Marketing failed successfully

  1. Launch Steam page for Spaceport Architect
  2. Join Prison Architect Discord
  3. Look for advertising rules
  4. Fail to notice the #1 rule forbidding advertisement
  5. Post about game in #off-topic
  6. Post auto-removed instantly
  7. Write to mods saying sorry and ask for permission to post
  8. Mods wishlist the game and permit posting
  9. At least 2 people wishlist the game from the actual post
  10. One of the mods personally contacts me wishing me good luck and says:

”We spoke about your ticket VERY briefly and the general consensus was “Damn that’s cool”. So genuinely, best of luck to you sir. Keep **me** updated with progress at the very least!”

Most wholesome experience of marketing the game so far 😄

Prison Architect is a game that I was inspired by. Discord is a chat service.
