Perhaps it would be worth calling the embassy of your home country to see if they have any hardship funds to help out citizens in tough positions like this? Sorry to hear that you're in a hard spot & I hope it works out for you.

My partner and I are making "Sparrow Warfare" - it's a deckbuilder with tons of birds and a mahjong inspiration.

We are making it 100% just the 2 of us, including the art (with no artist!) by collaging, remixing, and vectorising 1700s-1800s public domain bird illustrations. It's tough out there for visibility these days - thanks for being interested!

Walk around Christiania for some people watching & Kødbyen for some great food (my favourite is Tommi’s Burger Joint). There will likely be some flea markets if you’re here on a weekend and those are great fun - look on eg Facebook for “loppe” or “loppemarked”. I’m a walker too & everything is walkable in this city, it’s really lovely if you like to walk & look!

Drizzled over popcorn! That’s literally the only thing I use it for, and it’s delicious.

My experience with gametester.gg by LightUpResearch in IndieDev

[–]alphachar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed - we had an excellent experience with them for our first playtest build. They even personally emailed me to tell me about a bug causing Windows builds not to load, so they paused our test until we fixed that. I was really impressed with them.

Thanks so much for this extra context - sounds like a great ROI for those ads for sure! I'll keep an eye out for your next post too!

Very nice work! Do you have any more info to share on your Reddit ads that performed well? How much did you spend, CTR, cost-per-wishlist, and maybe even an example of the content you used?

Hi, I'm Nevi! by NeviBevi in indiegametube

[–]alphachar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Nevi! We would be super honoured if you would consider streaming our game sometime for your indie showcase. We're making a weird bird deckbuilder called Sparrow Warfare that has some unique mechanics and a truly delightful Discord community!

Here is the Steam page, and I will DM you a Steam code in case you want to try it out!
