I really should be keeping a list of these with descriptions, so why not keep them in an article? <br>

log button inputs to replay the game, for use in preproducing bugs, sharing replays on the community leaderboard, running cutscenes, and even controlling AI. It is 100% accurate in deterministic engines but also helpful in less deterministic engines.
Blessfrey has a story and character arcs. Let's get more confident with our story with online resources. <br>

Summarize the basic idea, ask questions about what you don't know, answer the questions, make a list of all the scenes you know should be included, go back and flesh things out. </li>

<h2><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJiv14uPOac">Empathizing with Steam: How People Shop for Your Game </a></h2><br>
Chris Zukowski (2020) <br>
tips for how to design your Steam store page based on Zukowski's screenshare and shopping diary observations of ordinary people shopping on Steam <br>
<br>
<h2>general </h2><br>
<ul>
<li>Essentially, make your gameplay genre absolutely clear within the first 4 screenshots and in the short description so that people will wishlist your game to buy during a seasonal Steam Sale. </li>
<li>Approach your wishlisters as complete newcomers. Jazz up your Steam page before a Steam Sale. Release an update, post in your forums, put a Santa hat on your character. When wishlisters return to your page, they will see an active game and be sold on it all over again. </li>
<li>His conclusions are very similar to how I shop on Steam, except I could care less for the tag section. </li>
<li>The romantic indie fiction section on Amazon dwarves the indie game section on Steam. To be immediately visible to their audience, romance authors follow a clear visual language on their covers to communicate their genres and sub-genres. Zukowski uses this as an extreme method for attracting your audience using the tropes of your genre, pointing out common UI elements and the shooter guy on every FPS cover. </li>
