Okay, i have a giant question, how do i get my projects to get more views?

Like, what day do i upload my game, and what time?

I uploaded my first game on Thursday, and it got 1901 views! on Friday, it got a pathetic 4 views

So now what? please, tell me!

May I recommend advertising on social media and not just on itch.io?

thx

New games get attention; however, all games after launch start flatlining.. it's something you have to deal with as a dev.

Yep, Welcome to the club pal. XD. But yeah, that's normal.  Some things you can do is announce your games in other forums, platform, etc. A YT trailer, dev log, etc can help as well. It's not like you will have tons of views/players without a community or followers. I will suggest you just limit to enjoy the process of making games, take it as a hobby and upload things from time to time (even if they are not games). 

Good luck. :-)

It's pretty common; new games usually get a boost from the algorithm and flatline quickly. Now is the time to advertise; any forums, logs, or announcement pages for things like that would definitely help a lot. Advertise and get your game out there and collect feedback and implement it and you'll be well on your way.
