Hello everybody, this month has been a productive month for development. For those who are in the Onslaught discord server, rest assured, testing is soon to begin for the game. But for now I would like to talk about the following topics.
- When will testing begin?
- How will the game be advertised?
- What is the outlook of the game?
- What will these posts be?
When will testing begin?
Testing is something I’ve been trying to get to for a while now, in fact I was already supposed to have gone through the majority of the testing phases by now. Although, the game has been stuck in development due to a lack of motivation on my end. I plan to test the game within the next week.
How will the game be advertised?
I plan on advertising the game mainly by utilizing social media, these are currently ideas and my plan may change over time.
- Social media:
– Devforum updates such as this one
– Twitter Posts
– TikTok / YouTube Shorts posts
Overtime, the hope is that this will allow the game to get a few hundred community members within a couple of weeks after release, and the Roblox algorithm will pick the game up from there. I lack the money to currently advertise the game using any other means.
What is the outlook of the game?
My outlook on the game is mostly optimistic, I will not lie, I am worried though about putting the game in the hands of the Roblox algorithm, seeing the current state of the front page. Despite this, I still have hopes that with a jumpstart from social media posts, given all goes well, the game will be able to pick up some attention. I do not think the game will be an ultra successful front page game but something small, and refreshing.
What will these posts be?
The purpose of these posts is to give monthly updates on what I am doing with the game, as well as sharing analytics of how the game is doing once the game is released. I want to keep the analytics public because I want to reflect on the game’s progress overtime. If the game also grows to a point where fan art or other fan content, or YouTubers making videos on the game, I would also like to highlight them in these monthly posts. Keep in mind, I am not sure if I will end up posting these every month, but I plan to, it really depends on what happens to onslaught.
