I am currently working on a game. Aside from passion, you really make me want to develop the best game possible. Thank you.

Here's what his list is, please watch the video to support him though.





1. Put Together A Press List : Don't copy others, find others that people don't know about, find writers that like your type of work.

2. Post To Reddit : Don't be discouraged if people like your work, it's worth trying.

3. Don't Ask YouTubers to play your game : get them involved in your game. Have them be in your game instead. Don't go for any YouTuber less than 10k subscribers.

4. Do a Synergy Stunt : ask to collaborate with you, have them give special bonus going through someone else.

5. Don't Go Searching For Tweets : it isn't worth engaging with someone and working for their attention.

5b. Don't Pay For YouTubers play your game.

5c. Don't Pour All Of Your Time Into Your Website.

This was incredibly insightful. I've watched and read soooo many different "how to"s and none were as informative as this.

Be careful when you ask youtubers to voice act in your game, because you might end up making hunt down the freeman.

Reddit is definitely a double edged sword. I've posted progress videos on certain sub-reddits and gotten downvotes, but then I posted a different progress video on the same sub-reddit and got like 6 upvotes lol. I find it's a lot of trial and error, Unity3D, IndieGames and gamedevexpo seem to work well for me. Good tips. Thanks!

Nice video. I've gotta say, your channel has come a long way. I still remember your new years resolution to gain 100K subscribers and now you are almost at 160K!

I think this is the best ever video I've seen on game marketing! I think I'm already on the right track and doing what you suggest but it's really helpful. By the way, you say a game doesn't sell for itself, which is true, but I think having a good looking and interesting game like yours is really important for marketing too. In particular when you'll try to get in contact with the people on the list.
