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.
>>85717655Meanwhile asset flip chads made huge bucks, 10 times as many games and put in a tenth of the effort.
>>85717655What'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
>>85717667How / where does one advertise and market games?I dont wanna put any money in marketing because the game is free
>>85717655>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.Art and graphics>Dan SalvatoProgramming / Lead C++ Engine Architect>Tee LopesOriginal Soundtrack>Chris LanganInventory item descriptions (just 2-3 words long)>Hideo KojimaCheap plasticy 3D animations>Hayao MiyazakiVoice actor for every character in the game>Elon MuskUser Engagement & Data Mining Specialist>Tristan HarrisBug testing / Quality Assurance>Todd HowardCustomer service / Support ticket specialist>Gabe Newell
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.
>>85717655tell 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?
>>85717673Just 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.
>>85717686You need Derek Smart in there too.
>>85717673ok 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 youtibego to reddit and tell people to play itwrite e mails to streamers and youtubers
>>85717673>I dont wanna put any money in marketing because the game is freeI 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?
>>85717655Dude 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
>>85717777Anon I dont have socila media accounts and if I create ones now, they wont have any followers and my uploads will get 0 views
>>85717655Very 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 developershttps://smp10.simplex.im/i#_Fp0bSDYtSpXlEsKW6GYYEq0GqNBeZwA/Vmjdlg7Yg7V3XMIu3_lVTwIhEVsiDX6JK268RRliqUA
>>85717827Oh that makes sense if you don't have any accounts idk how you'd get them
