Wishlist Billy's Nightmare on Steam, it really helps us: store.steampowered.com/app/1640640/Billys_Nightmare/
Hi, added to the wishlist :)
I wanted to ask what was the reason for your mail ID to get blacklisted ? Was it because you mailed a lot of youtubers in quick succession? Did you use any auto mailing sites ?
@@yashkaushik6116 Thanks! :) I don't know what got me blacklisted. I sent the emails myself and not using any mailing sites.
It's inspiring to see how you always manage to get back up and push through whenever a problem tries to continuously knock you down. Now that I'm aware of these issues, I'm hoping I will be able to avoid most of them thanks to you when I try to release my first commercial game.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it inspiring :)
You need to calm down with the meme clips my dude.
It's surprising how many obstacles an indie developer runs into when releasing a game. Wish you the best with the game! Wishlisted...
Yeah, it can be a bit frustrating. Thanks for the wishlist!
Thats a problem I never would have considered, maybe if the emails had different text from each other you might not have been blacklisted?
Yeah perhaps, but I'm glad it worked out in the end
The grind never stops it seems! Keep it up guys, absolutely killing it, and the finish line is in sight!! 🎉
Thanks! Yes, only a couple of weeks left now!
That last part is my biggest fear :')
Yeah :')
This is good to know as I totally could see myself running into similar problems. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
My secret technique to avoid this is to just never advertise my game!
(It's not a succesful technique)
Haha I like your technique!
Oh man, this video was funny and interesting with the problems that can arise with game creation. I swear AI can get so annoying at times. I am happy you succeeded in pushing Billy's Nightmare out to others to try! I wish you the best on release day!
Thanks! And I'm glad you like the video :)
Excellent video, Jonas!
If you don't mind me asking, What was the website that you used to test your email?
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I used a website called mail-tester
@@JonasBroman Thanks! I'm sorry to hear about the filter issues, Glad to see that it was resolved in the end but I can still imagine that it was infuriating to deal with.
@@MasterBroNetwork Yeah, indeed xD
Boy, technology sure is something. I'm super glad google isn't spying on me or else I wouldn't have been able to find this video after talking to my friend about being afraid of ending up in a spam folder for when I start emailing people!
Lol glad I found this video though, I'm very afraid of this happening.
Haha xD
Microsoft Bob! I remember him from back in thr day! Good for sticking it out. Time to fix those doors and pesky fatal error.
Yeah, the doors and fatal error have already been fixed :)
Thank you! this will teach me not to mass email send a bunch of RUclipsrs to play my game. Well done video and I look forward to your indie game
Thanks! Glad my video could be of help
Stay strong :) support from my armchair. Good luck - lover your video.
Thanks! It means a lot :)
Billy's Nightmare more like Jonas's Nightmare
Haha indeed!
as someone who is hoping to become a gaming youtuber, this is good to know lol
Haha indeed
hoping to someday get to a point where people actually ask me to test their games like that lol
why didnt you just make a new email adress?
I used 2 of my addresses and my friend tried his as well, but they all ended up in the spam folder.
I found your email because it was sent to me twice for some reason. The first time it ended up in my junk folder, but the second time it was just fine. I also saw your comment on my video which I would've eventually read, but I saw the email first :)
My guess is that my email address got automatically delisted once enough youtubers had opened and replied to my mail :)
OMG... What a Saga!! i guess the solution was if you can't fight them, JOIN THEM 😅
Indeed :D
Y'know, you could've just started your own mailing list for your list of RUclipsrs. 🤨
Game looks cool, gonna have to check it out.
Thanks, it means a lot!
Another day, another evil AI to conquer. Youll get through all these Terminators soon enough!
Thanks! Otherwise, Billy and his nightmares will take care of the evil Terminators for me
Couldn't you just, you know... use a different email?
cool
Thanks!
What's your favourite video games
Honestly I don't have time to play any video games, I spend all my free time working on Billy's Nightmare.
When you done with Billy what type of game would you make
@@coolkenman Some kind of survival/crafting game would be nice. But since this game is 5,5 years in the making, I think we will make something smaller after this.
You know that one cancelled game about a woman and a rat what if you added them like the woman pet rat is missing and you have to find the rat and when you give the rat to the woman she will give you something like idk a key for a secret door or whatever you know something spy related idk you can think of something better
@@JonasBromanI made a Vampire Survivors clone. There's always room for more.
did you try buying ads for your game? im trying to get people to know my game even exists lol
Nope, we didn't buy ads and I don't know if it would've helped xD
I also ran into both these issues. Hope you guys can see my comment.
Ah, how did you solve the issues?
@@JonasBromanI also try to make my comments on RUclips interesting/unique. Most of the time I don't add a link or an email address when I comment. The emails are still a problem for me. I actually found that my emails are just ignored. I re-sent some emails 3 times and got some replies the 3rd time. Very random.
@@buttonsoftware496 Yeah, marketing is difficult :/
dude what the fuck
