OK so Ive been spreading the word of GE:S on quake live recently
and already a few people have joined the GE:S community,
if you've been asking people to come play GE:s id like to know where ( what other source have you been telling people about it ) , ;D
if you haven't told anybody about GE:S , maybe you could start and show your efforts in this post
good luck spreading the word ( your efforts wont go unnoticed ) ;D
-
to get new players
And to keep them. Great thread idea. Yes, we did get 125,000 downloads, but we can retain a playerbase with spreading word efforts. So have at it community. Make us proud ;)
-
I did this:-

It go to 59 downloads, but for some reason my Megaupload downloads have stopped being updated, three mates have downloaded something else I put up and it's still on zero downloads, so chances are the number is higher than 59.
Can't believe it, just went into my Megaupload account only to find it's been updated. The total number of downloads is at 65 now.
-
ok good stuff , if you play other games try and make a post on there forums about ge:s
-
I know the owner of a retro video game store, Maybe I could plug GE:S there if he wants, Make some sort of poster or something like that.
-
yeah that would be amazing : any publicity is good publicity ;D
let me know how thing work out.
-
I've shown around 15 of my RL friends GES. All of them got frustrated and quit (except for one who only plays if I play too) because it isn't like CoD. Feels bad man.
-
Sounds to me that you need better RL friends :P
Problem i find is all my mates really enjoy GES, but we only play it at LAN parties (where we play it all the time). Whatever we do, this mod will ALWAYS be better on LAN, and these players will never contribute to a community.
-
have you and your friends ever played online together ?
maybe you will find it more enjoyable.
-
I've had up ~$400 in Facebook ads haha. $60 of that was a accident.
-
Major wins most crazy. Lets get some links up in here of what each of you is doing to promote GE:S :)

Haven't played in a while, but every time I'd step into CS:S gungame servers, I'd have this spray handy whenever I'd survive the end round. Usually forced a good 20+ people in a full server to see the spray each time, and I'm estimating 15-ish people went on asking me how to install the mod over steam.
-
lol, someone added a server mod for TF2 ego stroke prompts? Did it add hats that you can buy with real money, too?

quake live took my post off
-
I've been showing my friends for a looooong time (since about summer/fall of 2007). Now, I've gotten quite a few people to get the game. I don't know if any of you remember the TLP servers from the initial beta 3 release. I mainly just tell people via word of mouth and by other forums that I am a part of, as well as booting up the game on my laptop to show friends when we're hanging out.
It is always nice to hop into an empty server and see it get populated pretty quick within a round or two.
-
can you post links to the other forums.
-
Here are the links to the thread rather than the forums themselves:
http://www.nexusofgaming.com/index.php?threads/goldeneye-source.230/
Well, I can only get the one at the time, the other one's going through upgrades. I don't want to advertise one of the forums I administrate (above link) though even though it would be considered.
-
yeah good stuff / keep upo the good work
quake live took my post down cause it wernt about them i suppose
but hey-ho always other sources :D
-
The HL2 DM you need isn't free, don't fool people. You need the paid version of a HL2 game, free wont work. But good job spreading the word.
-
it worked for me /
b4 i bought hl2 i just used that free version of deathmatch for about 3 months , haha
unless theyve fixed that now, thought it would still work
-
i changed the deathmatch link to
http://steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/
free to all ati users ( for a limited time only :) )
keep submitting the forum links people ::)
-
Just a friendly reminder, twinky; try not to double post. The edit button works just as great.
I've also been tossing "GoldenEye: Source" up on facebook whenever I play. Don't get too many replies about it, but it's still getting the word around. Word of mouth's the easiest and often the fastest way to spread the word like that.
-
forgot about the edit button <oops> my bad peeps
-
I'm going to PAX East next month, and being a GE:S devotee for a year now, I will do my best to spread the good word. I'm thinking of getting 500 custom business cards printed up if I can manage a good design. Input on these cards from the mod staff would be nice.
-
that's pretty cool , cards i think would be a good idea :D
-
free to all ati users ( for a limited time only :) )
Limited time? I got this offer when I got an 2600HD 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure in ten years, This offer will still be available.
-
Yea well I figure a video game expo which draws 60,000+ people would be a good place to advertise the game lol. I'll post my first working card template soon.
-
cool, good stuff man.
upload them soon =)
keep up the good work

