What marketing advice do you have for our fellow game devs, gentlemen & those few ladies in the corner that came from the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fandom?

I'd say there's a few things you can do to make your Patreon & game more well known.
Hole House keeps using nothing but copyrighted characters and even posts videos on various porn sites each video titled after said characters. What he could do further is to separate each game into a HTML5 or WebGL file with each character as its separate game, even going as fuck as making a file for each and every single position - Charlie Morningstar doggy style, Charlie Morningstar blowjob, Charlie Morningstar boobjob, Charlie Morningstar missionary, you get the idea, however doggy, missionary, blowjob are the most searched for.

Hole House similar to Runescape employs a very annoying & "predatory" "want those extra features & characters on top of your base game? here's 200 links at every single opportunity linking you back to my Patreon in order for you to subscribe. C'mon you didn't waste all that time to not subscribe have you?"

Hole House gameplay wise implements the managerial side of the game in a very relaxed background way, you never get to hear or see the characters having sex with the clients neither do you bother actually doing any managerial work (wow just like real life) while the money rakes in without you even knowing where it came from. This stepback towards the management tycoon genre and having it run in the background as the engine inside the hood deal is very efficient for the lazy and notime to fuck around kind of person who just got done working his walmart job or got done with a very important meeting. It doesn't pander to someone who has 16 hours of free time a day, barely 4 hours of free time before he goes to sleep. (Most executives/investors who have both free time and money do not waste their time on such games... unless it's sports fanatics, sports fanatics and rich people cross-over like engineers and furries.)

Copyrighted characters will be infinitely more looked for than even simple tags such as; NTR MILF doggy cute blonde blue eyes white dragon demon dog puppy fox cat bunny.
However title & tags are incredibly important as such there's this particular game called Waifu Wonderland which isn't raking in any views despite the fact the game is all about MILFs and ocassionally some "waifus" - girls of the same age as the main character. Waifus also doesn't include popular characters and waifus is something associated with anime characters.
Wonderland again it's not something you use when looking for porn. A title as simple as MILFs: Waifus Porn Couch (despite there being no couch) would be much easier to Google search. Or MILFs: Waifus Porn Webcam (despite there being no webcam).
What does the title "Waifu Wonderland" give you? Waifu gives some dictionaries, a reddit, an image resizer website, a decensoring tool Patreon that hasn't been updated since 2019.
Wonderland gives you Alice in Wonderland, an amusement park, a national park, a waterpark, a spa place and whatever the hell this thing is

The most success I've ever had advertising is posting a meme to reddit.

Add a heading.png

Considering I only have one image to work with in my entire game (see the bottom right corner), advertising is a unique challenge to say the least. What I think made this meme work is:

  1. It was a trending meme at the time
  2. It flaunted a gameplay feature.
  3. It also attracted the 'ackutally crowd' who felt the need to tell me other games measure cum swallowed. This meant engagement which is always good.
While obviously people with more visual games have said visuals to flaunt, I do think it's worth noting that every time I look at Reddit, I see mostly similar looking renders for a dime-a-dozen games.

Reddit seems to be the most useful for advertising. Twitter is a waste of time.

Fukken epin and very truthful. Got to instigate a fight and deep Dark Souls Warhammer 40k lore discussion to get attention.

-Mentions NTR and Summertime Saga in the same phrase-
Opinions? IMO I still think people who were looking for Candy Crush Saga accidentally found Summertime Saga or Google mixed up the two. Soda Saga, Jelly Saga, Farm Heroes Saga. I think Saga is simply a very popular SEO word.
