Start with game jam. I recommend to start with Godot. It's quite easy with a bunch of tutorials. I have done couple of game jams.

For a steam game you need to have at least 2 hours of playtime, as everyone will just refund it.

    I think you are asking for a wrong solution. Your problem isn't that users don't use your product, but you don't know why they don't use it.

    I would consider doing an email questionare as It bearly doesn't count as spam on very slow day with nothing to do.

    […]in a story I am writing in said setting.

    There is a trap that I sometimes stumble upon when reading books and novels. Authors are so proud of their worlds that they cram exposition at every opportunity, and it kills all joy from reading making it at most mediocre book.

    Parroting one tumblr post: "Write as if reader already knows the world."

    You have a character named: "Al Banian" Do you need an explanation for their name? no. Do you have one? cool, but under no circumstances should you mention it to the reader for the sake of it. If it will come naturally in the plot then sure, add the explanation as you already have one.

    Feel free to ask questions.

    Who do you write for? What is a purpose of your writing?

    On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel. The service XCancel is stopped until further notice. We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now. Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

    It looks like network traffic and steam survey data are very noisy. So it's every other month we get articles like "Linux hit a new percentage record" "Linux just fell down 2 percentage points, will it ever recover" The multitude of articles trying to click bait as much as possible is getting annoying after a while.

    You don't need a video. You need marketing & communication 101. During covid I am sure some professors uploaded lectures to youtube, or pick up the book if it's more your jam. Think about what you want to communicate to a person coming across your project for the first time. Make bullet points and rank them. Then begin writing including all the information in that order.

    A good readme would be sufficient. Go to some popular project and copy their structure of its readme in your project.
