Ideas to get my game more visits

Hello guys, I’ve been redeveloping my geography game called “EU Flags” after a year of shutting down and being extremely demotivated but now that I am going back to it, I need some advice on how to get it more out there. First of all, it’s a game about the European Union including the flags of all the countries in the union, and also key geographical information about the European Union as well as other interesting things. My game currently has 9,211 visits, but a problem I have is that players don’t come back to my game.

I would appreciate if anyone has any advice on how to tackle this as well as getting my game out to a broader audience. I want this game to be successful as I think it has a lot of potential. If you have any ideas about features that can get my players to consistently replay my game, I will take note of it and I kindly appreciate it!

Is you’re game like a map game? No action?

It’s a showcase game, but I want to transform that, so something with action would be cool

Share it on social media, sponsor it with a high budget, make videos about your game and upload it to youtube (optional). Maybe it will be popular. Who knows :smiley:

Reason why people ain’t coming back is that… it’s just a showcase game as you mentioned, maybe try like select country and spawn to it, and add melee to cause actions

6

this guys right, maybe open it back up once youve added more things to it

I’m sure you’re aware that people aren’t coming back for the very reason it is a showcase, there isn’t usually much more to see after playing them once, that’s what a showcase is for.

So, you of course need an incentive for players to keep on exploring which would bring them back.

For this type of game it sounds like it would be hard to implement as I’m not sure what sort of incentive could be incorporated into a geography showcase, so I can’t really think of anything that makes sense off the top of my head.

But, as I mentioned before I imagine the best route to follow would be something to do with motivating players to keep on exploring countries. Perhaps a way to visit specific landmarks for each country and collect photos, stamps, or postcards?
Badges would be a good implementation too, though not too easy to get or players may feel like they’ve completed something before they actually have.

Best of luck :+1:

Also, I recommend adding these following:

1- first person view

2- stores and shops to buy items or weapons

3- buy pets like dogs (make a topic if your having trouble) and let the dog attack anyone you want.
