Wow, thanks Jamnade! :D
Contacting streamers occurred to me too, especially as I'm getting closer to completing my next jam game. Is there a specific site where you can find these streamers, or is it more a research project on the developer's end?
Feedback for my projects would be awesome, as I've just started working on itch. I'd love to do the same if you're an active developer.
Seriously, thanks for the reply! It was exactly what I deeded!
I think Twitch would be a great place. You can also DM (Direct Message) streamers and/or email them. Before you contact a streamer, see what content they post, if they post the content your game has, they are more likely to play your game. Email them individually, don't copy and paste an email to multiple streamers. Patience is needed, as streamers often get many emails and it could take a while for them to get yours. Also, make sure to proofread your email before you send it. If a streamer does not respond to your email, don't pester them, move on. Make to get to know the streamer first individually before you send them a thumbnail of your game. Make sure the thumbnail is intriguing, as it will be easier for a streamer to use an eye-catching thumbnail for the video they are doing about your game. Also, thank you for being willing to give feedback if I post a future game. Another thing, I would love to know some tips and tricks for Unity, as I see you use that engine as well. Thank you! One last thing, I have a post that for this question that I had been wondering https://itch.io/blog/988061/how-do-i-make-a-game-a-lot-of-people-will-appreciate
All great advice! I'd love to help you get on your feet with unity; I'm self taught as of about 3 years and a ton of YouTube, so I definitely would like to help out. I don't know if itch has a built in dm feature, but you can also find me on discord for some first steps.
Thanks for the time! See you probably on the other thread.
