That’s actually great, having the Discord already set up gives you a solid foundation.
With Steam Next Fest coming up this month, I’m curious how you’re planning to use the event to get more players discovering and trying the game. Are you already working on a promotion plan for it, or would you be open to a few suggestions?
The reason I ask is that Next Fest can be a strong visibility opportunity, especially if the game is being actively pushed before and during the event. I’d focus on:
• Promoting the game across relevant gaming communities and Discords
• Creating short-form videos that highlight the strongest parts of the game
• Driving interested players toward your Steam page and demo
• Using your Discord to turn interested players into an active community
• Sharing updates, clips, event reminders and demo content consistently
• Encouraging players to try the demo, join the Discord and follow the game
• Keeping the momentum going after Next Fest instead of letting the attention drop
Your Discord can actually become the place where all that traffic is converted into a community around the game.
If you’re open to suggestions, I can also take a look at what you already have planned for Next Fest and point out a few things I’d improve.
