Does anyone have any suggestions where I could go looking for fans? I'm making a text editor/game where you write text documents with tentacle arms. Learn ritual magic based on what you write / activate machines by writing. I've got about 1400 followers on twitter, had a few semi-successful posts on reddit. Tiktok did less well. My weathervane is currently pointed towards doing more on YouTube. Enough people have downloaded the demo on steam that a few novels worth of text has probably been written with it, so that's fun. I'm not at a point where I can discern my count of who is a _true fan_, but there's probably a few in there.

If it's a game I wonder why you tried TikTok but not Twitch? That would probably need more time involvement than TikTok but most game livestreams are still on Twitch. Although from your description I'm not sure how much of a spectators game it is.

  In order to extend the runway of a self funded solo development text editor rpg game, I moved into a barn. The upload from my martian rover rusty can antenna is not sufficient for live streaming, however, I can wait several revolutions of the daystar for asynchronous uploads. Starlink was supposed to be my enabler and savior, but Elon betrayed us because my barn isn't a boat or a plane I guess. My easily accessible options are youtube/twitter/reddit/ + light a candle for twitch someday.

You will want to go where people already hang around. There are many sites where people interested in some topic are constantly refreshing the page looking for something interesting/helpful/useful/entertaining/etc. Find those places, help as many people as you can, and build a name for yourself there.
