How to get covered by IGN – How To Market A Game Feel Confident marketing your game

I have no personal experience with this but I can share a blog post where devs cold emailed press editors on Chris Zukowski's "How To Market a Game" blog. A social media person can better assist you. I don't know anyone off the top of my head. howtomarketagame.com/2022/11/10/h...

"I want to support indie creators, but I dont have the money for it."

Good news! Support is not at all limited to financial contributions!

Give that book a glowing review.

Invite your friends to play that cool game.

Hoot and holler about how much you love that movie.

Hype the good shit up!

2. The genre suggestions that Steam usually defaults to was not helpful in my experience. It just served me games off a niche tag based off games I’ve been playing such as “dystopian” or “post apocalypse“. I was served toilet humor games from the “dystopian” tag

1. There’s so many games and it was also very difficult to find games that I’d be interested in.
I had the best results by just looking at the most played demos which is unfair for any game that’s doesn’t have a huge community behind them.

💡Hey gamedevs, you can add your Bluesky account to your game's Steam page!

A screenshot of the BlueSky app accessibility settings with a green arrow pointing to a toggle labelled Require alt text before posting.

So, if you're an indie dev or pixel artist who follows me, I have a humble request: If you are able to type image descriptions, please turn on the setting below. I *love* sharing your work, but will generally never do so if it lacks alt text. We all deserve an accessible internet. This will help.

i was wondering why none of the jp/kr artists i followed recently were showing up in my feeds and it's because of this -_- ... turned it off and now everything's showing up 😬

Back by unpopular demand - me.

With another starter pack. This is *specifically* for game dev studio accounts, not personal accounts.

Hi Bluesky!
My name is Sen and I’m currently an indie game dev. Previously, I was working as a UI software engineer in marketing tech.

I’m interested in seeing cool creative stuff and the people behind them. My favorite media are TLOU, God of War, Life is Strange, Hannibal, and Andor

Made a starter pack of pixel artists I recommend following! You can follow them all with 1 button!
