Juuso, my steam group for my completed game (Labyrinthica) has only one member. Me.
You are kind of like jesus, every where you step you have a group of followers. lol
I would love to have a steam group for my new game or my older game(Labyrinthica) with 50 people. Please tell me how. :)

Congratulations! It’s hard to get people interested in a game with no trailers, proto, etc. So it’s a very good news for your project.
That said, I do think the #1 reason to setup a Steam group is to help getting your game on Steam once it’s finished. Because we all know that Steam doesn’t take every game submitted. If you end up with a Steam group with 500+ members, they can easily have an idea if it makes sense to get your game on their platform…

Steam group is… well, not sure if it’s so much of a blog. More of a group with chatter.

But…I guess you sort of could use it for blogging. Perhaps.

Didn’t even know you could host a blog on Steam, I’ll definetly set one up when we start promoting Fray.

Yeh, I was bit surprised to see how many people like to use it.

Hmmm, interesting, I would have never thought about using Steam in that manner currently (kinda like a mini version of indie/mod db I suppose).

Thanks for sharing as ever :)
