Hey Everyone,

I’ve entered Ludum Dare a few times in the past but it’s been ages and I can’t remember my login details, but it’s okay because a fresh start is nice.

In the past I’ve used Game Maker: Studio Pro and made my games for browser then submitted them to a website (can’t remember which one precisely) and submitted them in to Ludum Dare. But this time I want to try something a little different.

Lately I’ve been very interested in iOS app and game design and I’m wanting to start making some very basic games. I thought that doing Ludum Dare would help me improve my skills and give me some publicity. But because of a few things like licensing, I won’t be publishing my games on to the app store just yet, instead I’m going to have my own website which you can visit and install the app on your iOS device straight from the browser.

The only problem with this is if people would actually test my games. I understand that the recommended game type (and probably most used) is browser games because it’s easy for people to test out, by that logic I’m not sure if people would test out my games because they’d need to get out their iOS device (if they have one), then go to my website and install the app.

Please give me some advice on whether people would actually test out my games or what I could do to make it easier for people to test out my game.
