    After a year indie with 2 projects. I remember the reason why i choose to be an indie, make game for fun and nobody can tell me what to do or how to do, but without money make our life harder and put many pressure on us. So now i decided to work for a company and to be an indie in freetime. Maybe it take more time to release an game, but I make game with my joy :)

    Marketing as an indie game developer is more than possible thanks to social media. There's facebook groups where you can promote your apps, facebook pages, reddit pages, twitter users, tumblr even, etc. You just have to be creative and write some compelling words. If possible, you can even start a raffle or something like that.

    Use promote ads is a way to promote our game, i haved search some information first and i find something interest.

    You can read full article here

    If this is true, then some publisher like Ketchapp can boost their game in a few days and if their game is success like "Amazing brick" or "Circle the dot", they make hundreds of thousand of dollars.

    Again, as an indie, i felt so hard to survive haha
