Hello everyone. I would like to expose to you my problem with which I am struggling - and I need some advice. I can say that I am an Indie Dev without any pretension. I made some solid projects in the past, trying to do my best, sharing my passion with others. I created a game which is available on itch.io and Steam for a single buck - Theorem, a little puzzle game. The ratings are positive, but I got only 28 reviews on Steam. The game is good, but I have no community. My latest project for the 54th LudumDare received many good ratings as a Jam entry (mood #4 and graphics #6). Now I would like to reach another level, creating a little studio to become Pro. I am not trying to get rich 'cause I don't need money - instead I want to share art and dreams. However I have no community around my work - and I would like to gather one. I guess that it is necessary if I want some visibility among other projects. So I am aware that I have no understanding about the process needed to do that. I noticed something really interesting a few weeks ago about sharing free keys of my game Theorem - I can generate a lot of traffic during a few days (more or less 4000 visits and 400/500 downloaded games). LudumDare is a big community, but outside of the event there is nothing... Finally this is my question : how to gather a community around a project? Which social media does the work? Should I pay someone to do the work (I can)? Thank you for your help. And as usual I wish you the best ++
