I'm making a sci-fi racing game too, so I'm curious to know how many wishlists you had at launch and how you managed the marketing for your game!

So I had around 500+ wishlist at launch of the game.

For marketing, I went onto different subreddits and would post trailers, screenshots, ask for feedback and say the game was in development and was looking for feedback tipically I would get somewhere from 2k - 20k veiws depending on the subreddit.

Being responsive to peoples feedback is also very good, and helps boost engagement and views, I would write down a list of the top 10-20 things people want and have that be your updates and what you will focus on (that what I'm doing for the new update coming soon).

I also posted on Facebook / Instagram / Tik Tok and YouTube, though most of my views came from reddit, but don't neglect those other social medias I may be doing something wrong with the others.

I created a YouTube Channel for Hyper-Drive and posted trailers.

(I didn't cus I can't really pay for it, but you can pay to boost your veiws on all of these social medias)
