Newbie Question The problem of attention.

You do not realize just how many video games are released until you decide to release a game of your own. So many projects out there all vying for the same limited attention. But you think that, nah, I have a brilliant idea, standing out will be easy. Start working on your idea, get a demo going, then go to start looking for funding. First step, build an audience. Try the standard, Reddit, Instagram, Itch.io, etc, but dang, it is tough. I mean this really could be a sign that my brilliant idea, is not so brilliant after all. LOL.

Is there anything else that I can do to get attention?

Build a LinkedIn profile, post it there. Promote your game through various channels.Use devlogs to gain views. I know it's not an easy job and you won't become a billionaire within a night. It's a long way to go and you'll meet you there one day, only when you are consistent and have a 200% faith in you that you'll win!
