[NEWS] more difficult to promote a game than create it ...
Added 2025-04-29 06:16:37 +0000 UTCWell i have to say that i was really happy to get back for you guys into making game again, i think this is what i always put first in this patreon , my games creations is what made me start all this , and till today i really enjoying it, but now i have to be really chill on my games development when i see that posting the game on some sites is not enough anymore , i can't get any real traffic if all the site are so slow to publish my games , this is a really big problem because it slow my game success , even people give me positive feedbacks , i feel like it's becoming impossible to get a good traffic just to get people play a fun game, in the past i never have this problem i was just making the game and get always people coming to me even to promote it on their sites , i think about the early days of VR and android games and PC, now it's like it becoming a hustle to have a game publish , even have some plateform closing without any notice , i mean all the stable plateform are really hard on developers , tell them to wait more than 2 months and more to get a new game visible , being a indie developer becoming really hard all those sites want a finish product who get already tested multiple times but never think that we are a small team or just one guy behind a project and cannot do that amount of work in such a small time, so i'm saying all that to say that if i don't get my games publish in a more healthier way it will be hard for me to continue doing things for you guys and i don't even talk about the money who is way harder to generate , i mean now in 2025 you have to build a team around your game if you want to get a successful project , or just being so marketing focus that you need to make a bad unfinish game with just a lot of marketing , things that sucks if you truly want to make fun good games...
So to be honest my projects short movies and games cannot be finish most of the time because the marketing part is becoming horrible with all those controlling stuff in the back, for example i put my game on spicygaming and when i was ready to have this stable plateform publish a lot of my games , i just get notice that the store will be closing soon next month , this is how you have to deal those days cannot find a stable plateform anymore and try to build your own plateform you will get big companies try to shut it down for you really quick ...
