have a solid one sentence pitch. it should target the right person

2. have a compelling gameplay screenshot (not the same as capsule art). a player that should like your game MUST know it in 5 secs

How my first game got 30k wishlists in its first week
