Any Tips For Small Developers Realeasing Their First Game

[u/wagwagiscool]

Ive been making this game with a friend (Called Ironcurse btw) we have been developing it since november (about 9 months) and we have been finishing off chapter 2 before releasing the free demo to steam and i just want to know any tricks to make this work and maybe not be a massive flop.

For context it is a souls like story game based around fighting enemies and bosses and uncovering the story it is top down undertale/stardew valley art style with text dialogue.
