DEVLOG March & April 2026 - How I doubled the WISHLIST count

View store page The first official trailer for SILKROAD Project is finally out… and honestly, the response completely exceeded my expectations.

In this devlog, I talk about everything that happened behind the scenes over the past few weeks:

• Releasing the first official trailer

• Completely revamping the Steam page

• Learning how to approach marketing as a solo developer

• Reaching out to press, media, and industry professionals

• What worked (and what really didn’t 😅) on social media

• How the trailer ended up more than doubling my wishlists in just one week

• And finally… getting back to development, with a renewed focus on combat and enemy AI

This past month has been one of the biggest learning experiences I’ve had since starting this project, and I wanted to share both the wins and the lessons that came with it.

If you enjoy following solo gamedev journeys, indie RPG development, or just want to see how SILKROAD Project is shaping up, I hope you enjoy the video.

And if the game looks like your kind of thing, don’t forget to wishlist it on Steam. It genuinely helps more than you might think. Thanks for watching, and thanks for following the journey.
