Some people were like, oh well, you know, you're the developer.
How did you do this?
How did you do that?
So
For the first few months, I grew a small audience on TikTok by answering questions like, you know, how did I get started making games?
Advice for beginner game developers.
And eventually I thought I should post one of these to my Instagram.
My Instagram had 800 followers at the time, it was just friends, coworkers.
It was more just to show them that I had been working on this thing.
So I reposted one of my videos and then that video got two million views.
I gained six thousand followers overnight and in three months I gained fifty thousand followers.
So it was like I guess slow ish in the first few months and then it was like explosion.
And
I learned to like making the videos, I should say.
Eventually I stopped seeing it as a chore.
And yeah, I'm in this extremely fortunate position where I think for a lot of indie developers, getting that first initial hump of recognition is very difficult.
Because there are so many games coming out, so much competition.
And I think because of my social media following, it does really help that I have already a built-in community who is accepted.
But that being said
You know, it doesn't guarantee that my game is going to sell a lot of copies or that people are interested, but it really has helped me get a gauge about if my ideas are in the right place.
