To release an 8-hour long demo of your upcoming game, like Italian studio Jyamma Games did with their soulslike Enotria: The Last Song , takes guts and confidence. When the studio offered this generous slice of the game for players to try out during the last Steam Next Fest, reactions were very positive. Marketing Manager Christina Leontii says she understands that it looks like a unique choice, but the reasons behind it were very clear.

The conventional wisdom about releasing premium games on mobile platforms is very simple these days. To sum it up in a single word: don't. To sum it up in a few more words, it's broadly accepted that mobile platforms are the sole preserve of free-to-play models, to the extent that any premium game on these platforms is being sent out to die – that the audience is so accustomed to an up-front price tag of zero that they will balk at being asked to pay anything more, no matter how reasonable

Steam could do that, but that would make it a much more strongly-curated platform similar to the game consoles. This would ultimately result in games that had a higher quality bar, but also a lot fewer games in general because there's no way to automate testing games like that. Further, it would also significantly raise the cost of publishing games due to needing workers to do the vetting and quality assurance - they would have to test every game that gets submitted to make sure they comply with

Have you ever played a game with amazing graphics, but something just didn’t feel right? The problem might be the lighting. Lighting isn’t just about making things visible; it’s a crucial element that shapes emotions and guides your experience. Bad lighting can make a game world feel dull and lifeless, while great lighting can make a game unforgettable by creating emotions, leading your exploration, and immersing you in a believable world.
