How do I release my game demo? 7/10/2025, 5:00:40 AM No.715028059 [Report] >>715028397 >>715028882 >>715029159

I have an indie game that I want to release a demo of, what's the best approach? I dream of being a game developer. I have a website that isn't live and a complete demo build in pygame.

Steam Fest
Shill your demo on Rebbit and 4chin by pretending to be a random guy 'so impressed by this game!'
Maybe hire Indians on fiverr to shill as well.

Kill yourself for a merketing stunt.

It'll also save you a lot of trouble if shit like your OP is in your game

Maybe.
Valve will offer you an hour slot to stream your game on Steam during Next Fest.
Take it, every developer says there's a spike in Wishlists when they streamed.
If you suck at public speaking, maybe look into hiring someone instead of autism bombing your game.

Best approach for what? Distribution?
Itch.io for free or $99 for a Steam page.
For exposure? You'll have to shill it either here or X the Everything App or send keys to streamers.

yes! though don't use your ai images as a reference when seeking one out, a lot of artists (rightfully) won't work with people who do. if verbal descriptions of what you're looking for doesn't work for you, creating a mood board they can reference helps a ton.

if you're too lazy to handcraft the aesthetics of your game, then I have no faith you didn't half-ass other stuff like gameplay, game-design, polishing, etc.
SKIP

If you don't intend on bettering your own art, hire an artist. Nobody will even give your game a chance if the preview screenshots look like AI garbage.
