GE:S Promotion. PAX East. Day 1. Day 2. Day 3.
« on: March 11, 2011, 11:54:22 pm »

Well, I handed out about 50 cards to random people, as well as leaving little stacks of cards here and there in the Free Play rooms available, especially the N64 room. This may not seem like a lot, but I did make one or two major strides forward in promoting the game. I spoke to Adam Sessler, co-host of X-Play on G4, about the mod, and gave him the GE: S card I had made up. He even remarked that the Wii version was shite, so who knows what might happen. I also walked past the other co-host of X-Play, Morgan Webb, while she was interviewing someone on camera, and I held up the card for all to see as I passed.

I have pictures of PAX if anyone wants to see them.

Holy crap that's awesome (used to be a huge X-Play fan back in '07-'08). Maybe we'll get some press with G4 (though i kinda doubt it).

Thanks so much for spreading the word, especially doing so much at a major gaming conference.

He was just standing around on the expo floor, we just walked right up to him. I got his autograph on the back of a card too. Tomorrow I'm getting the same card autographed by Morgan Webb.

I also kinda doubt GES will get press with X-Play, but my goal for tomorrow is going to take 3 minutes of time from everyone with a press pass that I see, and talk to them about it.

Day 2.

Didn't do much promoting. Sorry. But I can confirm that GES is there on their PC free plays, turned a few people onto it.

In other news, I played the demo of this game called Fire Fall. It's made by a mixed team of ex-Sierra and Blizzard devs. It was AWESOME. Also, Tribes 3.

Day 3 to come.

Edit: Changed console freeplay to PC freeplay. beer clouds the mind. PAX is awesome, I highly recommend anyone able to attend to do so, next year.

I'm going to do my best to promote tomorrow. I won't be around friends, so thats a step in the right direction. It's pretty against my nature to talk to random people, but I'll try. Besides, if I don't all those cards I had printed up will be a waste of money  :(

Thanks for reminding me Mangley, I've been meaning to do just that for a while now.

And for those interested, I've made an album from PAX on my photobucket account.

Day 3. SUCCESS!

I handed out about 200 cards I think. Spread them around tables, gave them to people. I spoke to half a dozen people with media passes about the game and gave them the cards.

Most of all, I went into the PC Free Play room and gave a card to every person playing there, and put cards in the keyboards of comps that weren't being used.

Over all, PAX was a blast. Y'all should go to it next year. The photo album I linked above has been updated.

Didn't know anything about red5 studio, good to hear news like this one :-D

It looks like there was lots of things to enjoy, hu? -_'
I went to the gamescom 2 years ago.
Really nice but one day was enough.

Great job promoting the game  ;)

I believe this is one of the better ideas, and having a reward for IRL promotion may spur more people to do so. Maybe some west coasters will promote at PAX Prime, etc..
