A trailer for Sticky Business
Transcript
00:00Hi everyone, my name is Katrin. I am one of the co-founders and a programmer at Spellgarden Games.
00:05And this here is the demo of our game Sticky Business.
00:09And I want to show it to you today.
00:11So, thank you for checking out Sticky Business.
00:14Create your first stickers and attract customers who will share your stories with you.
00:18We're excited to see what you create, so please share your stickers with us and the world.
00:22We hope you enjoy the demo and stick around for the full game.
00:24So, let's go!
00:26We're in the main menu and we will create a new game.
00:32I will have to enter my name.
00:36This is the name, Katrin.
00:39And then, this one's already difficult.
00:42I think I will just call the shop Spellgarden, because I'm not creative enough.
00:49Let's go, new game.
00:52This is so exciting. Having your own sticker shop is a dream come true.
00:56Let me show you around. This is your desk.
00:58You will find everything you need to run your shop.
01:03Let's move to the creative corner and design a sticker to put in your shop.
01:08Right, so what you do in the game is running your own sticker shop and creating your own stickers.
01:14And what we see here is the place where we can create these stickers out of a lot of different elements.
01:20So, we have some food, some gaming themed items, plants, other stuff, space and witchy stuff.
01:29And I think what I want to do first, I want to do something like this.
01:38Okay, I really like this background. This is actually one of my favorite sticker elements, I think.
01:43And I also really like the lavender.
01:48Can I make this even bigger? Yes, I want to make this super big.
01:52Here I can change the size of the outline. I want to make it a little bit smaller, maybe even more.
01:57No, this is as small as it gets.
02:01So, I want to add some lavender.
02:06Bigger? No, I think that's too big.
02:11And one more.
02:13Smaller one, maybe.
02:15I can also mirror them.
02:22And I guess some more would be nice.
02:28And one more here.
02:34Okay, now let's add a sparkle.
02:39Sparkles are always good.
02:41Smaller one.
02:43And one here.
02:45One over here.
02:50You can also change the color of some of these elements. Not all of them can change color.
02:54For example, these plants that have already multiple colors can't change their colors.
02:59But the ones that are just plain white, they can change their color.
03:03But I think I like them in white. Or maybe are they?
03:08I think that's even better.
03:12I'm gonna leave it like this.
03:15Okay, I think I am satisfied for my first sticker for today.
03:20I'm gonna leave it like this.
03:22Okay, let's create it.
03:25So, we can't choose the paper, but for now we only have white paper.
03:30In the full game, we will have some sparkly paper with holographic prints on them.
03:38Just a little animation.
03:40But in the demo we only have white paper, so we will choose the white paper.
03:44I'm gonna name it Lavender Nights.
03:49Sounds nice.
03:51And then here's a cool thing that you can do in our demo.
03:54You can actually save these stickers to your desktop.
03:58And then you can share them on social media or send them to a friend.
04:03Or you can even print them out for yourself and stick them in your notebook or something.
04:11Because it will just save them to your desktop.
04:14And then you can open the folder here and look at them.
04:17And if you want also, of course, share them with us.
04:20I really love looking at these stickers.
04:22It's a lot of fun because people get so creative with it.
04:25So, that's really fun.
04:27Alright.
04:29Let's continue with the game.
04:31I named my sticker.
04:33And let's continue.
04:35Then we have the clock.
04:37This clock over here will show you how much time you have left today.
04:41Creating stickers, printing, packing and sending.
04:45All of that will take time.
04:47So, we will always have to take a little look on this clock.
04:51So, now that your sticker is online and ready for the world to see.
04:55Let's wait until tomorrow to see if we get some orders.
04:58Okay.
05:00Here we go to bed.
05:02We see a little overview of what happened.
05:04Obviously, today not a lot of things happened.
05:07So, we didn't make any money.
05:09Of course.
05:10So, let's go to the next day.
05:12Exciting news.
05:14You've received your first order.
05:16Yay!
05:17Before you can set out those stickers.
05:19We need to arrange them on a sticker sheet.
05:21And get them ready for printing.
05:23Take your time to arrange them with care.
05:25Making sure they fit just right on the sheet.
05:29Okay.
05:30Let's do it.
05:33Again, here you can choose the paper.
05:35We only have the normal white paper at the moment.
05:39And I want to create a sheet with that.
05:42Drag and drop the stickers onto the sheet.
05:44Or simply click them.
05:45And they will automatically find a place on the sheet.
05:47Click on the stickers on the sheet to rotate them.
