How would I build a playerbase?

Hello fellow devforum users! I am making a game and just realized, how the heck would I build a playerbase? A playerbase(for me at least) is around 10-20 cc players that you can grow off of. But how would I get those players in the first place? All help is appreciated!

Correct me if this is in the wrong category.

You will have to post appealing content on social media platforms such as:

  • Youtube
  • Twitter (X)
  • TikTok

and more I can’t remember.

I highly recommend posting on TikTok since it is by far the most popular and renowned social media app as of now. You’ll have to catch up with concurrent trends and try to gain an audience by posting content that follows those trends.

I would also join communities and form a reputation by making as many social connections as you can. Communication is your priority! You will have a better chance of gaining a reputation if you insert yourself into discussions.

What type of game is it? You could probably get some success with a video devlog on YouTube

It’s a samurai based simulator game. Don’t worry I’ll add other things to make it a little more unique and original rather than the average simulator.

Don’t come at me for making a simulator lol
