Is there any way to get my game popular without any money?
if so please tell me the methods, it would help alot
Hello! I have also given this some thought earlier, and here are some breadcrumbs of advice:
-
You can work with a composer. In my project, I also plan to work with a composer not only for the skill that they have but also because they have 2k subs. They are semi-popular and that makes it perfect because they will mostly not ask for much payment (it is still very recommended to pay them a proper amount though!). Just ask them to upload the OST they made for your game on yt and or other sites. (Yes, I know, it’s not a free way, but still worth knowing)
-
Upload videos. This one is pretty self explanatory. Upload dev logs, updates, maybe even gameplay. These videos could get you even hundreds of views, and many of those people will definetly check out your game, giving you a good headstart! (I found out about a really cool horror game which had next to zero players like this. Guess what? The game is called “The Intruder” and it has thousands of players now.)
-
Find other people who could have an interest in your game. For example, if you want to make a horror game, go play Doors, make some friends and then recommend them your game. They’ll be likely to check it out if it looks good. This’ll give you a good headstart. (Headstart I mean 10-20 players, which gives a chance for your game to go viral.)
