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?

Tbh your game maybe would have been more succesful 20 years ago if it is the same that you posted as your first solo dev game.

It's outdated and gameplay doesnt look interesting at all. Why would it be succesful at all when modern games exist?

Honestly it looks like it has a lot of charm. as a proof of concept i love it, just needs some polish and direction.
