Part three of the series. If you’re serious about trying to help promote developers and their games, you need to come up with other ways to “add value." This article talks about a range of content creation strategies above and beyond the review.

I’ve been a game reviewer and curator for some time now and often find myself mentoring budding game developers as they release their first games into the world. I know finding reviewers can be hard, cold contacting can be very uncomfortable and confronting, and there are a few other traps for young players. So I thought I’d do my part by writing this article, in which you’ll find a compilation of the advice I find myself giving time and time again, to make it more readily accessible for indie devs. I hope it helps!
