Thank you! I have two other games and this has never happened! I was still a newbie then. I took my time making this one. I hope people enjoy it : )
Well, I'm glad this one is gaining lots of interest for you! It looks like a cool game!
I have my first game called "Enso" in the Steam Next Fest right now, so fingers crossed I'll be able to gain a little traction too! Do you have any tips on how to promote your game without feeling like a scumbag? I hate the "salesman" type feeling I get from talking about my game online 😅
It is very much NOT scumbag to make posts on some different gaming Lemmy communities and just say like “I’m making my first game, Enso, and it’s being featured in the Steam Next Fest!” then just describe it, post some screenshots, maybe talk about what it was like to develop it if you feel like it, and pop a linky to that bad boi! That’s what OP did and I find none of his posts annoying or anything. I wishlisted it right away cuz he talked about being super inspired by The Stanley Parable.
Thank you for the encouragement! I'm going to save this post and come back and read it next time I'm scared about annoying people ❤️
If you make a post about it, link me here if you remember! When I’m at my compy again, I’ll have my partner and I wishlist yours too!
