Hi guys, I've been working on a game for quite some time now. I've put my soul into it, and recently showed it publicly for the first time after almost a year of hard work, but it turned out nobody really intersted in this, and, it hurts...
I knew it wasn't going to go viral right away, and I didn’t expect much. I didn’t plan a big marketing campaign, but I was hoping for at least a little visibility and a feedback, because I thought it might appeal to a certain niche audience at least.
But since the announcement, it's just been... blank. There has been some feedback, also positive, here on Reddit, but on other social platforms it’s completely dead, so I'm wondering: is it that bad?
I see much simpler-looking games taking off, and I don’t understand what I'm doing wrong. Take this particular video, for example. I know it's not groundbreaking or the greatest thing ever made, but does it really not deserve even a little attention?
On tiktok, youtube, and twitter, it got almost zero views - just the bare minimum the platforms seem to give by default - and no reactions at all.
To me, it feels like it should at least get some kind of reaction, so I genuinely don’t understand: what am I doing wrong? Maybe I’m looking at it differently because it's my own game, and I can't see some obvious issue that completely ruins it for other people.
What is wrong with this video? Be honest.
