I have a really weird predicament that doesn’t have advice on this: I’m a solo dev that is in debt and I need to make a Skyrim killer in one month or else the mob takes me away. I have zero coding experience if that helps

Considering that the release of my new game is near, I hope I can remember all of this information long enough 😅

It's a Bollywood inspired single player action FPS called "Aam Aadmi"

The store page is live right now, and the demo is yet to be approved.

I don't know how it would be perceived when it releases, but I sent a copy to my friend and he enjoyed it, so I guess I do have some confidence in it.

I like your analogy of marketing being a deck building strategy game. The content is there, the channels are there, but when and how you utilize those determines the outcome. Also, sick indie game marketing playbook!

I have a problem with this guide, and my problem is - it's an article I won't remember when I need it most...

This should be like an e-book, a web application, a Chat GPT model or something.
