An all-in-one platform to successfully launch games on Steam
Designed to enable developers and publishers to manage and optimize their Steam release in one place from start to finish. The platform consists of three key pillars; Teaching, Tooling and To-do List.

Get peace of mind with a complete checklist of every single task you have to complete for a successful launch. Use the integrated calendar to plan your entire release inside the platform and never worry about all the things you don't know ever again.
Execute
The workspace offers tools for indie devs to easily execute each step of the publishing process. Set up a fully localized store page in record time, export all Steam image assets localized in 30 languages with 1 click, and set up and manage influencer and press campaigns from inside the platform.
Nice to meet you!
I'm Barry, solo developer under the name Delayed Victory. After a decade of experience in video game publishing and launching over 65 games, I became a self-published solo developer. In the last 3 years I've solo-developed and self-published 3 games, generating well over $1 million dollars in revenue, without spending a dollar on marketing or posting on social media. My philisophy is that the best marketing tool is a great game, so the less time you spend on publishing, the more time you can spend on improving your game. With this platform I hope to teach and enable developers to do exactly that.
