This video does a great job of showing all the extra work solo indie devs have to take on. You can't rely on your marketing dept or anything like that. And I was going to guess Epic was the hardest to update, but I thought it was a trick question!
Thank you for watching! That was always my aim for the channel, do as much as I can for others who want to get into the indie dev space, especially doing it solo.

Great work on another fabulous, informative, and educational devlog~ I'll be seeing you real soon to talk about it some more~~
Great video!! Good job making it!! It's bad to hear than only the 1% of the people than downloaded it played the game, but it's good to hear than the people than played it the 95% had the game wishlisted :D Also great shoutouted game!! Good job for the developers!!
First of all, you're welcome. Second of all, I'm sorry that the Download vs Playthrough ratio wasn't that great, but I know that most people who got your demo loved it! (including me)
Jumped up another 3 or so players since the video came out. Biggest leap in a few days, so maaaybe people are getting into it this weekend :) Thank you so much - really glad you enjoyed it!
