Get people to play.

You need to understand that this is something you have to do. Noone will find your game by themselves, given how loud the world is we live in.

Promote it, write to influencers, do everything you can.

The best thing to do is leave things that stay behind for a long time and basically bring in people even long after you have forgotten about it.

Think of it as planting 1000 baits in various places that at some point add up.

Completely true. I try to post something somewhere about my game at least once a week, that helps bring little spikes in views, but has never gotten me a download. One thing that I find interesting is how some of my older games that were university projects and unfinished got so much more exposure even though I never did anything other than publish it here, some of them are 6-7 years old and still get plays, while my latest game, which I consider to be my first finished game, has no traction even though I did alot in terms of advertisement through multiple mediums and websites. Don't take this as me being bitter about it, I just find that interesting; sometimes the tides are simply not in your favour and thats okay, you just need to keep trying. Thanks for the advice!
