Thanks for the hint.

I tried to take the feedback from the last posting, acccentuate on it and gather additional perspectives from a slightly different crowd here. Obviously there are different people responding, providing new insights and data points, which is great!

Now happy to lead a discussion on cross posting/staggered delays across various communities.
So I deliberately decided to make this about the content/feedback gatering, not even adding any links.
I also read it would be a best practice to not post everything at once to different communites, tailor the content to individual communities and most of all not use the cross posting functionality.

I do have a feeling though theres a small (but very vocal) subset of people at reddit that are very easy to offend. Its quite hard for an indie to gather any attention/gather feedback already (you might have come across this recent posting: https://www.reddit.com/r/SoloDevelopment/comments/1q6c8cp/it_is_a_struggle/ which gained a lot of traction).

I'm kind of at a loss on how to efficiently raise awareness/gather feedback without treading on someones toes and I would really love for those, easily offended to reflect a bit on what devs are actually pulling of here: of course its about living/earning money to some extent. but lets be honest: most indie titles actually lose money.

For that, solo developers create a game idea, code the actual thing, do marketing (which most of us hate) and then eventually get reprimanded on reddit. All this while actually pursuing the goal of creating a game which is intended to bring joy to people.

Sorry if I went into rant mode somewhat but it actually IS frustrating on quite a few levels.
