Hey devs, hey guys! I think i have an idea how to make Projecstealth better known to the public:
There are Millions and millions of gamers around the world, but the amount of people if the forum is only a tiny fraction of it... so heres my idea: We Advertise it in some kind of gaming magazin or simmilar, or maybe on a website such as gametrailers.com, of course some of you might say: we have no money!
There is a solution for it; donating some money via PayPal from all the fans to actually get the game a small article in some gaming magazin just before the proper release of the finished version of the mod. that would definetly increase the popularity of the game because it would be a shame if the game actually fails because there arent enough people to play it =(
If the devs would make some research about how much such a thing would cost we could have a target and i think most of us would be willing to pay a few dollars to see the gain popularity
Also i think we can trust our devs that they wont misuse our nicely donated money...
so what do you guys think? any comments? please let me know :D
(sorry for my bad english)
No at the "generic gamer informing". We'd better inform people who liked Thievery, PT and CT (maybe DA). Basically, stick to the people you know will enjoy it.
IIRC, PS is "From vets, to vets".
Now go search for potential players.
good point, a lot of people dislike the gamestyle and might comment negatively about the game, but i mean it wont harm... magazines and popular websites could also push the whole genre into a better light and make it more popular.
but i agree it has its drawbacks...
While I would consider donating to the project, there is no way in the world that I would give money to something that I have not touched. If others are willing to throw money at them based upon a few pictures and videos, then go ahead. For me, more content is needed before I would go out on a limb and put my money in the pot. Perhaps after a beta is released and there confidence in the final outcome of the game, I would donate for ads. Maybe others have more faith and I am alone on this, but it is too hard for me to give money to a cause when I really don't even know exactly what I am supporting.
There are actually indie companies based around the concept of users donating money for the development of the game. Can't recall the name, but there is this browser shooter (made on Unity Webplayer), it's somewhere on the UDK forum.
to promote project stealth i put it on my signature on my deviantArt account
I thought that PS has been in a magazine. It also had its own little booth thing at some convention years ago iirc.
I think you guys should only start advertising it once you've got some great stuff to show.
For promote PS I will post on a huge pc forum in my land a topic but when beta will come out ;) Then people will read and guess " Oh so interesing I try download " and maybe they will enjoy it so much.
ps will have no problem getting some basic media presence for free.

lol that made me laugh.
but seriously, i don't think we're gonna have any trouble getting some media coverage, as we've already gotten quite a bit when the project wasn't even that developed, such as the magazine article.

Two magazine articles :P
on gamescom it talked with a staffer from gamestar (biggest gaming magazine in germany), and he told me it should be np to get some coverage once it goes beta (but no chance before).

Fixed :D
so we need a beta to get in magazine
well those guys get lots of requests from mod teams and alike so they have to set some requirements to make sure what they write about is relevant to their readers.
