Steam Next Fest without an audience ? What should i do ?
So, guys, as a tender, aspiring indie developer, I've been working on my game for the last year. I pre-registered for SteamNextFest to show the world my creation. But I only recently realized how blindly I'd been making the game and neglecting marketing.
A quick overview of the game ZONE L.O.S.T. - co-op extraction horror - 4 scientists (the fat one gets stuck in doorways, the tall one can't hide under the table, the short one can't reach the table, the disabled one is disabled - all scientists. An emergency occurs in the labs, and you need to escape the complex by first setting the labs to self-destruct).
I released the game's page 10 days ago, and I currently have 125 wishlists without marketing, and I'm currently polishing my game for the fest. But I just realized that without an audience, the game might simply drown out among 2,000 other games at the fest.
WHAT SHOULD I DO!?
I've also been thinking about collaborating with publishers. How can I find a publisher?
