game development – Exbleative

Planned Tasks:

PR/Marketing (half the day)
- I’ve made a couple EXO ONE planet making-of videos but not really promoted them much.
- Post both on IndieDB
- Post a newsletter informing subscribers that new daily dev logs exist, + new videos
- (On the weekend I also posted the vids to the Map Magic unity forum)
- Force self to post them on Reddit (Reddit scares me, prob just cos of all the rules and all the touchy self-promo haters)
I’m thinking of also pinning a new post to my Twitter, which is something like, “here’s exo one (animated gif/video?), subscribe to the newsletter here”.
Continuing Planet 2 (the other half of the day)

“Wasted” lots of time getting the above image in my tweet to actually show up…! As well as adding Yoast and a few other sorely needed things to the blog.
Went down a marketing rabbit hole that took half a day in research
- Updated my PR/Marketing docs with a few things learned on my rabbit hole journey
BTW, promoting and sharing even the shortest article takes a lot of time, omg! Also, I hate pressing submit/send/share every single time.
Signed up for some game dev Slack groups to see what they were about
Since it’s now late I’m just going to do some Twitch ‘research’ and watch some game devs I noted down last time I was on William Chyr’s stream
Lol at the title of this blog post
