Ideas for promoting the game
2.4 is on the go, and once out I think it's a great opportunity to try to increase the playerbase. Anyone got ideas on what can be done here? Spam gameforums? ;P
One thing I think is important is how "newbies" (that might have played public for a while) are welcommed in pickups; I've personally seen how there can be a bit of grumpiness because one team "has to have the newb" = loosing. This could of course easily be avoided by having the newcommer play with all the best players of that particular pickup, which then balances the team. Something every admin should think about frankly... If we ever hope to have leagues again, the transition from pubs to pickups (clanstyle gaming basically) needs to be as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

What I'll try and do is post some flyers (Nice glossy ones) up in Fullsail's buildings, I gotta get permission first though.

The problem with marketing FF is that there is not one single theme. Most other well marketed games have a theme to fit along with all the posters and videos. FF does not have a central theme at the moment.
You dont necessarily have to change the gameplay in FF, just stuff like Menus, An opening video. Just stuff that will catch the eye of anybody watching it. Then blitz all known modding sites with the video, that also has a bunch of other gameplay of good players to go along with it. I can guarantee that you will see more players downloading 2.4 when it comes out if Fortress Forever manages to get a theme. Last edited by Elmo; 08-25-2009 at 05:13 PM. |
