My indie game has

​an invisibility cloak.

Featured recon mission

I built Altered Earth. Apparently, I also built an invisibility cloak. A slightly bruised developer’s field report on ad clicks, playtests, and finding actual players. Feel invisible too? Read the recon.

The 5GW Campaign Mindset

  • Define the mission: set a clear audience and campaign objective.

  • Study the terrain: research players, listeners, communities, and competitors.

  • Establish the position: give each game, release, and brand a distinct identity.

  • Coordinate the campaign: connect content, search, social media, and live coverage.

  • Use AI-assisted analysis to test ideas and learn from the response.

  • ​Measure results, refine the message, and adapt the next move.

Get Your Game Featured

  • Developer interviews: share your game and the story behind it with Steve Knight.
  • Free live playtests: send a playable build or demo for a Twitch feature, with the mic on.
  • Request a feature: email steve@5thgendigital.com with your game, links, and a short introduction.
  • Publishing pitches: include your platform, development stage, and the support you need.
  • Interviews and playtests are separate from publishing discussions.
  • ​Watch the show at twitch.tv/alteredearth.
