Hi! (this is my first post so if there’s any mistakes, I’m sorry)
I’m a small developer (I know, there are a lot of “small developers”). I’ve worked on a few games with my team, including two passion projects. One of those games, Death Wheel, was doing really well, I even got #3 when you searched up the game name. It was all great—until Death Penalty came along and took over the genre, causing my game to lose momentum and fall off.
(it now sits at 11k visits)
I also had an old gun game with a system from a friend (not sure where he got it), and I decided to use it for an old game I made called Combat Battlegrounds Reborn, but I gave it a new name and theme: Classic Battlefield Reloaded, with a classic style twist. Despite my efforts, it’s still not gaining traction.
I’ve tried advertising, followed advice, and more. Each time I do sponsored ads, my games do great on the first day, but interest drops off immediately afterward. My team and I even made a brainrot-style line game and promoted it, but it didn’t go anywhere either.
At this point, I’m feeling pretty discouraged and struggling to stay motivated, And I’m pretty sure my team is too. I’d love some solid advice on how to turn things around.
