I’m offering to look at a few indie games for free from a marketing angle.

Could be an idea, a rough concept, a Steam page, a trailer, or just whether the niche makes sense.

No paid thing. I’m not trying to sell anything or join a team.

My background is digital marketing in the streamer and creator education space (founded www.streamscheme.com). That space is getting hit pretty hard by AI right now, so I’ve been looking more seriously at games as a future career path.

The useful bit is that I see a lot of game marketing from the creator side. Because of the work I’ve done, I get pitched by serious indie game marketing teams pretty every day. These are proper campaigns from people who know how to get games in front of YouTubers and streamers at scale.
I’ve been paying attention to how they frame games, what they send over, and what makes a pitch feel worth replying to.

I’ve spent years building a sharp understanding of consumer behavior in gaming. Who something is actually for and hooks that get a player base invested.

I also understand launch strategy at a high level in terms of the steps. From a couple of grand in budget, right down to how to bootstrap with nothing. How to build interest early and finding the right audience. Also, just making the game easy to explain so all future promotions are easier.

So if you want a free outside look at your game or idea, either drop a question here or send me a DM.

If I think I can help, I’ll give honest notes. If I don’t, I’ll just say that.
I can also share who I am and what I’ve worked on. So you know I’m not just some random account fishing for leads.

Has anyone had to deal with an elderly family member who really shouldn’t be driving anymore?

My partner's grandmother has had 3 minor crashes in about 6 months. Nothing huge yet thankfully, but it feels like only a matter of time before someone gets badly hurt.

The problem is she doesn’t think she’s doing anything wrong. It’s always someone else’s fault, bad luck, or “not that serious”. When we bring it up she gets upset and defensive, which I do understand, because driving is basically her independence.

But we’re pretty worried now and don’t really know what the right steps are. Can a doctor assess this? Can family report it to the licensing people? Do we need proof of the crashes?

Really just looking for advice from anyone who has been through this. We don’t want to be cruel, but ignoring it feels wrong too.
