That’s pretty much all the feedback indie devs that barely get any wishlists on their steam pre-release pages get on the gamedev subreddit.
A lot of, “I have no idea what the game is supposed to be from the trailer. Is their a narrative? Can’t tell from the trailer. Not much going on in the screenshots. That name isn’t very google-able. You barely have a description and there’s no media in the description either to flash it up. Do you not have any tiktok/Instagram/YouTube presence? YouTubers/Steam curators/Twitch? Did you submit for the Steam Indie Game/Next Fest? Have you submitted to any indie publishers and received feedback? You may be better off with a publisher if you’re not willing to do social media and help with trailers and screenshot selection and writing your Steam page.”
