What marketing have you done?
1 comments

Not too much, I was hoping I would be able to reach at least 1k downloads organically. But that's not the case at all. To be honest marketing isn't my strong suite.
Mobile gaming is ALL by marketing. If you don't have good marketing it's not going to even reach that many of users. PC Indie gaming is slightly different because of the possibility to build communities.
just ask perplexity or chatgpt or whichever AI provider you want to design a marketing plan for you and follow it.
How much would you invest into marketing this?
I mean, it costs nothing to ask them what to do. It seems like you are searching for your gold mine as opposed to building something cool and being happy with it. Yes sometimes you find gold mines building something cool but most of the time it's a grind to make something from nothing. So I would invest as much as you think you should invest in it and I would probably start with zero dollars by asking perplexity what to do and it will probably tell you to post a dev blog about the game, and post that on socials, and post about the game on socials with gameplay videos, and play the game on twitch so other people see the game. all of that costs zero dollars but lots of time.
