A little story: my new year's resolution was to pivot my music career into indie games. In 10 days, the first one comes out. We're at 75k wishlists and popular upcoming is so close! All thanks to @mheepdev.bsky.social's amazing roguelite, The Loopler: s.team/a/4150860 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

75k wishlists off a music-to-games pivot in one year is a wild ratio, most first devs don't clear 10k. Did scoring your own trailer help conversion, or was that a separate push?

oh no, to be clear, the pivot is *music* for indie games, from music for trailers prior. i'm not actually making the games. i chose the loopler because the early demo was special. scoring and cutting the trailer just felt natural. wishlists came from NF, tiny teams, YT coverage, and the calendar.

but it IS mheep's first game, and the 75k wishlists are indeed wild. but it's not a surprise because he made a genuinely great game.