05:51Okay.
05:52So, I will let them automatically place.
05:55And okay.
05:56There's not a lot of stickers that can fit here.
05:59So, maybe we can see if we can get a bit more place.
06:03No.
06:04But I think if we just manually arrange them a bit.
06:09I think we can fit at least some more.
06:13Let's see.
06:14So, of course, rotating them.
06:17Because they are just a circle.
06:19Doesn't make a big difference.
06:22So, I will just leave them like that.
06:24See if we can just fit some more.
06:29Because every time that we print one of the sheets.
06:32It will cost us.
06:34This is what it says here.
06:35Printing cost 30.
06:37And of course, we want to make as much profit as possible.
06:40So, the potential profit right now is 90.
06:44So, I think each of these stickers.
06:451, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
06:48So, every sticker will cost people to buy 9 coins.
06:54Can I fit another one?
06:56I don't think I can.
07:00No, it's already tight.
07:02Maybe over here.
07:04No, not really.
07:07I guess I could like somehow improve this.
07:12But I think I will just keep going.
07:15And not try to make this perfect.
07:18I think it's good enough.
07:21I saved it.
07:22And now I can delete it or edit it or print it.
07:25Right now I want to print it out.
07:27Let's do it.
07:29That also costs some time.
07:32I think printing it once is enough.
07:34So, we have 10 stickers now.
07:37Now that you have printed your stickers.
07:39It's time to pack up those orders.
07:41Okay.
07:42Let's look at the order that we got.
07:45It's from Miss Honey.
07:46And she says,
07:47Hello, my dear.
07:48I am Miss Honey and I am a music teacher.
07:51A colleague of mine was so enthusiastic about how motivated their pupils were
07:55after they gave them stickers in class that I wanted to try out myself.
07:59Okay.
08:00So, let's pack some stickers for Miss Honey.
08:04Over here we can always see the orders that we have.
08:07Right now we only have one.
08:10At the top bar we can see all the stickers that we have printed out.
08:13Also, only one at the moment.
08:15And over here on the right side,
08:18we have the paper and the filling.
08:21So, I can choose some nice paper for this.
08:26I want to try and match it to these stickers.
08:28So, I'm going to choose purple.
08:31And some filling.
08:33Let's see what fits.
08:35I think the brown one is nice.
08:38And then Miss Honey will get two stickers.
08:43In the full game, we will also have some goodies that you can put into these packets.
08:49Like some sweets and stuff.
08:51It's not in the demo, but it will be in the full game.
08:53So, that will make them extra happy.
08:57And for today, Miss Honey will only get two stickers.
09:00I'm gonna pack it!
09:03So, I've packed all my orders for today.
09:05Let's go back and bring them to the post office.
09:10Now it's time to bring your carefully packed orders to the post office.
09:14Your first customer is already eagerly waiting.
09:17Okay.
09:20So, and with that, your first order is on the way.
09:23This is just the beginning of your very own small business.
09:26Now go ahead and create the sticker shop of your dreams.
09:32Alright, I think we will do that.
09:36As you saw, we already had a lot of options here for sticker elements.
09:42In the full game, there will be even more.
09:44We have this upgrade shop that will be coming soon when the game comes out.
09:49You can look forward to more sticker graphics.
09:52Special glitter paper that I talked earlier about.
09:55That you can get creative with in the full game.
09:58You can also buy extra goodies to put in your packages to make your customers even more happy.
10:03And then there's a reminder to wishlist now.
10:05And I want to remind you too that it would be really helpful if you could go to the Steam page.
10:11Or maybe you are on the Steam page already right now.
10:14Then just go down and click the wishlist button because it really, really helps us out.
10:18And you will get a notification when the game is out.
10:22So you can then get the full version.
10:25Okay.
10:27Yeah, let's go back to the game.
10:29In the full game, we will also have the shop that will be at the top here.
10:34Where there's right now only the keyboard.
10:37And there you can show all the stickers that you make.
10:40You will be able to delete them if you don't want them anymore.
10:44Also, it can be edited a little bit.
10:47You can choose from different colors and some icons.
10:51So you can customize it a little bit.
10:53But that's not in the demo right now.
10:55So I think we will go back to the creator.
10:58And make some more stickers.
11:02So what kind of stickers do we want to make?
11:05So I really love the plants.
11:07I really enjoy making plant stickers.
11:08So I think we will make a plant sticker right now.
11:13Maybe one with this one here.
11:17Okay.
