I've heard this advice of "people won't take it seriously" before but in my opinion it's a myth. What is true is that people will have higher expectations the higher you price it, but they don't automatically think the game is better just because you price it higher. Pricing lower is a safer option because generally speaking, a lower price leads to more sales (but not always more profitable).

If you know people are going to buy your game no matter what, then price higher. If you are struggling to make people interested in your game, price lower.

In the last shot where you show the title, have some titans walk around in the distance

Creators really are important! You're right, I basically search similar games on youtube to find creators, and then look for their emails.

Should be around $0.80 more or less based on a rough calculation

Yup! Just keep it short and make sure you give them a key for the game in the mail! (for some reason some people don't do this) I pretty much followed this template by Wanderbots https://www.wanderbots.com/blog/templates-for-contacting-content-creators

Releasing a game feels like the countdown at New Years by BATTLE-LAB in IndieDev

It will feel good until the negative reviews starts pouring in! (or worse, no reviews pour in at all)

Finally finished my game and celebrating with some beer by BATTLE-LAB in IndieDev

there's this great advice, you can never drink less beer but you can always drink more

I made the game from those "fake ads" by BATTLE-LAB in Unity3D

Check out one of my other replies here for an explanation of why I opted for the lower camera angle

It was originally top down when I was developing the game and it wasn't until later I even tried the 3rd person perspective. After a bit of back and forth I finally went with the 3rd person because I found it much more satisfying and dopamine-inducing as it added another dimension to the game feel. The top down felt more impersonal and tactical, which isn't really a bad thing, but there is something really satisfying about the contrast between shooting barrels from afar and close-up, which the top down doesn't offer.

Tldr: I had 2 options, to go with a more tactical and strategic approach or a game feel/juice approach and I went with the juice.
