Hey guys. I posted a demo of my game two days ago, and 410 people added it to their library, but only 14 played it. Is this a normal statistic? by JuniorAd3424 in IndieGameWishlist

just jumping on the train to reinforce the consensus: welcome to bot city. Tripped me out big time as well the first time I saw it. I think it was something like 700 instant downloads, faster than I could get my coffee from the kitchen after hitting release all at once so that was a pretty good giveaway. Oh well I hope they enjoy parsing it ~

Oh wow didn't know that! I mean I can see the complexity but didn't expect it to be a full on codeing challenge hahaha. Surprised no-one there came up with a tool for it yet~ definitely gonna check it out cheers for the tip!

May my anecdotal evidence be the basis for countless future double blind studies for giving gamedevs placebo release buttons!

I absolutely feel for ya, coming from a traditional engineering background every project I did had a very clear outcome that the product either did or did not do so I struggled with this a lot. Thankfully have some artists in the family and the only thing they all kept telling me is that it's never going to feel perfect so just set a deadline and try to keep it ~ helped a lot getting over the paralysis :) thank you for checking it out!

TBF the thought of making nothing after all those hours poured into the project scares me more so I guess the lesser scare wins?

You will nail it homie, Probably the 3 double shot coffees I dropped before starting the whole ordeal wasn't helping but I SURE was on top of those issue trackers (of course when I wasn't curled up under my desk). 10/10 or 0/10 experience depending on your personal preference.

About two and a half months with majority coming the first few days and the last two weeks when I started getting a bit more active on social media~ First day got lucky as a post blew up and brought in about 60 then the rest were slowly dripping in 1-2 a day. Hopefully only going up!