11:24So.
11:26This.
11:29Can I...
11:31I think it needs one more here at the top.
11:35This.
11:40And a big one in front.
11:42Does this look good?
11:44Maybe...
11:46This.
11:51It needs a small leaf right here.
11:55One more.
11:58A really small one.
12:00It's new.
12:01It's a new leaf.
12:04You can't see it that well.
12:07Like this.
12:08One more?
12:09I don't know.
12:11No, I think it's enough.
12:13I like it.
12:15I'm going to leave it that way.
12:18So here we can also see how much time it will take to create the stickers.
12:22So create the stickers obviously is going to take quite some time.
12:26So I want to create them.
12:29I want to call it...
12:32Super cute plant.
12:36And save it.
12:42Okay.
12:43I think we have some time today.
12:45So I want to make a new sheet with this new sticker to print it out.
12:51And with this one actually rotating it will help, I think, to fit more of them onto the paper.
13:02I think this is really satisfying.
13:05If you manage to fit them the way you want, then this is really nice to look at actually.
13:14Okay.
13:15But it also takes some time.
13:19I want to do it perfectly.
13:22Okay.
13:30Like this.
13:35Okay.
13:53And I think then this is full and I can't fit another row.
13:59Probably.
14:00Maybe one rotated this way.
14:02No.
14:05Nope.
14:06It's not working.
14:07It's too bad.
14:08I wish I had some smaller stickers to put in here.
14:14Maybe I could make it more perfect.
14:17I think it's good enough for today.
14:19Let's save it and print it out.
14:22Yay.
14:23Okay.
14:24I'm going to print it out one more time because there is some more time left today.
14:29I'm getting a little bit low on money.
14:32Let's see.
14:33Okay.
14:34I think, yeah, day's over.
14:36Let's go to bed and see if we maybe get some more orders tomorrow.
14:42Okay.
14:43So now we can see that we actually sent one order and the ones that we printed out and
14:49all the money that I spent on printing all of these out.
14:53Tomorrow we need to make some money.
14:58All right.
14:59So we have some orders.
15:00Let's see.
15:02One from Theodore Wood and one from Weston Ortiz.
15:06Okay.
15:09So while I pack these, let me tell you how we started working on Sticky Business because
15:18actually Sticky Business was only planned to be a project that we did between two other
15:24projects.
15:25We wanted to only work on it for three weeks.
15:28We use Notion to organize our tasks and we have a little board that has all of our game
15:35ideas.
15:36So whenever one of us has a game idea, we can put it into this board.
15:40And then between the project, we thought, well, we could use this three weeks that we
15:45have now between this project to make a small game.
15:48And then we went through the board and Sticky Business or the basic idea to Sticky Business
15:54was in this board.
15:57And that was the one that we chose to do in only three weeks.
16:02And well, the basic game was actually finished in three weeks.
16:07And what we wanted to do then after the three weeks were over was like make a C page, put
16:15it on Steam and then just release it.
16:20And then we made a little Twitter post and put it on TikTok.
16:25And we noticed, wow, people are really interested in this game.
16:29It's awesome.
16:30People really want to play it.
16:32And then we thought, OK, we can't just put it on Steam like in this in a state that it's
16:38now because it was it was nice.
16:41It was fun.
16:42But we had so many more ideas that we wanted to add and we thought we can make a really
16:46great game out of it.
16:49So we chose to work a little bit more on it.
16:53And now I think when did we I think we posted the Steam page end of February.
17:01So now it's March, April, May, June.
17:04So it's almost four more months now that we've been working on this game.
17:08And it's I think it's come pretty far.
17:10I'm really proud of it.
17:12And I think it's it turned out very nice.
17:14I'm really happy about it.
17:16And I'm really happy that people enjoy playing the demo.
17:19So if you haven't tried it, you can go to Steam now and check out the demo and try it
17:26out for yourself.
17:27Create your own sticker creations and send them to us because I want to see them.
17:34All right.
17:35Let's pack this one, too.
17:37And now I have packed all my orders for today.
17:39So let's go back, bring them to the post office.
17:45OK.
17:47We did it.
17:48We did it.
17:49So, OK, a little bit more time.
17:51So I want to make one more sticker.
17:56I also really enjoy like these potions and all of this witchy stuff.
18:01I think I'm going to make a smaller sticker so I can put it in between all of the other ones.
18:09Is this small enough?
18:10I think this one is small enough.
18:12Let's try it like this.
