My small team and I (bloodpixels.com) will release our very first game next month on steam. More or less as open beta.

We all worked on games before but 1) as a hobby and 2) as some fun side project. So this is the first with an actual release plan. None of us had any actual experience as professional game dev.

What I want to say, I totally understand you!

We also struggled with our kickstarter (we reached our initial goal but it was really low). Had to learn how and where to promote our game and so on.
We are really excited, and maybe a bit scared as well, of our coming release.

Good luck to you guys!
