I've made a soulful kinogem and nobody bought it. Should've made a garbageous streamerbait friendslop and made millions instead.
Don't repeat my mistake. Nobody wants soulful games these days, gamers only buy disposable slop games that they can consume in an hour.

whats the game?

Dont make art unless you are content with no one seeing it.

I don't think /v/ would like it very much.
>>
did you put any serious effort into advertising it
at all
>>
>>724136192
hey bro just inject coomer assets into it and upload a version to f95/patreon. I’m sure you’re a reddit fag and your game is actually dogshit but you gotta put bread on the table too
>>
>>724136290
Oh come on don't be shy. At least describe it
>>
>>724136402
It's a shootist game. Where you have to shoot people in the face.
>>
>>724136432
>made another generic neo-boomer-shooter
>>
>>724136192
shouldve paid a huge streamer 10k to play it
>>
>>724136432
Does it take place at school

If you don't want to talk about your game why do you make a thread every day

is this it op?
>>
>>724136793
No, it's not
>>
>I've made a soulful kinogem
>may I see it?
>n-no
there you have it OP, no wonder your game didnt sell, you dont even want to show it
>>
>>724137016
He would be banned if he linked it because it would be advertising though.
>>
>>724137090
he wont even drop any hints other than its a shooter of some sorts which doesnt narrow it down at all
>>
>>724137090
there are multiple indie games that are shilled here, sometime by the dev himself, with little to no consequences. The worst example is the onirism retard(s), at least they keep to their threads I guess
>>
>>724137206
>with little to no consequences.
There is a big risk of the anti-indie schizo taking notice and making literally every single thread about the game unusable. It's not worth the risk considering the indies that do shill here don't sell much either way.
>>
>>724137090
We should pretend to be OP and shill other people's games to cuck the OP out of his thread.
>>
>>724137346
>We should pretend to be OP
Well you don't have to pretend to be a faggot, since you already are.
>>
>>724136192
You cried in the dev thread already and the last 50, dramafag
>>
>>724137290
as I was saying, dont blame gamers for buying friendslop streamer bait trash if you cant even muster the balls to post a link in a thread with 3-4 active posters and 10x lurkers max. no one knows your game exists because hundred of games are released every day and you're too ashamed of your work to show it to people.
>>
>>724137290
any publicity is good publicity
>>
>>724137669
>any publicity is good publicity
It sure worked out well for Concord, Mind's Eye, Dustborn...
>>
>>724138070
actually yes it worked in their favor but they needed way more publicity to try to offset $500m
>>
>>724136192
>soulful kinogem
>posts the frog
you didnt make anything
>>
>>724138070
So what you're saying is, you made a Concord-like? Is it a Bazz fangame?
>>
>>724138215
yes when he said shoot in the face he meant jizz
>>
>>724136287
Pepe was 4chancore while you were still in diapers.
>>
>>724136432
based The House of the Dead cloner
>>
>OP tries to be passive aggressive to shill his game
>completely forgets about shilling the game and starts sucking dicks like a faggot
Many such cases, sad!
>>
>>724136287
ong i made that pepe
>>
>>724136192
if you made your game with the goal of being commercially successful then you did not, in any capacity, make kino

ok
>>
>>724136192
Tell me what it is now so I can pirate it
>>
The best way to shil it OP is to astroturf it, ie pretend to be a normal user. Make a thread saying "Wow I found this lil indie soulful kinogem, I'm having a blast"
>>
>>724141816
Or even better, make a thread saying "I'm looking for soulful indie kinogems, any reccomendations?" Then pretend to reply to yourself.
>>
>>724141708
I checked, it's not on any piracy sites. You're out of luck.
>>
>>724141992
Or even more betterer, make a post pretending that you hate it - "I'm sick of indie slop like this piece of shit" and then contrarianism kicks in
>>
>>724136192
all you had to do was post your game......
>>
>NOBODY KNOWS MY GAME AHHHHHHHHHHH
>hello what is your game, hello
>I WILL NOT TELL YOU
>oh ok, hello
>SIGHHHH WHY DOES NOBODY CARE ABOUT MY SOULFUL KINO GAME? GOD I HATE THE WORLD
>>
>>724136290
true now fuck off
>>
>>724136192
nobody cares about your 2d platformer bro
>>
threads been up for 4 hours and OP still hasn't posted the game
safe to say, there never was a game
>>
>>724136192
Oh no, you'll have to resort to taking things up the ass to pay the bills now.
>>
>>724136192
streamerbait friendslop isn't guaranteed success either, you need to learn marketing above all else
identify a viable userbase, create a game that suits their needs, and promote it explicitly to them
this is the only strategy that works, regardless of the genre or game details
most indie devs fail to do this, they think marketing is as simple as making a couple tweets and hoping for the best
no, not true
marketing is a very thorough process, that i believe most people fail to truly grasp
learn marketing if you want money
make art if you want to make art
separate your passion for art from your desire for profit
