Do you have any other tips and tricks for trailers? I yes write them down here.

[White Ferret Dev Chat @WhiteFerretChat]

I recently made a teaser trailer for #HIGHRUNNER so I thought I'd share some of the tips and tricks I used to make the trailer as good as I could.

4. Have a call to action

Tell the viewers what the have to do if they are actually interested or you'll just loose the momentum you build up with your trailer.
A call to action can be for example to wishlist the game or to follow you on social media.

If you never spend hours debugging for a stupid typo, you're not allowed to call yourself a #programmer!

Anyways after a lot of wasted hours my code is no working as intended🤦‍♂️

Some #gamedev things that dont work well on twitter are

❌long, boring or unpolished videos
❌long plain texts
❌asking question where people have to think a lot before they answer
❌Audio reliant tweets

If you want to get seen on twitter its not really important how many followers you have but what you post.

I looked through accounts with thousand of followers and even they had posts that got like 5 likes or something.

Focus on quality.

Some #gamedev things that work really well on twitter are

✅Polished videos
✅Polls
✅Asking question everybody has and opinion on
✅How it started vs how its going tweets

That also might be the reason why its mostly happening on mobile devices. Because of the smaller screen size the tweet is split in more lines and therefore is vertically longer

#gamedevs Whatever you do, dont ever trust twitter cards (this thing where a link is previewed) they are totally unreliable and if you're unlucky people only see a boring line of blue text instead of the fancy link preview.🤦‍♂️

This might happen because there is a vertical max size for tweets so if your tweet is already very long vertically it might not show the card to save some space.
