    Hey, I’m an indie game developer. I just finished my first game. I wonder where I could show it for like-minded friends. I tried some forums yesterday. Unfortunately the post were removed for promoting. So could anyone give me some suggestions? Where could I make discussion about this? I don’t have much experience in it.

    Feel free to comment! Really need your help!

    Hi. You posted a thread in the iOS game section. Your game is android only so I moved it there

    You then posted the same thread in general and that was deleted as you’ve already got a thread for your game and also we don’t post game threads in general

    the public developers forum is a great place to ask fellow devs on how to market or promote your game so hopefully you’ll get some replies or tips

    Edit - And then created a shill account to post the same thread about your game. Not a good start

    Some gamers sent me these screenshots. Feel free to try it~
    I'm thinking maybe I should make some videos of it...

    Wow, are you sure you are an indie ;)? Your game looks soooo professional! As an alternative, what about attending online events ( PGC? BIG festival in Brazil, Indie Cups?) Almost all of them are free nowadays + help to increase interest to your game. Things like your facebook, twitter, LinkedIN, youtube, etc pages are clear... #ScreenshotSaturdays on facebook and twitter? There is a huge group Indie Game Developers on facebook as well... People are very talkative over there ;) Discord groups for game developers, also good to become a part of the local/national association of game developers.... I can talk for hours :) Wishing you luck for your game!

    Thanks. we are a six person team. We don't know much about promoting. We tried facebook and twitter. seems it's hard to get attraction. I just simply post my screenshot. I believe there must be some ways I don't know. Would you mind I add your discord?
