I'm Starting To Fall Off (Again)

Hi WorldStudios,

Did you by chance read this topic? How can I get plays? I think specifically the first few replies address a problem that is very similar to yours.

The majority of users in this forum try to develop their own games. They may be gamers themselves and they are probably interested in the projects of others using Gdevelop, but my guess is that most of them are not the audience for promoting your game.
This is a common problem that you can see in many game developer forums and some defend the idea to promote a game to fellow game developers. But imho this is a very ineffective way to build a real audience for your game.

I read most of your posts and I am always amazed by your enthusiasm for your games but I wondered many times, why you expect that people who just happen to use the same tool as you want to engage deeply in the details of your game and decide about its mechanics etc. You should (also) do this in places where the majority of users are gamers, preferably those who are interested in the kind of game you are developing.

I haven’t played your game so I cannot give any specific feedback. Generally, you need to have something that catches the interest of people, something they want to spend their precious time on. There are tons of good games out there and you have to convince them somehow that they should try yours instead. Just because you put a lot of effort into your game does not guarantee you any interest.

Don’t get disappointed by the low engagement with your game in this forum. Make something you like, have fun making it and if you feel you have really something to show, do it in the right places. You can absolutely do it.
