Congratulations of winning! Reading what you wrote and how you promoted your game really shows that you thought outside of the box. Many of us just focus on promoting online and forget to approach people in real life. Obviously we all don't have the opportunities to visit game stores for example but it's a good to keep in mind.
I watched a let's play of your game and I started to wonder if you have an account in like Twitter or something, so that I could follow the development of your game. What will you do for this game in the future?
Viewing post in CreAPTIVE Heart - Chapter I
Hey, thanks a lot for commenting ^^
To be honest, I wouldn't recomend approaching people in real life. We did it out of naivety, thinking that people who work with games, around games, would actually like games and show interest in our work - Spoiler: most of them didn't, which is understandable... But then again, there's only one way of learning and we had to try... I managed to gain at least 1 vote per day, but the amount of "I'll take a look later", "I just work here, I don't play games", "Sure, give me the name of the game and I'll look it up when I get home"... it can really break one's spirit - you gotta be prepared to face rejection and find strength to keep going.
I had a Twitter account years ago, never actually used it for anything other than following Swery65 - Love his Games.
You can find us on Facebook, we created a Page dedicated to CreAPTIVE Heart - we're still small, but every Update will be posted in there (Only portuguese for now, sorry, we still haven't given social media the attention it needs). We are also thinking about building an website, but it may take a while.

For the future, well, Chapters 2 and 3 (each one showing events by a different character's point of view) and a lot of improvements on visuals and sound =)
