I have built a site for developers to showcase their games, tell the world about them whilst in development and add links to where gamers can buy/download them and more. I will link it to the usual social media channels and hopefully it may help get you a download or two.
After a lifelong passion for gaming, I have finally started to properly learn to code games…in what little spare time I have.
I went to the EGX rezzed show in London and, after speaking with a lot of developers, I realised 2 things:
- Everyone is so friendly and happy to help each other.
- Everyone has the same concern during development and upon completion…..’How do I tell the world about my game?’
I know there are sites out there already which help promote games and of course there is social media, but I thought I would pause my game development education to try and lend a hand to the indie community myself.
I have a bunch of ideas and features that I will add to the site over time, the current being an accompanying YouTube channel which will feature videos made by guest presenters who have kindly offered to play games featured on the site.
If you have a chance please check it out and if you have a game you would like to add then be my guest!
Happy Developing!
