With hundreds of games releasing each week, discoverability is a well-known issue for game developers and publishers on Steam, even as the storefront has made moves to address the issue, like a personalized release calendar for users. Still, the final boss of game development for indies and their AAA counterparts is getting players’ eyes on their games.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What likely doesn’t help that issue? Releasing your game the same week as another game with the exact<\/em> same name. That’s what happened to the developers of Piece by Piece<\/em> and Piece by Piece<\/em>, but they’ve made the most of it.<\/p>\n Gamkat’s Piece by Piece<\/em> is a cozy management sim. You’ll play as an adorable orange fox who runs a repair shop. Neon Polygons’ Piece by Piece<\/em>, which came out two days later, is a puzzle platformer whose levels are divided into puzzle pieces. You’ll connect, move, and rotate them to progress.<\/p>\n A Reddit post gained traction last week when a user searched for one of the games, presumably this one that’s a literal puzzle platformer. “I feel this is going to mislead a lot of people,” the post was titled, with its description reading, “marketing should prevent this sort of thing.”<\/p>\n An employee of No More Robots, publisher of the cozy shopkeeping Piece by Piece<\/em>, noticed and commented on the post. “The actual situation is that both ourselves and the dev team behind the other Piece by Piece<\/em> somehow managed to announce the same week of release for both our games, had a good laugh about it together, and then put both games into a Steam bundle together,” they said. “Not exactly sure how anyone is being ‘mislead’, but on our side, we\u2019re all happy and having fun with it :)”<\/p>\n A developer at Neon Polygons, the makers of the puzzler Piece by Piece<\/em>, also chimed in. “As a small indie team you might imagine how we felt when we first saw No More Robots\u2019 Piece by Piece<\/em>. They\u2019ve handled this coincidence with nothing but grace and we\u2019re honored to share the same name\/launch week as them. Cheers guys.” In a separate thread, the Neon Polygons developer said they “had been warned about the potential risks in reaching out” to the people behind the other Piece by Piece<\/em>, but are glad they did. “The folks at No More Robots & Gamkat are top-notch people.”<\/p>\n Both games are currently on sale with introductory discount offers, and both have positive player ratings so far. Gamkat’s Piece by Piece<\/em> is discounted by 20% until March 25, and Neon Polygons’ Piece by Piece<\/em> is on sale for 15% off until March 27.<\/p>\n Like the No More Robots employee mentioned, you can snag both games in a bundle for $18.57, or 17% off the total price of both games. “It\u2019s crazy to think that if you act like human beings about a situation, it somehow ends up great?? Who would have guessed,” they commented.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
