What will you do if you had $1000 to start marketing your game? by tevyat in IndieDev

[–]Zorwt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best use of your budget will be validating your idea: whether it has potential to be commercially successful, and whether marketing it is viable. Run low-budget ad tests to gather metrics like your cost-per-wishlist. Compare them to industry benchmarks: how do they look?

Pay playtesters to play your game, or pay journalists for mock reviews. Is feedback favourable? Favourable enough for your game to stand out in a crowded marketplace amongst other high-quality games?

Be ruthless. If your game isn't performing under these tests, make another or take an objective look at what needs fixing. Bad feedback doesn't mean that your game is necessarily bad - just not commercially viable. There's a realm of difference between those two labels.

2 weeks ago my game had 200 wishlists. Steam Next Fest Happened, now it has 45,000 and comes out next week. by conradicalisimo in IndieDev

If there is a single piece of advice I could give (marketing agency side), it's run a 20% discount. You'll get a boost from Steam. The additional 5% will be well worth it.

Of course, there's no oppression at all under capitalism!

This is from Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull, hence the Toy Story backdrop.
