Most indie games fail—not because they’re bad, but because no one knows they exist. 3 quick ways to get more eyes on your game: 👀 Be active in gaming communities 🎥 Post short-form video 📣 Get others talking: run a giveaway or collab #IndieGameDev #GameMarketing #IndieDev

Launching a Kickstarter in 2025? Here’s what no one tells you: 1️⃣ Wishlists don’t equal backers. 2️⃣ Your campaign video matters more than you think. 3️⃣ Engagement > Ads. Kickstarter is about community, not just funding. Got questions? We wanna hear them.

Finally taking some time to go through this Corvian Marketing template. As a dev with no marketing background, it helps me realize what I don’t know.

Todays spicy 🌶️ #ttrpg take is that, despite what you might think, these three things are not the same: 1) Your game is well written. 2) Your game is easy to sell. 3) Your game plays well at the table. There’s some overlap for sure. But the world is full of badly written games that people love.
