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

can i just hire some young attractive person to do this for me?

>>715028397
meaning?

>>715028059 (OP)
If you Ai nobody will play so don't even bother trying

>>715028882
100% this

>>715028753
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.

so I need to hire an artist?

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.

Why is that?

>>715029138
or pick up a pen

>>715029609
I drew the original and got AI to redraw it, but the original look like childrensP drawing of age 4

>>715029138
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

are you retarded

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.
