    [DISC] Promoting your Game - Reasons and Method

    Let face it, every once in awhile, FKG has a post with people looking to promote their game(s), and wonder where they can go to do that.

    My question for everyone is this: do you have a reason why you are promoting your game(s)? To get more people to play your game, get more traffic to your site, boast your mad programming skills, world domination?

    My second question is what methods have you used or plan on using? Pimping on Flash Kit Games and other messageboards, posting on popular sites like Newgrounds.com, good link sites like Jayisgames, game "sponsership" portals, or something else different (like making a game for some local band you like)?

    With that in mind, please post why you want to promote your game(s) (if you have ever thought about it) and the method you have used or plan to you.

    Surely, as a mod, you should actually be saying something constructive? lol

    In my case

    If I put a game here (and I haven't) is just because I want to read comments adn improve my games

    For self promoting well, I never think on that, I sell directy to the clients and my games webpage is for clients only, but everyone can play there, nowbody knows it

    Maybe in the future I will put a game in "miniclip" or "newgrounds" just to show my clients that I have games in games portals

    well, thats what I think

    All of my games have been sponsored, which pays pretty well (well, not making-me-rich well, but still). For promotion, I tend to just submit to newgrounds and a few other portals, and other sites tend to pick them up soon. Addictinggames.com is a site that brings in loads of traffic, and they always ask before featuring my games, which is nice.

    everyone wants recognition for their hard work and so do I plus it could land you a job or some fast cash.

    i'm a big fan of opensource as are many others, i love to learn off other peoples work and get inspiration from different games i've seen, when i post up a game hopefully i'm giving some inspiration to other people and that really warms the cockels of the heart

    that was the gay'st post i've ever written, thanks will

    Gay:
    # cheery: bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer; "a cheery hello"; "a gay sunny room"; "a sunny smile"
    # full of or showing high-spirited merriment; "when hearts were young and gay"; "a poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company"- Wordsworth; "the jolly crowd at the reunion"; "jolly old Saint Nick"; "a jovial old gentleman"; "have a merry Christmas"; "peals of merry laughter"; "a mirthful laugh"
    # given to social pleasures often including dissipation; "led a gay Bohemian life"; "a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies"
    # brave: brightly colored and showy; "girls decked out in brave new dresses"; "brave banners flying"; "`braw' is a Scottish word"; "a dress a bit too gay for her years"; "birds with gay plumage"

    I have usually mailed to Jay. Not only do you get promotion if its reviewed there, but I mostly like the fact that Jay has honest reviews. I mean there are loads of sites where every game has "superior gameplay", "never before seen graphics" and "hours of fun for whole family", but those sites are all selling the games and everyone knows the reviews are only for advertising. The fact that Jay is not trying to sell anything to visitors is quite unique and getting honest review for free is very important for developers.
