Hi! I’m a new to this, I never publish anythings b4 and someone told me never finish building the game b4 publish the game to Steam or Google Play. he said I should just publish a prototype version first. So I’m confuse about this. Is it true? If this is true, which part of my game should finish to publish to Google Play or Steam? And what to do after that? how is the workflow?
Why would you “publish” a prototype?
I’m actually seeing a lot of “X: Prologue” these days in my Steam daily queue. I think it’s done to gauge interest.
I dunno, that’s my friend’s suggestion when I told him i want to publish a game. So do you finished up the game b4 put it on Steam or Google Play?
I think it’s the word “publish” that’s causing confusion here. Your friend is right that you definitely want to share it before you put in the considerable effort required to finish it, to check that you only put that level of effort into stuff that other people actually want. (If you don’t care then don’t worry about it.)
That doesn’t necessarily mean putting it on Steam or whatnot. Just do something that gets it in front of a bunch of people who might want to play it and see how they respond.

We releae our game way too early, pro tip. Don’t do it.
Though it’s important to gain interest early, post lots and lots of little teasers on reddit and similar