Is what I have so far. Could I have some feedback please? Especially from Wake, since she appears to be the PR person for the mod. Anything I should add, or remove? Change of colors? All feedback is welcome.
Edit: Sorry the image is so huge, I don't know why it is.
-
Well, one thing I see is that the icon is flipped around. If you could fix that so the part with the lambda is on the right, that would definitely start things off.
Another thing you could do is make the title of the game a bit bigger so that it's readable from a fair distance. If someone sees that, they'll be more drawn to it rather than if all the text is the same size and they can't read what it is.
-
Oh, thanks for pointing that out lmao. I hadn't noticed it was flipped. :D Here's the update.
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn115/osirisfour/GEScard2-1.jpg?t=1297820776)
-
I don't know if you'd want to make the title stretch closer to the top and the right. Maybe enlarge the logo a bit too.
-
Oh, thanks for pointing that out lmao. I hadn't noticed it was flipped. :D Here's the update.
I would love to use this as a spray in TF2 and CSS if you could make a smaller version. Unfortunately I fail at making images myself.
-
I can't make the text any larger because there are constraints on the image, for when its made into a business card. Pretty much a good cm on all side is going to be cut off.
Storm, I can get you an appropriate sized copy of the GES logo if you want.
-
@Sam
Great idea, that will be a hit
Critiques:
1. Use a different font overall. Don't go stylized, often times you lose the message when you add crazy font styles to what you write. Go with a simple Arial, Times, Bookman Old Style, or even Copperplate Gothic (one of my favs for artsy stuff)
2. Color. The red link needs more saturation, especially if you are intending to print these in black.
3. The Link. Include the www. in the link, it distinguishes it as a link and not more text.
4. The Image. Use a flat image, not a 3D image. You will lose any sort of perspective when you print the cards, plus it blends into the black background a little too much (read moar saturation/lightness needed). Use the following image instead: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/logo.png
5. The description text, make it bigger (the new font might fix this just adding it for completeness)
EDIT:
Here is a mockup I just made:

Thanks KM. I'll draw up a version of that on the template FedEx offers and post it tomorrow. I'm thinking of adding a line about the 80 achievements, since so many people are achievement whores these days. Good idea you think?
I've also heard tell that there will be a LAN section devoted to GE: S this year, and that there was one last year. Y'all must be proud!
-
im impresed with the cards , they look good so far ,
( you go girl lol )
-
I've put the Business card as my profile picture on all my forums, the writing is only just readable at close look but you can clearly see Goldeneye Source. I'll continue to post it on Facebook every day. I'm using KM's version as it's more visible, hope that's OK Sam.
-
That's cool man, doesn't matter much to me so long as the word gets out there.
Here we go. I just took KM's card and resized it to the card template.

Sam, use this one, it is not scaled weird (its from the PSD):

@MarkPeter
I created a smaller version of the business card for forum sigs and facebook:

Thanks KM, your input is invaluable.

Cool, cheers.

I added a little message at the end of my Q and A answers video, which will go out to my 1000+ subscribers. Apparently a portion of them don't use YouTube anymore, but I guess it's still pretty good publicity.

Some is better than none any day.

My order has been placed with FedEX. I should be getting the cards by the end of the month :angel:
-
I got the cards. I'll post images of them when I get them chance. They are SEXY :angel:

Hey I played against you last night what's up.
I know a lot of people playing this mod remember playing hours among hours of the original multiplayer.
I honestly like this more than the original game because I really like the team with many good multiplayer games.
Now a days it's hard to find a really close comparison between an classic and their remake though the closest one I got to experience is Resident Evil.
Sorry I am also an fan of Resident Evil and I got a lot of respect for this mod.
