[Mountain Forge Games]

After this year is over, I plan to start a prototype for my first game(outside of school. I've made over a dozen) and I have 2 questions:

1. Where can I go to ask people about their preferences of genre?

2. Where might I go to gather statitistics?

 I am eager to read the replies.

Ive been struggling with these things for years! I too want to know! Ive been making my game for years and cant get people to look at it and test it never mind market the game.

Both Twitter and Facebook have poll options for tweets/posts. On Facebook, I would recommend you form a group, and create a poll within that. You could also post in other game groups on Facebook.

As far as surveying goes, there are multiple services you can use. Google Forms is free to use.

You can get traffic/leads to the survey/poll a couple of different ways through Facebook ads (starts at $1/day).

For data and statistics, Steam Spy will have data on PC games, and App Annie will have data on mobile games.
