🎮 GAME DEVS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU. 15 years in games. Here's the community + social media stuff I wish someone had told me before I spent years posting 'New update! #gamedev' into the void: ✅ Followers aren't an audience until they've talked to you. Reply to people. 300 real conversations beat 30,000 impressions. ✅ Post the game, not the patch notes. Nobody in history has wishlisted a changelog. ✅ The first 3 seconds of your clip ARE the clip. If it opens on your logo, congrats, you made an ad people scroll past. ✅ A Discord isn't a community until someone besides you posts in it. 20 people who care beat 2,000 who joined for a giveaway. ✅ Hashtags are seasoning, not the meal. Eight in a row reads like a ransom note. ✅ Other devs aren't your competition. They're coworkers in the world's least organized office. Share their stuff. They'll share yours. ✅ Viral is a lottery ticket. Showing up every day is a salary. ✅ When someone says something nice about your game, screenshot it. You'll need it at 2 AM in month 14. Got questions? I'm around right now. Ask me anything below 👇 I'm also open for contract work (community, social, launch strategy). DMs open.
