200% increase in user sign ups over the weekend
As a solo founder with no background in sales and marketing, I'm a bit used to shouting into the void. What I didn't actually expect was for anyone to listen.
On Friday, I had 14 user accounts in my game. This is someone who has installed the app and registered for an email account. Danger World has had accounts for about a week now, and this is excluding the "Apple test account".
I made a post to /r/rpg_gamers and was surprised to find Saturday morning that not only was it upvoted, but it's still on the front page.
I got more user accounts out of this post from people trying out the game than that post got upvotes!
Since I posted that, we've gone from 14 to 42 accounts. That's a 200% increase!

Hey Anthony,
I'm glad that my tip helped. I suggest you to periodically repeat all the strategies that worked, without becoming too spammy obviously. Maybe post when you have some updates. How frequently should you post? That's hard to say, I would start once a month and evaluate.
Other subreddit that can help you are r/sideproject, r/imadethis and r/shamelessplug. The most successful posts usually have some backstory or advice.
Awesome job, man! Keep hustling, and really glad that reddit was receptive to your idea. I know it can be really hot or really cold to some people.
Also good to see another ATX IH-er! :)

Thanks for trying it!
After your avatar is created, you should be looking at the home page of the app and ready to go.
It seems like it didn't have a name saved for your avatar. Did you enter a name and it not save the name, or was it just not clear that you need to interact with the name field? Either way, my (new) onboarding definitely needs refining, so I appreciate the feedback!
I put your IH name in as an avatar name for now, so it should let you move on in the event it wasn't saving.
I don't currently have a webapp version of the game available, but it will be returning at some point. There's a mailing list you can subscribe to over at https://danger.world or an RSS feed at https://danger.world/rss.xml if you want to be notified about when that comes out.
