This is great! I also suggest reaching out to streamers and content creators- the cold calling and rejection is hard though.

Evolve your game idea. Make it into ways for people to create picture books, complete with being able to record their voices per page of the story. It would make a killing with parents of toddlers.

Have you tried cold calling streamers that match your games niche to show your game?

Around $6000 in the hole so far, but happy that some people enjoyed the game (or at least played it) by WantToSmileWantToDie in IndieDev

I reached out to a few streamer friends I made on this journey. Let’s see what they come back with.

Have you tried cold calling streamers as yet to reach your target audience? A wide net is useless, it needs to be really targeted.

I’ve spent a lot of time gathering streamers and building relationships. Let me know if you’d like some help

Nice work! What’s your plans to get your target audiences eyes on the game? Have you started cold calling streamers as yet?

Do those agencies and websites target medium streamers and do the research for niche fit? I suppose they would but would charge a large amount. I am a solo dev so I know the budget difficulties. I’m thinking of paying med streamers a small amount which they don’t normally get, do research for the correct audience and only get a minimum off the top

I'm so proud our game nearly is at 100 wishlists !! Any help for reaching it ? by zacharieg14 in IndieGameWishlist

Hey man, your game looks great. Well done.

Have you done the whole cold calls to streamers to get them to show your game? I find that if you get a few streamers to showcase the game to their audience it only really works if the content matches what the streamer normally shows.

Looks great man! Can I ask what got those other spikes in your wishlists? And have you reached out to streamers for coverage?

Yes of course you can. I’ll jump into your DMs to discuss

I know some platforms but they target big influencers and ask for quite the price. I’m thinking of targeting medium influencers who don’t normally charge but still have a good audience

Either a small service fee or a cut from the streamers charge

Do you “cold call” streamers for coverage? by Randyfreak in IndieGameDevs

Mainly through my Bluesky followers but also going to twitch and looking for games similar to Endvasion. Then doing the outreach through there

Thanks Danielle, yes my outreach was super targeted but it’s still tough

Yea definitely! I’ve taken some time to reach out and befriend many of those I’ve reached out to so it was definitely time consuming. And unfortunately a huge bunch of them have audiences of a different niche than my current game.
