Hey there,

Will releasing two games at the same time lower the visibility of one or both of them?

I don’t think so. If they are your first games on this account, they might both go for admin review, so it might take a bit longer for things to appear in the search engine and such areas, but that’s about it.

Will In-game ads (promotions for my other games) cause issues?

I remember admins mentioning in the past that, putting ads in games is discouraged, but not against the rules. If you have to add ads, they should not provide a poor user experience.

Although from what I understand, you just mention one of your other games. I guess technically that’s an ad, but I’m pretty confident that shouldn’t cause any issues. I feel like it’s pretty normal to have a section in your game for who you are and what other projects you’ve made.

Cheers

Thanks for the info!

I'm thinking about releasing the promo game "Tesla8" a little before hand, and releasing the new game "Apocalypse Run!" after Tesla's been indexed. Hopefully, that will speed up the indexing on the new game a little bit.

I have it in Tesla8 where I can switch the promo on and off, and point it at other games, update the screen shot, link to new store pages etc... so it feels like an in-game as system. But it doesn't annoy me when I'm testing it, so hopefully it won't annoy players either.

(It can't link to arbitrary websites, just steam, itchio, gog, and epic, so even if my server is hacked, it can't harm the player)
