You will live to see a failed comedian podcast run for president and win. The leader of an entire country will have done an ad for bluechew.

It should be clear by now that anyone vocal about Ukraine but silent on Palestine doesn’t consider brown people human.

If disco elysium was allowed on a console platform do you really think their are content restrictions in what you can make as a games artist? Answer: no

Had our first public demo of Penguin Colony today! Think it went well! We noticed a few things about how players played. Also had a very long sit with someone from Nintendo. Will do a video about it.

Not an ad but I also use a scheduler called OneUp. Which allows you to schedule a “season” of posts which will keep ticking on for weeks. Also gives you ideal posting hours etc. save a ton of time for $7 a month. 1 hour not spent making game ads up.

We are so ungrateful for having our family members murdered and being introduced to beans on toast

Try to see how games like Elite Dangerous were tagged on Steam. go to the reddit of ED or other space games and politely show your game within the rules of the sub. So yeah #SpaceSim #Space #OpenWorld etc

Repeat old content. Not everyone saw it the first time. If it was good no one minds seeing it again

Veselekov @veselekov.bsky.social · 4d

Then once you are done you go through those 8 categories again

Veselekov @veselekov.bsky.social · 4d

here is the strategy I use. Make 8 content types and cycle through them. not guaranteed but here is a type which would work for any game. Make a post these things
- game mechanic
- character
- level
- behind the scenes
- gameplay (just anything)
- showing how you bug fix
- vibes
- screenshot

TikTok has been okay for us. But it takes a while to build momentum

You should be posting about your game on as many platforms as possible. TikTok and Reddit (communities similar to your games look theme) as a very least

Eternal #indiedev reminder.
Only game developers will see your game tagged with #indiedev and #gamedev tags. Use tags specific to your games look, mood and genre so that players find your game.
