I learned my lesson last year... wandersong launched September 27 and every major site that had been in touch with us before release was wall to wall on coverage of a AAA cowboy game when wandersong actually came out

The common wisdom amongst indies has been to never launch your game after September, bc AAA owns Q4. Makes for one heck of an indie release schedule in September.... >.> at this point I think the only safe thing to do as an indie is just never launch a game

A lot of journalists didn’t get around to it until December or January... that was partially why so many major gaming sites wrote about our steam “learning about this game” bug this January.

It was kind of a bummer in that context to see people at kotaku and polygon say wandersong was one of their 2018 GOTYs... like, a couple weeks after they had published their GOTY lists without it.

(All this said, Wandersong was still EXTREMELY LUCKY and we did great!)

Moom'll bop me for this but maybe shooting for a month or so after a particular big release is a good idea? That way talk will likely have died down a little and some players will be looking for their next fix.

there weren't any substantial gaps anymore in 2014, there's definitely none now :P

I keep missing the bad windows by not releasing my game. I’m a genius.

September is especially crazy this year. Normally I'm used to buying 2 or 3 games a week for September to November but there are much much more notable games launching each week right now.
