One answer: game jams, events when you squeeze a game out of sleep-weary eyelids in 48~72 hours. 

Big yearly ones such as GMTK have thousands of entries. Hundreds of people get to play your game when they rate it. If your game gets the highest ratings, it's permanently displayed on the jam results page. Even if it doesn't, you get to improve your gamedev skills, get useful feedback from other game developers, and get a prototype out extremely quickly. Big indie titles such as Celeste and Baba Is You were first made for jams. 

Check out the itch.io jams page to find jams you'd like to participate in. I'd personally recommend starting with Mini Jam, which runs for 72 hours every two weeks. Here's a video on participating in game jams.

Your project seems to have a really large scope, and a jam would help to limit that so the core mechanic of the game is made as fun as possible.

Ofc don't underestimate the cost to your sleep schedule and sanity, but as someone who has made 10 games for jams I don't regret signing up for them.

If you want more views try making small quality games (or downscaling your games to micro games) 

If you make smaller games you won't feel like you've lost time when you deem it a failure and making a smaller project can teach you so much more about development. 

I feel the same way. It's not your fault. Even if you put in lots of time and effort into your game, its most likely not going to get recognized. It's mostly luck, but it's also just how things are in the current climate. People only want to play certain types of games. New or innovative games might get passed up for games that a proven to be more popular. I hope that your game gets the recognition it deserves. Best of luck.

as with any art, you’re not gonna make it ever. i’ve accepted that fact. it isn’t even that big of a pill to swallow.

It's kinda expected tbh. You have to go into making games with the expectation that it'll probably not get much attention. So when it does, you're pleasantly surprised. And if it doesn't, well you were prepared for that outcome so the disappointment is more manageable.

Just never give up. My first game took almost 2 years to even get to 280 downloads. My newest one got to that amount in just over a month.

It'll get easier the more you try.

just make coomer games and you'll get a bunch of click in a secound. (if you need a easy mode off course)

if not because you have dignity, maybe the illoominati leader named pewdiepie can help.

idk im at the same boat m8
