Space Empires house parties! Direct sales. Turn all of us addicts into pushers. Multi-level commisions. A vast, world wide pyramid scheme with our boys Aaron and Richard sitting comfortably on the top.  
Ah, more and more like a cult every day. |

Re: Marketing SE V
We should all dress up as Phong/ Druk/ EEE and go hand out demo CDs in town centres and games/ sciffy conventions.

It would be hard to dress up as an EEE wouldn't it? I mean little blue bubbles?

Re: Marketing SE V
Well, if it hadn't been for a 3 paragraph review of SE4 Gold in PC Gamer, I would probably never have heard of the game. So the reviews do work. but if people miss that particular issue, or just glance at it, they still might miss this great game. Maybe some small ads might help, but I know that's an expansive alternative. Maybe in the future, when SEV is ready to come one, they could have a review. Then in the future, when MM releases patches, maybe they could be in the form of an upgrade or some such thing that would warrant another review in the magazines? Just a suggestion.

It could be a "team" costume. Each persson could be hiding inside am opaque blob inside the protoplasm. Or, a single person could hide inside the nucleus. Actually sounds pretty impressive if you could pull it off. Maybe you could get national TV coverage - that's the ticket!!

Re: Marketing SE V
Only way I found out about the game was through game reviews. I was looking for a good 4X game and thought Imperium Galactica 2 would be good, and stumbled across SEIV.
Got me interested anyway.
And never underestimate word of mouth. Specially over the internet. It becomes a marketing tool itself.
( check out http://gamerankings.com, good review site. Well, I like it anyway!) |
