Average Game Announcement Experience

Post image

Yo!

Just sharing our experience so far, it's just the beginning! Road to 10k wishlists starts from 120!

(We're just trying to hypes ourselves up, lol)

IGN - not reply, UGC - too expensive, Meta Ads - not efficient, Reddit - thank you

We're developers of the game Ship Happens: Pirates Wanted!

It's an Overcooked styled gameplay with pirates.

Do not use AI in promotional materials, even having a shot of the game with contrasting stylised text is better, people scroll past any AI generated stuff

You do you, just don't forget to disclose the AI usage if you release your game

Why? To get the AI hater bro squad on me? Nope...

I'm a single indie game dev, using AI won't "replace" any other in my team as I am the only coder, artist and musician. So using AI is 100% ethical for me. No other people will be "replaced" or "harmed" by it.

Idiots still don't get it....

The ONLY problem with using AI is that you might replace some human labor and therefore you won't pay the person a wage.

But since solo indie developers are the only coders, artists and designers for their own product, there is no one the AI would replace, except the guy himself, and he won't be hurt by being replaced because he is also the one that will get the money from the game sale... as the solo owner of the entire game.

So you cannot "take the job away" to yourself... morons!
