Things I’ve learned so far trying to promote my game:
- Reddit is king
- People will watch about 15 to 40 seconds of your trailer, so keep it that short
- Almost all owners of VR headsets live in North America, so post during their daytime and focus on English content.
- Wait to promote your game until it actually looks good
