Hello all! So today I’ve been putting together a big list of social media places to share screenshots and videos about my game with a little more detail than “Twitter/Facebook/GMC”
My primary goal is to find places where it is appropriate to share my game. I don’t want to be spamming random pages that I shouldn’t be. I don’t want to get banned or people annoyed at me. I don’t plan on sharing tons of stuff, just a coupe posts a week or minimum of once a week for screenshot Saturday.
The other biggest challenge is finding places that cater to more than just game developers. There are tons of places where you can share screenshots of your game, but the entire page is just other developers also sharing screenshots of their games. These pages can be alright, but I would prefer to get outside just the game developer bubble.
Here is the list that I come up with. As you can see, the vast majority of it is still gamedev related places.
