It looks like that post is gone from the Kotaku front page, so I thought I'd share how that article affected some stats for Star Spark.

Nov. 26: 182 wishlists
Dec. 02: 362 wishlists
Total page views: 1246

Wishlists practically doubled and 1246 people clicked on the store link.

That means around 14-15% of the people who saw the game liked it enough to wishlist it.

That might seem low, but it's still way more than I expected and I'm super grateful for the bump!

Really happy to share that I have been invited by SAE Institute Germany to give a masterclass in February. Really looking forward to sharing a bit of my personal journey as an artist, a look into my methods and inspirations and also talking about our way forward in an industry that has become increasingly difficult to navigate because of LLMs and a generally a higher expected level of expertise.
