<The1exile> email all the gaming magazines and ask them to review it <V2Blast> yeah <^ban^> ...not a bad idea actually <^ban^> someone want to help me come up with a template? :P <V2Blast> and also get an independent observer to try it <V2Blast> and then BM players could add details <V2Blast> maybe get Tom to contribute <Alanna_at_Work> I think we need someone who actually reads the gaming magazines to help with that :-/ <Alanna_at_Work> I'm sure there are some around <Alanna_at_Work> but I'm afraid I'm not one of them <^ban^> yeah <^ban^> any thoughts on what magazines though? <^ban^> because some wouldn't do, like gameinformer is more for consoles <Alanna_at_Work> well, I think that's part of what we need to know * Real2 is now known as RealUlli <Alanna_at_Work> I mean, from the people who read them <RealUlli> Hi :-) <Alanna_at_Work> RealUlli, do you read game magazines? <The1exile> Alanna_at_Work, most people don't because they're not usually cheap <Alanna_at_Work> I know <^ban^> help! my mouse wont click :( <Alanna_at_Work> though some of the online ones you can read for free <Alanna_at_Work> beat it till it pays attention, ^ban^ <RealUlli> Alanna_at_Work: usually not... <Alanna_at_Work> ...or unplug it, then plug it back in ;-) <^ban^> i'm trying <^ban^> damn optical mosue :( * `_` (~aquila@AquilaSilente.users.quakenet.org) has left #Battlemaster <Alanna_at_Work> ...though y'know <Alanna_at_Work> it might not be a bad idea to wait until Dwilight opens up to get BattleMaster covered in the mainstream gaming press <^ban^> oo <^ban^> good point <Alanna_at_Work> I mean, it doesn't hurt to line up all our ducks <Alanna_at_Work> get stuff written <^ban^> So does anyone want to start a pool for when that will happen? <Alanna_at_Work> convince Tom to accept requests for interviews <Alanna_at_Work> etc <Alanna_at_Work> the two sites that come to my mind immediately are IGN and Gamasutra <^ban^> so does anyone feel like writing a to-do list for this? :) <Alanna_at_Work> the former being, I believe, about as mainstream as you can get in the gaming press <Veritek> It has to be in print <Alanna_at_Work> and the latter being a game developers' site <Veritek> online reviews don't count <Alanna_at_Work> Veritek, I thought online *articles* would count <Veritek> I don't think so <Alanna_at_Work> not necessarily just reviews, but actual articles <Veritek> sometimes, even being in print doesn't count <Alanna_at_Work> well, either way, it doesn't hurt as part of a general campaign <Veritek> lke that one web comic that's also printed ina major nespaper <^ban^> IGN would count even online <Alanna_at_Work> and the more exposure the game gets in general, the more likely it is to make it into a print publication <Veritek> kept getting their wikipedia article deletd <Alanna_at_Work> yeah, I would think IGN would count <Veritek> because "it's just a web comic" <^ban^> so would Gamasutra <Veritek> Write a review or article, and get it submitted <Veritek> better yet <Veritek> ghostwrite an article or Tom <Veritek> and have Tom submit it to a gaming magazine <Alanna_at_Work> hmm, I don't know that that would work... <Veritek> like Game Developer <Alanna_at_Work> that wouldn't be *independent* coverage <Alanna_at_Work> which seems to be what's required <Veritek> Still <Veritek> it couldn't hurt <Alanna_at_Work> and that's why GameOgre didn't qualify <Alanna_at_Work> because it was player-submitted reviews <Veritek> most of the articles in magazines <Veritek> are written by the developer of the software <Veritek> all the industry rags are like that * Alanna_at_Work shrugs <Veritek> I think it would be interesting to have Tom publish an article about the development of his game <Veritek> as an independent developer <Alanna_at_Work> it would indeed <Alanna_at_Work> I quite agree <Veritek> and his experiences with the community <Alanna_at_Work> and I think it would be good for the game, and for publicity <Veritek> yep <Alanna_at_Work> I'm just not sure how much it would contribute toward getting it accepted by Wikipedia <Veritek> Yeah, I know... <Veritek> ~sighs~ <Alanna_at_Work> I'm writing a Wiki page right now to help organize this whole effort <Veritek> that was not suposed to be an exclamatory sigh... <Alanna_at_Work> I'm hoping some of you guys can help flesh it out ;-)
