I’m dealing with the same challenge right now with Gilded Dominion, my browser-based economy and strategy game.
We’ve tried YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Discord and reaching out to creators. Getting views isn’t necessarily the hardest part — turning those views into actual players is.
I have to give itch.io credit though. So far, it has been one of the few places that has actually brought us real traffic and testers, which is incredibly valuable for a game still in Alpha.
I’m following this discussion too. Hopefully we can all learn a few things from each other!
