Should your Steam store page have a trailer video before releasing/opening the page, or do u think its fine if the trailer is added soon after the publishing?🤔 #indie #indiedev #indiegame #Steam #indiegamedev

Left or right one for the header capsule on Steam's store page? #vndev #vn #SteamGame #gameart #Indiedev

First glimpse of Finnish 🇫🇮 translations 😎✌️ 日本語訳も後日公開予定! (Japanese 🇯🇵 translations are coming later as well👀) #vn #indiedev #translation #torille #vndev

The trailer video is cooking nicely... 🧐👌 Konaka's voice🎙️ by @cosmicr3na.bsky.social #indiedev #vn #voiceacting #va

Shhh! 🤫 I'm cooking something for the trailer video... 🧐😎 (C = Chisaki)

Which one's better?

After learning more about the Steam store page's "quality measures," I got inspired to update the header capsule since that one is apparently the most important one. Better or worse than the previous one? Or even more "marketable" look now? 🤔

Should I make localized names for SftH (Scenes from the Heart)? 🤔 Sure, they can sound a bit cringe that way, but was still wondering should I do it or skip...
