Helping Indie Games Launch Better on Steam
Launching on Steam is more competitive than ever. I've made costly mistakes, wasted time, and learned difficult lessons through real launches—so you don't have to.
My mentorship is built to help indie developers avoid common pitfalls, prepare for Steam Next Fest, attract publishers, build a community, and create a launch strategy that gives their game the best chance to stand out.
Is This for You?
This service is ideal if:
You're preparing your first Steam launch.
You're joining Steam Next Fest.
You're looking for a publisher.
Your wishlist growth has stalled.
You want your game to look more professional.
You're unsure whether your Steam page is converting.
Not every launch was a success—and that's one of my greatest strengths.
One of our titles sold only 259 copies, forcing us to rethink every aspect of our launch process. Those lessons became the foundation of a proven approach that helped later projects achieve over 10,000 wishlists, secure publisher interest, and build engaged communities before release.
Today, I help indie developers avoid costly mistakes and launch their games with greater confidence.
Hi, I'm Diogo Ferreira, an Art Director and Game Designer with over 15 years of experience creating games for mobile and PC.
Over the past few years, I've focused on launching indie games on Steam—working on art direction, Steam store pages, launch strategy, Steam Next Fest preparation, community building, and publisher outreach.
I've experienced both successful launches and disappointing ones, and those lessons shaped the process I now use to help other indie developers avoid costly mistakes and launch with confidence.
Why Work With Me?
But above all, I'm a lifelong gamer. I don't just work on games—I play them, study them, and understand what captures players' attention. That perspective helps me evaluate your game not only as a developer, but also through the eyes of your audience.
My goal is simple: help your game stand out, attract more wishlists, and launch with a clear strategy.
