More than a year of development, and only 200 wishlists on Steam… How can I make my game more popular?
Hi!
I've been working on my game for over a year now and plan to release it at the end of February. I've felt like giving up many times during development and faced a lot of disappointment. But I've never been as disheartened as I am now, looking at the number of wishlists on Steam. How do people even promote their games?
I've tried posting videos about it on TikTok and YouTube, but they don't even get 300 views. And I make genuinely informative videos, where I talk about the game in my own voice.
My game is called Painted Legend: Knights of Ink & Paper. I’ve categorized it as a platformer with metroidvania elements. I've put an enormous amount of time into drawing the characters and detailed environments. I just want as many people as possible to talk about my game. I just want them to play it and say something like, "Wow, this moment is awesome!"
Maybe I'm too attached to the old-school video game era and don’t understand current trends. This is my first time posting on Reddit.
