Hi folks,
sorry, i know it’s the wrong place to ask, but i realy need your help!
I’ve just finished a game that i’ve developped together with a few friends.
Now we have to publish the game. The problem is that we have (almost) no
ideas how to get the rest of the world aware of it.
The ideas we’ve had are:
- Announce the game on the usenet (and of course opengl.org).
- Asking at Shareware/Freeware sites for a link and maybe an assessment.
- Collecting informations about computer/games magazines and ask them if
they would:
1. Publish the game on the magazine’s cd.
2. Add a link from there website to our (not yet online) site.
3. Ask (how much it would be) if they would print an assessment. - Spammails. Improper, because most people (like myself) get annoyed of
spammails. I realy don’t like to use spammails, but i’m uncertain…
Would you use spammails to advert your game? Please let me also know if
you have any experiance about the successrate of spammails.
I’m uncertain. Most likely we’ve forgotten some other promising ways that
would get our game well known. Thats why i ask for your advice. So please
post a reply if you have any ideas that would lead to a few downloads more.
I’m also very interrested in links to websites of computer/game magazines
and shareware/freeware sites. Please post at least a link to the website of
your favorite computer/game magazin.
Any advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