18:14So what I've seen from other people, other people making these stickers, because I really
18:20enjoy watching people on social media who are creating their own stickers and they have
18:26so creative ideas that I didn't have.
18:28At some point, I really ran out of ideas for stickers to make and I just made the same
18:33sticker every time because obviously we're testing it a lot and I've played like hours
18:39and hours of this game.
18:41But what I saw from someone that I really, really liked is that you can, with this little
18:48frog head, make some frog juice.
18:53So it looks like it's sticking out.
18:55I think it's really cute.
18:56So I want to make a sticker like this.
18:59And what do I want to add?
19:04Do I want to add maybe some sparkles?
19:07Sparkles!
19:10Sparkles will be nice.
19:15This could be bigger.
19:19I want to still try and make it a small sticker.
19:22I think this is cool.
19:23Maybe a flower?
19:26Does this make sense?
19:27No, I don't know where to put it.
19:32But maybe one more sparkle.
19:33One more sparkle.
19:36Over here.
19:39I also saw people putting like sparkles in the eyes and I think this looks so creepy.
19:45Look at this.
19:49That's spooky.
19:50Okay, let's remove them.
19:52Okay.
19:54This one's called frog juice.
20:01Perfect.
20:02Let's make it bigger.
20:04Okay, and I think I want to put them like in between so I can really use up all this space.
20:18Yes, there it fits.
20:20One more.
20:26Here.
20:30Oh no.
20:33Okay.
20:43Like this.
20:50Can I fit one more here?
20:51I don't think I can.
20:56Maybe here?
20:57No.
20:58Okay.
20:59That's fine.
21:00Let's save it.
21:02And print it out.
21:03Oh no, I can't afford it.
21:04Okay.
21:05Before we can print it out, we will need to make some money.
21:07But first, I want to put the frog also onto this sheet so I can use up all this space
21:15to make profit.
21:18Need to make the profit.
21:20Get rich with stickers.
21:25Also, now that I made this game, I fully think that I could pull it off and have my own sticker
21:31shop in real life.
21:34I probably couldn't.
21:37Okay.
21:38It's full.
21:40Perfect.
21:41So I think, yes, I sent all the packages.
21:44Let's go to sleep.
21:45See if I can now afford another print.
21:50Yes, I sent two.
21:52I made some money.
21:53Let's go to the next day.
21:55Yay.
21:56And we got four new orders.
21:57Four new orders.
21:59So now I want to print out the frog.
22:02Have enough money.
22:03Yes.
22:05Print it out.
22:07Perfect.
22:08Let's see.
22:09Carla.
22:11She's also one of the special customers.
22:13So we will have, in the full game, we will have, I think, over 15.
22:19I think it's seven or it's 15.
22:21Like around 15.
22:22Sorry, I don't know the exact number right now.
22:25Around 15.
22:27Of these special customers that will order several times and they will like really tell
22:32a little story about different things that happen to them, what they will do with your
22:38stickers.
22:40And Carla is one of them.
22:42So Carla says, I just found your shop.
22:44It's super cute.
22:45Looking forward to all your sticker creations.
22:48I also have a sticker shop, but I'm going for a different style.
22:51I'm a fan of mushroom stickers.
22:52I need more of them.
22:54Okay.
22:55So later on, we would have to make a mushroom sticker for Carla.
23:00So she will order again.
23:03Okay.
23:04Carla needs eight of the frog sticker.
23:07I don't have that right now.
23:08Okay, let's go and print more.
23:11Frog juice.
23:12How many frog juice are here?
23:14Okay.
23:15There's only six of this sheet, but seven on this sheet.
23:19Gonna print this out again.
23:24And now give them to Carla.
23:28Eight ones.
23:29Okay.
23:30But I want to make them nice in this little package.
23:34So it doesn't look cluttered.
23:39Okay.
23:40And some nice paper.
23:42I like this one.
23:44Oh, yes.
23:45Very colorful.
23:46Perfect.
23:47And pack it.
23:49And ready.
23:50Okay.
23:51Anna White also wants froggy stickers.
23:57There they are.
24:00And I'm gonna choose.
24:04I think this is also a nice color combination.
24:12This one's easy.
24:13Brody, just one.
24:15And it has to be purple, of course.
24:17Purple and brown.
24:22And two more.
24:26We always have several days to send these stickers.
24:32Because we don't want to stress out too much.
24:35We have three days to pack them.
24:36So if we didn't get around to doing it today,
24:39we could just do it tomorrow and the day after.
24:43But we want to be quick.
