Marketing for Games Find gaming creators to play and promote your game. Connect with YouTube creators, streamers, and influencers who actually respond.

I've decided to release marketingforgames.com before procrastination and perfectionism kick in.

What is it?

A platform that helps indiedevs discover niche, mid-tier content creators (YouTube-only for now) based on their view and engagement metrics.

When I need a break from game creation I do linocuts. It took a whole weekend to print them, so next time I’ll do drugs to wind down like a normal person. #linocut #prints #art #traditionalart #gamedev

second also: Glass shaders look really cool on a bowl-type aquarium and I know that it's not good for the fish so it stayed a horrible cube.

Fans: WE WANT PETS
Me: Best I can do is a fishtank
also, you have no idea how many shaders tutorials I've watched to make that tank!

After 1year+ of developing this game l’m pretty sure that the lack of language proficiency is the hardest thing to explain and to understand 🧐 #indiegame #gamemechanics

Screenshot from a game presenting 4 toys arranged on a shelf. Three of them are toy-horses and one is a dinosaur. Text above says: Day 4, they still haven't noticed.

Steam Has Become TikTok I’ve been thinking a lot about the Steam ecosystem. When we released our first game, Curious Expedition 1, back in 2014, it was a completely different world.

It's just perfect, must-read:

It's quiet now. The city's heartbeat is steady. Just the hum of trains and what's left of my thoughts.
