Steam Next Fest has been kind of surreal so far.
To be honest, we had no idea how Cat Mail Co. was performing compared to other games in the festival. You see the wishlists going up, but you do not really know how other games are performing.
Then we got access to a tool that compares your Steam Next Fest performance to previous editions. After entering our numbers, we realized that we are getting around 10x more wishlists per day than what we should be getting based on our starting point.
On top of that, seeing the game appear in the trending upcoming games during the festival honestly feels unreal. It feels like we are dreaming, and it is giving us a huge boost of motivation to keep pushing forward.
So first of all, thank you.
Thank you to everyone who played the demo, wishlisted the game, shared it, or talked about it with friends. It means a lot more than you might think.
If you want to help us even more, sharing the game around you really makes a difference. Every wishlist helps us continue making the kind of games you want to play.
All this going crazy I am still trying to understand how all this happened. For that do you think you could write in the comment how you found about Cat Mail Co.? Are you organically coming from Steam or anywhere on the internet?
We also want to say that we have been reading everything. All your comments in the Steam discussions, all the demo reviews, every bit of feedback. It has been amazing to see.
We are taking notes on everything, even the smallest suggestions, and we will do our best to turn all of that into the best possible experience for the full release.
Back to work, and thank you again for being part of this with us. — The Maracas Studio team
