Spent 3 years of my life making an indie game. Dropped out of uni because of it.

In the end nobody downloaded it on Steam.

Meanwhile asset flip chads made huge bucks, 10 times as many games and put in a tenth of the effort.

>>85717655
What's the game brother and did you advertise/market it
>>
Lmao I knew those indie seethe threads were made by a failed indie dev. No offense
>>
>>85717667
How / where does one advertise and market games?
I dont wanna put any money in marketing because the game is free

>Dropped out of uni because of it.
I mean, you didn't miss out on much. Diploma or not, it's unemployment pro max
>>
Every market is saturated: Youtube, Twitch, Steam, Amazon books..

Is there ANYTHING a man can do in 2026?

I inherited a lot of money and I'm making my own videogame. I want it to be a big success so I'm going to reach out to actual professionals of the gaming field.
Here's a list of the people I want to hire. Can you make sure I've assigned them to fitting roles that suit their skillset? Thanks.

4chan ads are apparently $0.05 for 1,000 people. Seems like even if only 10 people downloaded it that's not too bad. Spend a dollar and that's 200 downloads.
>>
>>85717655
tell us, and we will try to give it a play
>>
Did you at least make some YouTube videos about it and post some cool stuff from it on x, tiktok, and Instagram?
>>
>>85717673
Just spam it on /v/. Befriend a bunch of trannies on discord to help provided it isnt an edgy right wing game. You're pretty much fucked if it is because nobody but troons will advertise stuff for free.
>>
>>85717686
You need Derek Smart in there too.
>>
>>85717673
ok just drop the name here faggot, whats it called on steam?
>>
>>85717673
>How / where does one advertise and market games?
make a trailer and post on youtibe
go to reddit and tell people to play it
write e mails to streamers and youtubers
>>

I mean you can't really be upset if nobody downloaded your game then. How else are people going to know it exists? Also charge $1 for it at least. You put time into it and there's literal slop on Steam that costs more than that and gets sales.
>>
How was dropping out to make a free game ever going to be viable?
>>
>>85717655
Dude I will download your game if you tell me what it is. I'll assume you're not lying about making a game, but this is the second thread you've made and haven't given the name or a description of it and it feels like you're trying to keep it a secret at this point.

>How do I get people to play my game?
Tell us about it nigger
>>
>>85717777
Anon I dont have socila media accounts and if I create ones now, they wont have any followers and my uploads will get 0 views
>>
>>85717655

Very sad. I'm open to collaborating on a new project as I'm currently using defold as the game engine.

I use simplex chat to connect with any aspiring game developers
