Feedback on my Steam page? The Maker Way Hi all! I'm working on The Maker Way and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1532270/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 76/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were demo & social proof (50), trailers (60), short description (65), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Would a demo or playtest make you more likely to wishlist? 2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay? 3. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/the-maker-way Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
Check each community's rules first; many have a weekly feedback thread or require a gameplay video.
