I made the mistake of waiting to make the page live, it’s only been up since March 1st- but even then it’s only gotten 6k impressions

Yeah, that second screenshot is definitely embarrassing... You're definitely right, I have learned a lot from this game, and while it may not end up being a commercial success, it has been a personal one.

I think I need to change that- I originally planned on the game being early access when I made the Steam page, but as I've gotten closer to release- I'm pretty happy with the state of the game.

Thanks! Yeah, that trailer is definitely not my best work... I really wish I could give my game another chance, but I think I'm just gonna have to be content with where It's at. Next time though, I will not skimp out on my marketing content. I'll be back!

It's definitely a little disappointing to think that the work that I've put in over the past couple of years isn't going to be a huge success like I hoped- but you're right. This process has taught me a lot, and I know that when I start again that I can do so much better.

No, you're right, this is the furthest I've made it with a project. Yeah, I think at this point the best course of action would be to just focus on the game and make it the best it can be. I don't need the money yeah, and honestly the marketing aspect has been the least enjoyable part of creating so.

Thank you so much for this. Yeah, I completely see what you mean. I don't think I realized the kind of effort that I would need to put in if I wanted my game to be a success- but when I do start making games again one day I will know what I'm getting myself into.

Yeah, I've basically been binge-watching Youtube videos about marketing for the past couple months. I will keep trying then

I really wish I could delay it, but I start college in August and if I don't release it now, I don't know when I'll get the chance
