Hello fellow bucket lovers! I've posted here before about my game called Do Not Press The Button (To Delete The Multiverse): STEAM LINK

And I've gotten very positive feedback and even a few of you did play-tested my game. From what screenshots I've posted here, people seem to like it a lot and today I wake up and find out that I've gotten over 5000 wishlists! This something I never imagined when I was starting this goofy ass project! So thank you to everyone!

Just a tip as an indie dev. Some people could reach out to you to promote your games, defining themselves as curators, promoters and the sort. Check their history; abstain from handing multiple Steam keys for free. These keys could end up in third party markets (like g2a, kinguin) , reducing actual sales for your games. Check their legitimacy first.

Thank you! Do you mean hear on Lemmy?

Not specifically on Lemmy, but basically any way you could be contacted as the developer of the game

This video explains it from the perspective of someone that found their keys given resold on other platforms:
