[Hard] Do you read gaming news on any blogs or sites? They are always looking for tips, and there is no way that Cory and I will reach them all, or that they will listen to us. Find their contact form, or email address for tips and submit a tip about Star Traders 2 RPG. Use the short little blurb right under the video "Captain a ship, hand-pick a crew, and ...", and share that and a link but most importantly tell them what gets you excited about the game and that you think they should cover the KickStarter, and why. This is a HUGE one. I hope everyone will pick a big gaming new site and go ask them to cover ST2! Tell them why you are excited. One coverage on the right site could make all the difference. Andrew |

fallen's missing Cory so much, he's starting to quote himself! Poor Bro'. Seriously. I'm just finishing an updated render of the ST2 Kickstarter animation, Fallen. Wanted to catch you, before you posted the old one. I'll send you by email again. It's got a rotating planet, updated running lights, and more smoke. The ships also been properly retouched now.

fallen. You should have the new .mov file now. Sorry. I didn't give the email a title, so it's just untitled.

Yes, I am quoting myself, but I can't emphasize how useful it would be if you reached out to your game news outlets and the places where you read about gaming news and told them how excited you were about ST 2. For example, if you are a reader on the following sites, send them a quick tip about Star Traders 2 KickStarter! Rock Paper Shotgun Kotaku Destructiod Indie Gaming Mag Gamezebo BitPulse AndroidPolice Also, as slayernz was mentioning here (http://startradersrpg.proboards.com/post/100496/thread) if you do contact a press outlet, share that with us here so we can avoid spamming anyone. |

RockPaperShotgun, only do PC games, which is ok for you.
They WANT to hear from devs, but....
Quote from their "Hey Developers!", section.
"Also: a very important note on Kickstarter projects. If there isn’t concrete proof that your game will exist and do more or less what it promises too, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll post about it – we have to be very careful about seeming to encourage our readers to give money to something that may not come to pass. So, it’s probably not worth contacting us unless you have, at the very least, a trailer, and ideally something playable."
End quote.
Not sure what to do, in this case.
I'm happy to create accounts at the site, to spread the word of the Templars, but I need to know the best plan of action.

Cg - its very unlikely that two brothers could make 6 games across all the major platforms and make it indie game development. Thanks for reaching out to anyone you can!

Cg the Trese brothers have proved they produce with hos which was funded b kick starter and 4x which was funded by a community buy in from the forums. I think that should provide the kind of proof rps is after. I myself normally shy from kickstarters but not Trese ones. I regret I was broke as frak at the the time or I would have funded hos. I pitched in for 4x and have no regrets. Pitching in for st2 and praying it makes it.

Has ANYONE got a RockPaperShotgun account, please? They have an ENTIRE SECTION, dedicated to game promotion and KICKSTARTER promotion. I registered with them to use the section for TB's, but I'm not..... allowed to post allowed to create a thread allowed to reply allowed to delete my posts, (there's a @#&%*?% surprise, since I can't post anyway).  It SOMETIMES recognises my Username, logging in. I thinks it's probably my browser, (or RPS are not very good at admin.  ). IF you have an account with RockPaperShotgun, and can access the site. Please post the Kickstarter link and maybe the update with Martins work in. It may just give the Kickstarter a good boost. Thanks. |

Cg - thanks for the pointer, I will give it a try tomrorow! You're meant to have to post 10 times, to let admin see you're not a bot, before you can create a thread. This is NOT meant to be a restriction in the promoting a game section, so hopefully you'll be straight in there. |
