Hi everyone,
I'm very excited to launch my first mobile game to the Play Store, but I want to make sure I build a community around the game to both keep players in the loop throughout testing and deployment, as well as just make the game one that's rooted in social bonding from the start (sharable replays, high scores, discovering secrets).
So far I've found some communities on Reddit (r/gamedev, r/IndieGaming, r/IndieDev , r/indiegames, r/IndieGameDevs, r/WebGames), and a handful of discord servers, but engagement has been pretty low.
I'm wondering if I just need to be more persuasive (show off more of the game in these posts), or if I'm looking in the wrong place? I'm searching for eager players / early adopters who are a fan of arcade style mobile games (think Geometry Dash, Jetpack Joyride). What do you think?
