Ask HN: How to further validate my indie game project?
2 by throwaway3699 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi Hacker News, Throwaway for obvious reasons. Recently I've been working on an indie game project. After some upfront work of about 2-3 months, I published a Steam page and started to build a community. Without revealing too much, I was able to build a Discord community of over 100 people in just a few days. However after a few initial successes on Reddit and Imgur, my traction has fallen off a cliff. I'm worried that my game isn't as enticing as I thought, but this early success plus some recent playtesting makes me think there may still be potential here. How can I further validate my game? I know the indie market is tough, so I want to be sure before investing further.
