      At the end of the day it still needs to be a good game. I feel like he failed to address the fact that if you're not seeing any interest while marketing it means the game is unmarketable.

    So those are essentially just tips how to propagade your mediocre copy-paste-like game to be pseudo-popular, by abusing steam wishlisting? I'm not trageting Dark Deity specifically, but most indie games that would use such tactics are exactly like this, just copy what works for others and apply to your unoriginal game idea.
    Sadly this makes true passion projects that try to be original and innovative to fall short and recieve almost no attention in comparison of games that everybody will forget about in a few months and that gave nothing new into game industry (or how to call it). Can't imagine someone willingly associate their passion project to some cringe like TikTok just to gain attention.

    It breaks my heart how many games i consider shitty and not worth a minute gets a huge attention, when my amazing game almost didn't receive any attention, its really strange how other indie developers get so much success on stupid boring games

    • @Sarmachus
      @Sarmachus 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don’t think that is a good attitude to have, but I suppose I understand where you’re coming from.
      You’ve made me curious now. What is your game? Can you share a link?

    • @Sarmachus
      @Sarmachus 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @UC4e9BHBx5czXN2twpz-hlGw I checked it out. It seems decent, but is a niche genre I haven’t played/I’m not attached to. And no matter the genre, I likely wouldn’t buy it because of the price alone due to a perceived lack of quality. This may seem silly, but I think is a known psychological behavior in pricing vs quality.
      If I ever make a game, I think I’ll aim for a price in the range from $18-25 before doing anything else.
      I think videos like this one show just how important marketing and branding are. The game mentioned was based on Fire Emblem after all.
      Anyway, good luck to you in the future,
      I hope you can find your success.

      @@Sarmachus i actually did that when i released the game on android, it was like 15$ or so, i dont remember the exact price, but it did not sell good, so when i released it on steam i lowered the price just to see if it would sell better on a lower price
