Ren'Py Communication with gamers during game development

[somethingLikeUser]

My last post

Recently I asked you what game I should do, I read your answers and chose the option of cab, even nahvodil came up with Drive & Desire) Well, okay I will show the results of the work then I hope you like it, and now I wanted to ask another thing, whether I should be engaged in advertising the game during its development (that is, before release) e.g. I do the game I already have something that is ready or ready only a little but already has ydiscord server with hopefully people. Or just don't worry about it and just do the game, prsoto I would really like to show my work that I do and hopefully get approval and praise (if finitechn osdelal a good job). I was just thinking of creating a discord server where I will publish weekly updates and maybe in the future when I will be closer to release make a patreon to get a little support.


And also one more question is it worth to worry about the language or leave English and that's it?

Once you have a demo you can advertise. You'll be limited to whatever your social media reach is and I don't think you'll be able to do stuff like Google AdWords but it is what it is!

I would avoid the discord. You'll need moderation and that takes time, then you'll have to engage people and that takes time, there's no value in it until much later after your demo and you are feeling comfortable with how progress is.

Unfortunate that your goal is money via Patreon. This will be an uphill and disappointing battle for you but if you can survive for 5 years you may bring in money. Unfortunately this may be 4 years more than you have money to continue with.

Just try to get out the English version first if this is your first language.
