About the game
Yesterday’s News was a hobby game I made with my friends after the Global Game Jam in 2024. We decided to practice releasing it on Steam and so that is what we did. I was the producer for the project. Overall, it was a fun process and I learned a lot.
Learning points
During this process I learned a lot about marketing, like posting on socials, contacting streamers and looking into festivals.
Contract management also played a big role in this project. It was everyone’s first time creating a contract so getting aligned on that front was a fun challenge.
Steam
This was my second time launching a project on Steam and my first time working on a multiplayer project. We decided to employ a system where one person buys the game while others play for free through the demo.
