// LIVE_COURSE
A 15-minute micro-course for solo devs who want to turn Steam Next Fest traffic into measurable launch revenue. It focuses on the narrow conversion moments that matter most: capsule clicks, demo retention, wishlist timing, follow-up messaging, and launch-day execution.
// MODULES
Most Next Fest traffic leaks before players even see your demo because the capsule and short description do not answer the right question fast enough. This module shows how to tighten your visual promise so more festival impressions turn into clicks, wishlists, and demo installs.
Wishlists are most valuable when your release messaging lands inside the short period where player intent is still hot. This section explains how to line up announcements, discounts, and launch communication so the post-festival spike converts instead of cooling off.
If the first three minutes do not pay off the promise from your capsule, most players bounce before they understand the game. This module focuses on the first-session hook, what to reveal early, and which friction points quietly kill conversion.
Players who wishlist during Next Fest still need a few clean reminders before launch day. This section gives a short follow-up sequence that reinforces the core fantasy, highlights proof points, and keeps your game from disappearing in a crowded inbox.
Launch day is where all of the accumulated intent either compounds or gets wasted by preventable mistakes. This final module covers the practical checks for timing, store page updates, community posts, and CTA alignment so the handoff from wishlist to sale is clean.
