So inspiring. I love making games, but actually sharing them is the scary part. This gave me the motivation to bite the bullet!

[@GDevelopApp]

It can be a little scary, but if you want people to play the things you make, the bullet must be bit! 😅 -Wesley

[@MoaiGuyRBLX]

NO DONT BITE THE BULLET IT WILL PEIRCE THROUGH YOUR THROAT WHAT KIND OF IDEA IS THAT-

[@alexandre_1883]

Really interesting to see what's after the step "My game is finished"! I hope that everyone can get to this 10k players milestone!

[@GDevelopApp]

Finishing the game is great, but then the footwork begins! 🦶 -Wesley

[@StellarGamingDev]

This is pretty informative because I never knew about a lot of these things. Especially making games because I always wondered if I needed to make a social media account to kinda show off what I was doing. Great video.

[@GDevelopApp]

Happy to help! -Wesley

[@SHindieGame]

1. GDevelop built-in game dashboard 2. Post your game everywhere 3. Know the quirks of the platform you using 4. Attractive Promo art 5. Social media marketing

[@SHindieGame]

Useful and concise video

[@VictrisGames]

This was really useful! I want to try publishing my games on more platforms now. Thanks!

I've seen people also say your first couple of games shouldn't be paid. They should be small free experiences or "vertical slice" samples first, something that will generate interest in you as a developer before showing up one day out of the blue expecting people to throw cash at an unknown. It gives you time to get used to the marketing aspect and see where your audience may be.

[@MetalSonicReject]

What if I made them free-to-start? Would that be effective?

[@clementpasteau4539]

Really good tips, it's all about getting the momentum going and then people start talking about it!

[@GDevelopApp]

Exactly! If your game is great people will share it for you, but they need to know it exist first! 👍 -Wesley

[@alternego95]

wow, so many great points with clear examples!

[@aurel3117]

Analytics are very good to more more about players. And yeah multipliing game platforms help to be part of the new gem on atleast one of the gaming platform.

Hello! this is unrelated but I'm having issues with Gdevelop controls and needed help. I want to use Lshift as a toggle for the player running and walking animation and that's working fine, but when I do press shift the player just starts jumping. I let go of shift and they stop jumping, so its basically working as a space button. I searched up how to fix it and tried everything i could find online, but nothings working. Can you help me?

[@GDevelopApp]

You need to uncheck the "use default controls" in the player object's platformer behavior. And then build out your own using events with "key pressed" as conditions and "simulate X control" as the action. Since shift is one of the default controls for jump, to stop that from happening, you'll need to make custom controls. 👍 -Wesley

Could you make GDevelop mobile friendly or make it an app on the App Store please? I don’t have access to a computer most of the time and I want to continue making my games I’ve been working on.
