OK, I got my first game close to ready:
How do I get my first batch of players so that I can see if my game will perform well?
All game feedback welcome too!

I guess the only way is paying for Ads?

Nope, your best bet is getting YouTubers or content creators to play it.
Making short form content about the game helps as well.

You can pay for ads, but try to make a more vibrant thumbnails. Like RocketSlither said, you should try to make content.

Honestly, I haven’t played the game yet but you should try to advertise your game in Discord servers and group walls for tycoons. And like the comment above has said, get content creators to play it. Once the game has a steady player count of 10-30 you could probably start to ad on Roblox with the revenue you’ve made.

Problem is I don’t have anything to buy yet, I first wanted to know if players like the game and stick around.
Where do I find these and specific Tycoon Discords?
You should ask your friends (but tell them to be honest) or ask some random people to play it, then tell them to give you feedback.
I really like it, though I think it’s very slow-paced.
You should finish most of the game before getting people to play, then worry about the players.

Yes, that is the case, the core features are there and I have enough content for around 30 minutes. I can keep expanding forever but I want to see if the core mechanics are appreciated before putting more effort into the content. I have art, currencies, progression, multiplayer, pets, toys.

I ran an ads campaign for an hour and already found a few interesting things. Stopped it and am going to see what the metrics look like.
57K impressions generated 215 plays, gonna see if thosde are healthy numbers or not. But I ma really interested to see what people did and for how long did they stay.

I decided to make the game 6-players as I htink that is the moment where bragging rights make most sense if I want to monetize some cosmetics.
I have not had any luck trying Tycoon groups, the only ones I find are already tied to other games, I couldn’t find a group that just loves and plays tycoon games. Any ideas?
