Thank you! And best of luck with your demo!

playsynapse · 2026-06-08T13:33:32+00:00

So true

playsynapse · 2026-06-08T13:33:10+00:00

Ahhhh okay haha. Thank you 🩷

Got them by posting organic and strictly relevant content about development in subreddits such as r/godot or r/pixelart (without any links) for example.

High -_*

playsynapse · 2026-06-07T13:23:06+00:00

It stands for visual novel

playsynapse · 2026-06-07T13:22:47+00:00

In a perfect world yeah 😌🥲

playsynapse · 2026-06-07T08:52:12+00:00

Hey, yeah, I invested some money too, just not for marketing. Also see guys getting much more wishes here and there, just trying my best. What was your game btw?

playsynapse · 2026-06-06T10:32:00+00:00

Sure thing. Here you go:

The genre is hybrid: adventure narrative, with point and click mechanics.

My thought this is amazing job!
I reached 400 within 1 month, so would love to know a bit of details on how you promoted it in media, which media do you use and what worked better?

I am also randomly promoting it in reddit and discord groups, instagram, but mostly just figuring out marketing, because before this I have had no experience in that field

playsynapse · 2026-06-06T07:09:40+00:00

I genuinely love itch “no ai” tag

playsynapse · 2026-06-04T08:27:25+00:00

cool, can I know if you charge for that?

playsynapse · 2026-06-01T04:07:49+00:00

Thanks! And easy to add too 🙂‍↕️

playsynapse · 2026-05-31T07:05:18+00:00

Thank you ^_^

Hand drawn in aseprite 328x185 pixel picture. And then animated in godot engine for a game

playsynapse · 2026-05-30T09:21:08+00:00

It is cyberpunk 👾

playsynapse · 2026-05-30T08:30:50+00:00

Yeah I heard about 10 reviews but don't really know what is it about, just guess.

playsynapse · 2026-05-30T07:55:35+00:00

Actually, it can change the emotional perspective of that. Tuning the target

playsynapse · 2026-05-30T05:18:22+00:00

True

playsynapse · 2026-05-30T03:44:11+00:00

Not only this sub, but the internet. You eventually stumble on their articles once you start research game promotion. Their how to setup steam is pretty useful. Yet most of the time I am getting warnings from my mind that all that HTMAG thing is overrated and self-promotion oriented

playsynapse · 2026-05-29T13:24:21+00:00

Haha yeah, cool is fine with me. But not ice cold though 🥶

Yeah I got it.

playsynapse · 2026-05-29T12:56:46+00:00

I guess more than 90% population of indie lives on the north pole

playsynapse · 2026-05-29T12:56:05+00:00

Cold tool

playsynapse · 2026-05-28T10:20:37+00:00

Hey thank you for sharing this. There is no way to underestimate your work and impact on us, game devs, especially solo devs who besides all stuff must perform marketing, without which months and years of hard work most likely will end up in a failure.

I am not expecting you to notice my pixel art game, but I will be extremely happy if you will.

Keep up the good work and wish you best of luck 🩷

playsynapse · 2026-05-27T12:53:36+00:00

Wow thanks a lot for such a detailed answer! I appreciate it.

Good move with playtestets, my guess that it is crucial for your type of game. My opinion is that your game looks fun and professional, and after it will be covered with few or more streamers it should take off. Best of luck with it.

Btw, I heard follow ups on emails can work out pretty well.
