added my game to indie DB
dropped a special release to newgrounds (they have their own api that supports cloud saves leader boards and achievements)
added game to my LinkedIn profile /projects (becasue why not? I am not only QA /SET. I am also a game dev as a hobby.)
went to reddit
went to discord (itch and others)

And so far, so bad my games are faring poorly haha. I have very low visibility. Do I care? A bit since I have invested my time in that (8 months for Steel Abyss).

But I never expected to earn even a penny from them, are released for free.

I got similar case of loosing a game but different circumstances. But it has to do with Unity. I have worked on a tank game for half a year. It was supposed to be 3d battle city sort of.

But then my life did a flip and I didn’t have time to work on it anymore.

Few years passed and my life was steady enough to come back to writing games.

And idiot of me I haven’t checked out that unity have phased out their cloud saves and ad integration… So eventually my whole game got corrupted and no amount of time and prying that crap out helped. I had to abandon it. I also abandoned Unity for Phaser.
