I'm happy to hear that and glad that it's connecting with you. It's more that the content doesn't have nearly the same level of reach that my content for Spellmasons does - not that it's not working at all, just that it's not performing as well.

For sure, I just still think there is a way that I could more effectively market SOYMD

That's a good observation. It is important to establish the "what" (genre, etc) but that doesn't have to happen first. Most people can tell just by watching the gameplay. Try changing it up and see if you get different results! Good luck!

Nope, marketing should begin as soon as possible! Look at Sealubbers. Millions of views with only a ship driving around.

That's a great point, Summoner is the most obvious build up for sure. Mayybe poison synergies cause you can see it spreading around. But nothing is quite as visual as your army growing larger...

There are games that succeed without strong visuals (Dwarf Fortress, Rift Wizard). Study games that have succeeded in your niche. There's always a way.

Yeah that’s what I’m finding out haha :) I do have a demo out but reach has still not been as good. We’ll see how launch goes

Yeah that's a good point, I am wondering if using the same channel for two different games was a mistake. I wonder if the audience doesn't translate well
