So I recently became a mod for a game and was thinking about how I should promote this game to a wider audience.

Promote it passively - do runs, lower the time, build a community discord server and try to grow interest, pitch the game to a marathon of some kind (doesn’t have to just be a GDQ).

That’s really all you can do. Going around spamming a link to the LBs or saying “hey check out this great game” is more likely to get you banned or ignored because nobody likes that type of advertising.

What game?

@ckellyedits This game: https://www.speedrun.com/lavi

Games can only grow if people play it :)

Yeah, that's what I was wondering too, I'm programming a game right now and I'm gonna submit it when I finish and I want someone to speedrun it besides me. It's a low quality game but still.

this is a good forum since I requested a game I requested a discord and I'm hoping for a great community for my game when it gets accepted.

I'll play @Output

Is there any way to mute the game however?

@ckellyedits No, unfortunately and I don't think there is anyway to reset the game other than quitting the game and reentering it.

That's fine, I'll deal with it. Game is pretty fun so far

Have you tried muting the game from the windows mixer? It's a webgame, so just mute the browser or the browser tab when you're at it :)

@Riekelt it's a download game not web browser. But yes, thanks I forgot about the window mixer. Muted now!
