If you’ve been a regular reader of this Tuesday blog post, you’ve probably noticed a shift in our marketing strategy in the past few weeks. This space used to be reserved for an inside look at what it’s like to be an indie developer working on this game – of late, we’ve been using it more for shorter updates about the game itself.

The game is speeding along like a runaway train, and although we have tons of work to do, it’s important to begin a crucial step in the development process: publicity! There’s no point in working hard to release a game that no one knows about. Expect to see Jack and yours truly on more podcasts, gaming websites, and YouTube shows going forward.

It’s not just that we love to hear ourselves talk. (Okay, a little bit) Publicity is an important part of creating a game. Don’t call us sellouts just yet! In the spirit of total honesty, here’s some articles that have been written about us in the past few weeks, mostly surrounding the hubbub about Play NYC.

 

Nerdier Tides

Thanks to Cecile Pauling of Nerdier Tides for writing this quick recap of Where Shadows Slumber! Cecile played our demo (multiple times, [0_0 ]) and the development build we showed off at Play NYC. I especially enjoyed this bit:

“Walking home at night, you’re always worried about the shadows that lurk near you. You never know what it is, but what if it’s the path you’ve been looking for all along?”

TechRaptor

Robert Adams of TechRaptor attended the show and we reached out to him beforehand. We actually did a long-form interview with him that’s coming out pretty soon. To tide you over, check out his full recap of Play NYC, below!

Contact Us For An Interview!

Okay, now for the REAL reason for this blog post. Do you have a podcast? A gaming website? A YouTube channel about gaming? Perhaps you have a blog where you talk about games, iOS apps or Android stuff? We’d love to be on your website. We really do need all the help we can get to advertise the game. In return, we’ll give you juicy details about what it’s like to develop an indie game. We may even reveal the secret of Grongus? If you ask nicely…

The best way to contact me is contact@GameRevenant.com, and we can set up a Skype interview, phone call, or long distance shouting interview. (Sound carries across water, so this works better than expected.)

 

Expect more short form updates like this in the future. As we ramp up development and publicity, we’re trying to focus more on working on the game itself rather than long blog posts. If we missed something important that you wanted us to address, just find us online and ask! Details below.

See you next week!
