Is this a good marketing strategy?

Hey the name is powerdud and I’ve just been recently added to the dev forum as a member so I may not be all that great. I’m creating a game called DICE which is a rpg game that focuses on the player traveling around the map gaining items,levels doing quest, etc. (we’ve all played rpg games before) right now I have 4k robux and i’m planning on advertising and releasing the game soon.
Here’s how I plan on doing that:

  1. I have a discord with 45 members and a few testers that are willing to test my game so that there are no bugs

  2. Once testing it over I’ll use external sites such as discord,reddit and twitter to spread my game.

  3. I’ll also be putting 1600 robux in ads on Saturday and Sunday. 600 for a skyscraper and another 600 for a sponsored game.

  4. I’ll do this for one week and see how well I did if it worked well then I’ll use this stategy again on future version of my game.

–Extra info you might wanna know

  1. My goal is to get atleast 10-50 concurrent members playing my game
  2. My gamepasses aren’t heavily needed. Their just animation packs that change the players running and walking anim.
  3. I have a discord server with 45 members.

Now what I hope you guys can do if give me anything that I should add to that list that might improve my chances of reaching my goal. Or even thing that I should take off. Last time I tried advertising I put all my robux in one ad which wasn’t good. If there is anything more than you want to know just tell me.

                                                          Regards, powerdud

Advertisments

I would say that is a good marketing way to go, adverts is the best thing to do mostly if you have a decent ammount of robux and you want to powerfully boost your game. As soon as you release adverts you have to counter in some things.

  • Have a good development team to keep the game posted with updates around every 1-2 weeks.

  • Keep the community active and friendly.

Keep on doing these things otherwise you may waste your robux and only make a bit of profit.

I hope this post helped! I will be visiting your game to see how it has come along :slight_smile:

All I can say: Great!

People say do 50K+ robux on ads but I as a tiny developer only have like 500 robux.

Thanks, I’ll definitely start keeping my discord team a lot more informed on the games progress.

If advertisements don’t work out for you, there are sponsors. Sponsoring tablets on the weekend seems to be the best strategy for me so far, lol.

I hope to see your game on the front page one day :smiley:

I say start building a community and start building hype around your game. Then once you release the game it’ll explode and people will be playing it a ton.

Personally I don’t like the idea of hyping a game. Cause it’s basically like adding all your robux into one ad. Sure it blows up but after a day or two it’s nobody plays it.

I like this idea but, only pc players can actually play my game. So should I actually be using the other devices such as tablets,phones,consoles,etc.
