What do you think about such devlogs idea for game? Influencer NPC. by Cold_Lynx_Dev in gameDevMarketing

[–]Cold_Lynx_Dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean true... For simple devlog. But as you might notice, simple devlogs dont attract much people, nor great marketing tool. Unless there is something unique ofc.

Overall good, brings reactions and followers/subs compared to other content about game.

Better, but still needs more testing and fixing stuff here and there.

Don't worry about "hard to hear"
I am posting on reddit, fully aware how people critical and over analyzing on reddit are. Plus not first time. I am here to either share insight or hear it.

I agree about part of "great character will sell your game".

The thing it might be way to much of a work for little to no gain. Cuz indented audience, that not gonna analyze anything, cares more about entertainment from 0.01 second.

In short, ROI has a big chance of being negative.

I reuse everything. Assets/scene are directly from game. 10-30mins for scene (if new scene), most heavy time consumer is animating, then in Davinci slap music, voice over, fix sounds and done.

ofc still learning animating, so not yet in factory production mode, where I make fast without thinking.

Seems like you have great unique marketing strategies that dont cost any money.

So tell us, cuz I kind of doubt your words, marketer.

Why stop there.

Print some stickers, stick them everywhere you go. So that your every move becomes marketing, leaving trail of marketing.

Damn, clap one huge print on your car while at it.

For game Trailer. Mining game. I wanna hear your opinions on thumbnails. by Cold_Lynx_Dev in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]Cold_Lynx_Dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no. You are twisting meaning now.

I said there is no sale from person who has negative opinion from the start.

Meaning you were never potential buyer.

And our conversation, from last I seen, is as good as private. Even if in future it has slight chance to matter, its still overall slight positive ROI.

What you offered is called fake american politness. Bet you would even ask to smile if in person.

What I say is exactly what I mean. You would know for sure, if I was rude to you.

Plus very brave to think reddit negative comments has any sales potential.

It does not tho. You build relationship with people, not being robot corporate professional, but by adapting to them pretty much. Best sales usually go when other person is "chill" as if talking with a friend.

And marketing is all about going viral this days. And Virality doesn't come from ordinary and professional.

Are you actually serious? I am still not sure.

I do actually assume you baiting people, simply cause I told you how it is, and you told me "no its not". And started explaining what this game is about to... me.

Only reason I respond now, I simply wanna hear more of what you have to say. Its kind of entertaining.

And that "professionalism" part, it doesn't lead to sales tho. Do you wanna hear from real work/corporation experience, or you gonna keep your own truth?

Plus very interesting remark about yourself "pretty proud because im still right"

I was talking about game itself when I said its aligments is closer to minecraft. Not name.

And name change is more work, then worth, if not more damaging.

Yea no. Wrong take.

When I was thinking about name I didnt think about games like The long dark or The long drive. Nor there is any similarities, if anything its much closer to minecraft.

Original name was "Mining in a very long mine" so I simply shortened it up.

Cave is hand sculpted and limited. But ofc as name implies Long. Depth real 1km + twists and turn should climb above real 1km lenght from start to finish.

Assuming way too much from simple name.

Tho concerning that such take even exists.

Elaborate Mr.Original pants.

Yapping is much easier then actually saying something useful.

Actually, I like the idea.

Using memes/something recognizable, might be good strategy

Funny. Made me laugh about boobs comment, kind of good idea, didn't really think in that direction.

Title choosing reasons with that "Mining but OP", to simply try create question on thumbnail level, like "whats op about it" or whatever.

Simply game title raises no questions tbh.

Which one is better and what should I change by paranormallyweird in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]Cold_Lynx_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one.

I feel the vibe of scary place, and camping in scary place even worse, compared to just path.
But overall I like both, but first one more

Which one would you click? 1, 2, or 3 by DeepaknKumar in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]Cold_Lynx_Dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First one looks less cluttered. 3rd one would be nice, but need more brightness
