Valve accidentally steps on the make-up deal it offered to the indie game whose 2024 release was ruined by a Steam bug: ‘I really get the feeling that Planet Centauri is cursed’

Planet Centauri is an indie 2D sandbox game that took over a decade to develop and accumulated more than 130,000 wishlists before its 1.0 release. A bug in Steam caused the announcement email for the launch to not reach wishlist users. Valve featured Planet Centauri as one of Steam's Daily Deals on November 12 to help regain visibility, which resulted in over 5,000 copies sold in a single day. The developers, Permadeath, stated this was enough to support them for at least a year and allow them to finish their second game. Planet Centauri is currently available on Steam for .49/£6/€7, reflecting a 50% discount.

9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game

Planet Centauri, a 2D sandbox game developed by Permadeath, launched after a decade in early access but sold only 581 units in its first five days. Despite over 100,000 sales and being on 130,000 wishlists, the game failed to gain visibility on Steam, not appearing on its New & Trending listings. The developer, Laurent Lechat, expressed frustration over the lack of reach, noting that the game's trailer had nearly 500,000 views on YouTube. Valve offered to feature Planet Centauri as a Daily Deal to improve visibility. The team has decided to pivot to developing a new roguelike game using the same engine, acknowledging that continuing to patch the original game is no longer feasible.

Dev says Steam bug ruined “more than 10 years” of work and tanked their game’s 1.0 launch, Valve says oops and offers a Daily Deal slot “to help make up for lost visibility”

The developers of the indie game Planet Centauri experienced a significant setback during their 1.0 launch due to a bug in the Steam wishlist notification system, which resulted in their launch notifications not being sent out. This glitch, affecting less than 100 games since 2015, severely impacted their sales. Valve acknowledged the issue on September 12 and offered a Daily Deal to help mitigate the visibility loss, but industry experts noted that such deals cannot fully compensate for the effects of a failed launch. The developers highlighted the improbability of their situation, being one of only a few games affected out of over 86,000 on Steam.
