Hey there fellow dev, congratulations on the brilliant game! I just wanted to ask how you went about promoting the game and getting users onboard? Because surely that must have been hard and quite difficult to generate hype for something that you were devoting so much time and effort to?

Thank you for the brilliant and well thought out response. It was indeed very helpful, and certainly gave a better insight into the process, and how it can be made to work in your favour.

Whilst I'm an iOS developer, and focusing primarily on productivity/news/social apps, I do have a few games on the AppStore. So I shall definitely take the advice onboard and use it wisely.

For my most recent app, a reddit client by the name of Milkeddit, I've been promoting screenshots for a few months prior to launch, which greatly helped enhance visibility and gain a small but cult follower base that wanted to see progress. The release did not go so well, with only a few hundred downloads, and not many more since. I've come to realise that promoting in a wider array of sites was necessary, but this wasn't ideal as the app was for reddit itself.

Thank you for your time and for the guidance!

Thank you, and best of luck to you too with getting your game out there to more users!

How do you handle promotion? I recently put up my own tabletop party game on Kickstarter and it's hardly getting any traction. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the very informative reply! Would you happen to know of any of the mentioned people I could follow, started on Twitter using @YourDarePackage, but it's getting very little traction as of yet.
