I finally launched my first steam game after 9 months of development

So after facing delays so many times I never thought I'd actually reach this point lol. Once I launched it I could finally sleep.

I dare say, still not as bad as my FYP.

But now I've graduated from the uncertainty of completion to uncertainty of sales :)

It is reminding me of Souls movie, where he doesn't feel very different after landing a winner gig. But tbh it does feel like a huge weight off my mind.

So here's me, trying to not get lost in time. I took one day, after launch to get myself back on feet, clean up, had a cake for celebration too. Then I started making the marketing materials (because well.. I was not able to market up the time before launch) so here I'm doing that today 😅

I've noted what next things to work on - within this game, and other stuff, and I am quite anxious to dive back into development. Let's see how it goes ✌

What were your first launches like?

I just launched my first steam game :o

Honestly feels so unreal to finally have hit that launch button. I have been developing it for months (since August last year)

- Another addition to Pakistani games on steam hehe

honestly when I started indie development, I didn't know theres many Pakistanis doing this, but there are so many talented people here. Whats another underrated niche in Pakistan in your eyes?
