Best Practices for Launching a Sci-Fi Resource Management Game on Steam

·Aug 21, 2026 02:07 PM·

Has anyone here successfully launched a game on Steam? I've been vibe coding a resource management style simulation game, and am looking for info on best practices in the space. It's sort of The Oregon Trail meets Rollercoaster Tycoon meets Rimworld, and is a scifi parody.

I have not, but I know someone that makes Indy games (100% AI-free though), and I can potentially intro you if interested.

That could be very helpful. I would really appreciate it. Thank you. My game is only AI-generated to a point, I'm hand-drawing most of the graphics and writing all of the scene cards. AI is mainly helping me with Godot integration, because I know Photoshop inside and out, but I've never worked with sprites and pathfinding very much.

I emailed him to see if he’s open to an intro, if he is, send me your info (feel free to DM me) and I’ll connect you.
