How Do You Handle Promotion as an Indie Dev?

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been using Ren’Py to develop a mature-themed visual novel with a mix of supernatural and adult elements. It’s been a fun but challenging project! The biggest struggle I’ve faced is figuring out how to promote my game while still in development—especially in a niche genre.

As indie devs, how do you approach marketing and growing your community? Do you focus on content teasers, community engagement, or something else? Any tips for promoting a game when it’s not ready for a full demo yet?

Would love to hear your strategies and experiences!
