one of the most common thing I heard from indies is "even if a game is good it won't sell if nobody knows about it." thing is: "if a game is good, people WILL know about it." People greatly underestimate word of mouth power.

this doesn't mean you don't need to do any marketing/PR! BUT, making a good game is #1 priority to be successful in MOST cases (there can be exceptions of course)

I noticed this myself, having made many games of same niche/genre. I never did any special promotion for any of them and yet some sell 4-5 or even 10x times more than others. Why? Because are good/better targeted to the market, and people spread the word. Simple as that!

Replying to @WinterwolvesG @pcmacgames
It helps you're in such a niche market. The audience is more starved and actively search out the sort of games they want. If you're doing something more experimental, there's less chance people will make blind buys.

with the refund system, youtube, etc I don't think people make many blind buys. Depends also on price of course and other factors.
