I think it's important that you make axu more popular. I only found out about this game because I watched a Let's Play video by a youtuber (nookrium). Maybe you could ask some youtubers to play the game to get more fans (they don't need to be big youtubers). I think this would also motivate you to work on the game

I haven't done much advertisement due to the fact that Axu is still not close to completion. There are three YouTubers who are continuing series, or done some videos on the game, an amount I am happy with for now. Development has been slow recently due to life going off the rails, but I hope to release 0.5 soon once I've ironed out the rest of my bug list. Motivation has never been a problem for me, just lack of hours in a day. If you know any other content creators, I think it looks better to not have the developer suggest they look at a game. :)
