Don't be defensive.
I know you can do it.
I believe in you
You read the documentation.
This is the start.
The funny irony is, you can do it advertisement like this project.
See this is the right category you got it it right. (this is how algorithm works, this is how other people see it. Look analytics, even if its small)
People DO CARE, they're CURIOUS.
Even though they're NOT TELLING YOU DIRECTLY. They're clicking you.
They say you need put 90% of effort. To get "famous". (but in reality, they're trying to do LURE you in, clickbait)
But I say, once you post on internet it stays. (exceptsome files mostly)
Even if its just a little, it matters.
One (without even thinking, that's really damn good) project can do popular. even later. (it just needs some time, that's how algorithm works & people mood)
The project has to be INVESTED in. (no matter how big it is)
You need to be ENTERTAINER on social media, example like Twitch, Youtube,..
It needs an effort. Of course you need to find a balance in your life at your OWN pace. (And figure it out their system/algorithm, cause its quite fast, it can quickly drain you away. (that's why they have cute pets on internet, ecosystem)
I recommend you read the Steamworks Documentation & SteamDB.
Small steps.
