Market Study is a Google Sheets document which allows you to get a rough estimate of sales and revenues of any released title on Steam.
It’s precise enough to get an idea of how successful a particular title was, which is a critical piece of information for any game dev. I use it almost every single day.
Update: Julien Cotret (@CotretJulien via Twitter) made a script to fill in details automatically: link.
How to use it?
To use it, just fill in the required information:
- Game title,
- Game Steam AppID (it’s part of the url of a game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/70300/VVVVVV)
- Game release date (from store page)
- Game full price (from store page)
- Open the SteamSpy page of the game by clicking the “📈” icon. Copy the “owners” count. You will need a Steam Spy account. Please support their great work!

This is probably not the right place sorry for the inconvenience, I wanted to express my admiration for your work in pixel art. Your pieces are truly inspiring and have motivated me to try my hand at this art form. Do you have any tips or recommendations for a beginner like myself on how to get better?
Thank you for this!
