Hi,

So I've been wondering, which social media do yall use for promoting game dev?

I hear X is where it's at?

Tick tok is for gen z?

Facebook?

instagram?

Which ones do you actually use? and which ones do you see as useful to your game dev journey?

I'm trying to figure out where to spend my time and resources?

+1 on this topic!

In my small company we tried to promote our VR games on TikTok & Insta. We didn't get much luck with this, part of it because it really takes time and consistency to build an audience. Plus, these networks focus on people. Viewers want to see people, not studios or companies products.

As a result, the best promo we got for our game came from Youtubers playing our game, plus getting 5 stars ratings & reviews.

Now I admit pushing a VR game is pretty special : kind-of niche audience, and the distribution platforms were quite basic at the time (no wishlist, no real community in the store).

Neither of them, I actually using Youtube
