I'm trying to make a video game. Can anyone recommend a book that covers marketing theory, I think this would be useful. I already have some background in psychology.

theory is if ur game is good enough , it will market itself.

Not necessarily.
But a guaranteed way to get some attention is waifus. That's day 1 shit for the vidya crowd (just look at Yoko Taro and all those shitty weeb games on Steam)
In any case OP, you want to create a strong offer for your buyer, ask yourself " Who is my audience, and hat sort of experience do I want to give them?" and tailor your marketing round those answers.

This, even waifus sell shitcoins on this board.

It's about creating the imagery that appeal to the game's audience that draws them.
A good game will sell. A good game that's marketed will sell and have a legion of rabid fan boys that will talk about it, create fan art, and just generally give it attention so other people take notice. Also, it creates loyalty, even if someone creates a clone of your equal in quality they will stay with the original instead of the clone.

What I want is a book on theory that lays out a model for how people think about products.
Sort of like how if you want to understand psychology you don't read individual cases but read the theory about the cases.

>Can you make money drawing them? How? I'm an artist,
look into book covers, graphics for ads, general commisions, etc. Tons of money for artists these days.
porn is stupid easy money if you have the stomach for it too

Might want to ask /agdg/ or hop on their discord and see if anyone can help you with that.
There are devs there who have actually successfully launched games

How do you sell anime porn? Do you have any idea what it pays?
>>2614140
Ask /ic/ they're well up to date with that. Prices all depends on A) how good you are and B) how much you can convince someone to pay you
>>2614155
Thanks man.
>>2614155
They're not being very helpful. Is deviant art still a thing?
>>2612844
Thank you. Influence looks promising.
