Last week my latest game, Major Escape, reached closed beta status. There comes a time for every game where the “game” part takes the back seat and the “app” part kind of takes over. This is what articles call an “action shoot”. I’ve been doing all of these things, for weeks, and I’ve increased my Twitter followers by 2 (a 200% increase over the previous month) and my Facebook followers by cero. Oh and plenty of hashtags ( #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker etc.). Some articles recommend that I add to my posts an action shot (video or picture) showing the game’s progress. Still, I need to keep the conversation going, but how do I do this?Īccording to several online articles, I should be posting and “tweeting” regularly. My Twitter account and Facebook page have been a bit more silent than in the previous weeks when I started promoting the game. It’s not fun to work fixing bugs and making your menus look better and work better, but it’s necessary work, so I’m getting through it.Īll of this means that there is not much to talk about the game, at least not at this stage.
That’s why it feels like there has been no progress. This means that the game looks almost exactly the same as it was two weeks ago. Major Escape is still in closed beta and I’ve been mostly working on menus and killing bugs.
