First Sale + Explosion
Huge day. PlayScout got its first sale!
Someone grabbed the 3-search pack at full price, no promo code, and their list landed in their inbox a minute later. That one meant a lot. So I leaned in. There's a new $29 option now where I hand-pick 50 creators for your game myself, and the home page shows all three prices side by side. Result cards tell you if a creator posted lately and how to reach them, which came straight from a dev asking "are they even active?" Soundtrack and ambience channels don't show up in results anymore either.
The big new thing is Key drops. You paste in your Steam keys, send each creator their own claim link, and you can see who grabbed a key right on your outreach board. Cards also show a Fit score now, so you can tell at a glance who's a good match.
ComposerScout had its best signup day yet: 15 new accounts, and we're up to 53. Welcome in, everyone! Signing in now gives you a hello and a Get started list, home shows a featured game and people to check out, and studios get a Game of the day spot. Voice actors got their own shortcut on Browse, and creators can now offer work a studio isn't even hiring for yet. If you want to help keep ComposerScout free, there's a Support link now, once or monthly, and supporters get a 💛 badge on their profile. I still never take a cut of anyone's gigs.
Next up: Steam Next Fest starts today, so I'm all in on outreach this week.
