Yeah, I used to love them, but throughout the years, I feel like they've gone downhill. They do have a big reach, so I'll still reach out to them.

Game name? If it doesn't suck just send shit to everybody you can think of.

reach out to me

It's called Circuit Dude- Mac and PC on Steam.... Mobile coming soon. 100 levels and similar to Chip's Challenge, except it has a bigger variety and the puzzles are actually less action-based and more logic-based.

I don't think it looks good. Best advice I can give is say you're a big fan of some streamer in an email and send them a copy. Say they inspired you or some shit. Pop out some copies to the retro YouTube channels saying you based it off chips challenge. Don't be a dick to anybody and be super fucking respectful to everyone. You don't have to support the gays but don't complain about anything. Keep your personal shit out of your gameshit. Aim to get trading card support and pay an artist to make really nice fullborder steam wallpapers.

100% absolutely. I've removed all connection between any political views I have with my online/personal branding. Around a year ago, I decided to step back from all that nonsense and really focus on making games.

I appreciate the feedback. The game's graphics didn't turn out exactly how I liked, but so many people told me they love the look and feel of the game that I decided I probably shouldn't change it.

I've reached out to some streamers who have okay followings and some decided to stream it. I reached out to some podcasters and smaller publications that I think will pick it up. I've been on two podcasts, so I think that'll help a tiny bit.

As for YouTubers, there are some that really like this kind of puzzler, but they get so many requests that I think a lot of them that I reach out to won't actually see it or won't actually reply. If I get like 1/100, that could still change my life, so I'm reaching out to a lot of them.... Well, trying to... I don't know many retro streamers or YouTubers (as well as indie blogs) that would care for something like this.

I've hit up the big names, but the point of this thread is to organically find some blogs that people like me actually enjoy that I may not have heard of. Shit, same with YouTubers or Streamers. I'm not doing this for money- I probably will never break even on this game. I just want enough people to enjoy my game, so I sent out a lot of free keys, but even then, getting people's attention is hard.

You ever post on AGDG over on /vg/? They'll shit on you if you post your finished game but they're enjoyable and can be helpful if you make another project. Sterling might be able to help you out and do a video on your game if you message him. A HTML demo might be something you could try.

Is that a guild?

It's a place where some guys shitpost and sometimes make games. Risk of Rain started over there. Jim Sterling is the fatguy who talks about new steam games or something.