24:44We want to send them out as soon as possible.
24:48Oh, also, this is nice.
24:49Fits perfectly with the sticker.
24:52Yellow and purple.
24:54Pack it.
24:55Yes, you've packed all your orders for today.
24:57Let's go back and bring them to the post office.
25:01And send them out.
25:03Okay.
25:04Phew.
25:05That was close.
25:06But we managed to do everything for today.
25:09Let's see how much money we made.
25:10If we made any money.
25:11Or if we printed too much.
25:13No.
25:14Okay.
25:15Yeah, but we printed a lot.
25:16And it's fine.
25:17It's fine.
25:18Also, one thing that will happen in this screen.
25:20So if you're watching a Twitch screen of Sticky Business.
25:24Or maybe you're a Twitch streamer yourself.
25:26We do have Twitch integration.
25:28And what will happen each night.
25:30Is that you will see a screen.
25:32Where the chat can order the stickers.
25:35That the streamer made.
25:38So the orders.
25:39Instead of being random people.
25:41Will come from the chat.
25:43And the streamer can then pack them.
25:45Specifically for you.
25:46I think that's really cute.
25:49So.
25:51Here's the next day.
25:53Yeah.
25:54And here's what I just said.
25:55That actually some of these customers.
25:58Will come multiple times.
25:59Like for example Miss Honey.
26:01She's here again.
26:02And she says.
26:03Good evening my dear.
26:05I tested the new stickers.
26:07And my students are now working really hard.
26:09To receive one as a reward.
26:11I will continue to order.
26:13That's great.
26:14We made her students happy.
26:17That's nice.
26:18Okay.
26:19I'm gonna send her.
26:22These stickers.
26:25So hopefully she can make a lot more students happy.
26:34Okay.
26:35Now there's a lot of people.
26:36That want frog stickers.
26:38And I think.
26:39Before I print a lot of these.
26:42I will make one sheet.
26:44Specifically for the froggy stickers.
26:50So in the beginning.
26:51Actually when we started.
26:52Developing this game.
26:54This screen looked a lot different.
26:56Like after the first three weeks.
26:58That we worked on the game.
26:59When it was the first version of the game.
27:03You had to.
27:05Put them on the sheet.
27:06Every single time you wanted to print them.
27:08And that got really tedious.
27:10After some time.
27:12And we also added the feature.
27:14That you only click them.
27:15And then they appear.
27:17Like on a perfect spot.
27:19Or not a perfect spot.
27:21But a nice spot.
27:23That is okay-ish.
27:24You can leave it like that.
27:26We added that.
27:27Pretty late.
27:28After we noticed.
27:30If we have a very small sticker.
27:32You have to drag and drop.
27:34So many times.
27:36That it takes a very long time.
27:37So we added this.
27:38And now it's.
27:39I mean it's relatively fast.
27:41I could go in and.
27:43Fit.
27:44Probably at least.
27:45One more row.
27:47Onto this sheet.
27:48But I.
27:49I think.
27:50Like for me.
27:51This is good enough.
27:52I think there are definitely.
27:53A lot of people.
27:54Who will go and make this perfect.
27:56But not today.
27:57So we already have a potential profit.
27:59Of 84 coins.
28:00And that's enough.
28:02It's fine.
28:03Let's save this.
28:04And print it out.
28:05And then I can.
28:06Send the rest of the orders.
28:09So.
28:10Nani White.
28:11She also ordered.
28:12I saw her name.
28:14So it's her.
28:15Her second order.
28:16As well.
28:24All right.
28:26Choose some paper.
28:28This one's nice.
28:30Pack it.
28:32And then.
28:33Ella Williams.
28:34Also five.
28:35Froggies.
28:36Frog juice.
28:41Okay.
28:46This one.
28:47Okay.
28:48And then.
28:49I'm going to pack it.
28:51Packed all the orders for today.
28:52Let's go back.
28:53And bring them.
28:54To the post office.
28:58And send.
29:00Let's go.
29:01Back to sleep.
29:03Okay.
29:04I think.
29:05That's it.
29:06For today.
29:07Today.
29:08We actually made.
29:09Profit.
29:1030 coins.
29:11Great.
29:12Going to be.
29:13Sticker millionaires.
29:14Very soon.
29:16Yeah.
29:17I think this is it.
29:18For.
29:19For today's stream.
29:20Thank you so much for watching.

29:36When the game will come out.
29:38And it would really help us.
29:39And support us.
29:40So.
