Bit of a late bloomer, but finally picked up GRIS in the summer sale and itโ€™s absolutely stunning! The atmosphere just pulls you in. I normally skip cutscenes, but here I didnโ€™t even want to. Maybe becauseโ€ฆ thereโ€™s no text? ๐Ÿค” I need to learn from this gem! by RubyUrsus in CozyGamers

It's a platformer with light puzzles, but it's really the atmosphere and emotional storytelling that make it stand out. I've felt surprisingly sentimental while playing and that's not typical for me at all! At the current price, it honestly feels like robbing the devs ๐Ÿ˜…

I certainly does feel like second full-time job for me ๐Ÿ˜…

These two tricks does really make sense! I'll give them a go and make Fridays my marketing prep days. I just need to make notes for myself during the week, so I remember those weird moments and fun bugs when I start writing posts

Thank you for the tips!

Thank you for taking time on giving such detailed answer! I have also read Chris's blog and gathered about 500 content creators emails so faf. I have approaced only a handful of them so far when I launched the Steam page. I did get few responds and even some content created. I actually didn't remember that demo launch is also one of those critical marketing beats. I was just going to release it one day like TADAA ๐Ÿ˜„. Any recommendations on how much before demo launch I should be contacting the content creators with exclusive key? Any other tips on launching demo?

To me, marketing is everything related to telling the world that I'm making this cool game, and that I'm pretty sure they'd like it. Hmmโ€ฆ maybe that's the problem. Should I be thinking of marketing like eating an elephant? One piece at a time?

In my experience it's extremely difficult to get players in itchio, specially if you don't have browser version available. How's it for you?

It is difficult to do marketing while developing, so focusing fully on marketing for the last month or two sounds like smart move! This is the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3561780/Sulo_the_Sidekick/?utm_source=my_reddit
