How would i grow a multiplayer game?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to grow my multiplayer game.

  2. What is the issue? Include enough details if possible!
    The main issue are these:
    A. I don’t have a guaranteed player base, as this is my first game.
    B. Even though solo play is an option, playing with more people would probably be more fun.

  3. What solutions have you thought of so far?
    None, i made this post in advance while I’m creating the game.

If you want to grow a multi player game then you need your game to be fun when play with friends and others. You can add some benefit mechanic for players who prefer solo in the game. You can do advertisements or promote yourself on social media if you so concern about not having players, it not that hard nowadays. Getting people to play is easy but it is keeping them that is hard to achieve.

Depends on the type of game, you can try appeal your game to a certain audience or the general public via social media, especially places like tiktok. Roblox ads can work but they’re expensive and unguaranteed to bring a solid playerbase. You really want to cater to the audience of your game, make it not repetitive and easily made boring, but have aspects in the game that make it enjoyable even if it’s only occasionally playing.

Like I said however it depends on the type of game you’re making.

In your opinion, are ads or sponsors better?
