Ideas for promoting Tremulous.

[Lonly]

Tremulous needs supporters, with supporters Tremulous can afford a better game engine instead of ioquake3, by getting a better game engine can give Tremulous a better chance of getting promoted and more people. Tremulous also needs to advertise.

[Kitashi]

I've been working on that on YouTube (video) and on my website (informative advertisement).  Thing is, the advertisements need advertised, which is why I said to just tell your friends about Tremulous.

[Ellohir]

That video has too much light. I play with this light and seems perfect to me.

[Kitashi]

I don't see why brightness is an issue here.  Also, I didn't see much of a difference between the two brightnesses.

Sure if you raise a few hundred million you might be able to buy an engine....

why buy a game engine doom 3 will be open source soon it would suit tremulous needs well. if trem was moved to any engine id prefer something free and open source.

ID has been bought by ZeniMax Media (owner of Bethesda), i haven't seen a statement if this has an influence on the GPL release of the Quake 4 engine....

i hope it doesn't affect ID releasing their engine as open source every few years.

1. Finish it.

3. Come out with an update every once in a while.
4. Finish it.

Waiting to cut out the deadwood.
Waiting to clean up the city.
Waiting to follow the worms.
Waiting to put on a black shirt.
Waiting to weed out the weaklings.
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors.
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain.
Waiting to follow the worms.
Waiting to turn on the showers
And fire the ovens.
Waiting for the queens and the coons
and the reds and the jews.
Waiting to follow the worms.

Good poem.
Nazi elements, but hell, good poem.

THe problem with conveying trem to the wider world is that people have no patience.
In a free game they downloaded, they want to be thrilled, have an awesome game, feast on sumptous graphics NOW.

However with trem, you download the game, you learn how to play, learn how to do all those small things that make you feel part of the community, find and download all those eye-feast maps, wait for that awesome game you play for a nerve-wracked and thrilling 2 hours.

All that waiting however, makes people who are used to just booting up a console, logging on and joining in with thousands of likewise people just seem to much for too little.












Therefore I propose we advertise Tremulous not as a game, but as a well aged wine.
And when 1.2 comes out, we can boast its been maturing since Plato pissed in a bottle.
Or stick with it as an Irn-Bru lookalike. <3 Irn Bru, that canned sperma/vita/dentacide.

I already thought about advertising tremulous and I think it will be usefull to make new players discovering it. If you do it principally on well-known gamer websites/forums, we may have many players of different countries. But you need to develop the concept , or give a direct link that explains all : This is a game aliens vs humans etc...
I think it can work nicely.

[Draconic]

Gonna try to upload some videos capturing the core gameplay of Trem; eg full 32 players action etc.

Edit: uploaded

What do you guys think ? I think I should have recorded it as a demo, then only make it as a video from there (the lag is very visible)

[Necrimonican]

           I suggest advertising on free game sites that's the way I have came to play a lot of the games I do today.
Just make a advertising bar and put a promo movie link to it that should raise your #'s a little. Or go public
advertise the game in gamer magazines a lot of gamers read those. Keep Tremulous alive and well i think this game will go down in gamer history Long live

[Necrimonican]

                 I have a Question about the advertising of this game
                 I know that you have it on a lot of sites to download but
                  do you advertise on other free game sites as a link
                 to your promo videos i click on a lot of those to always
                 keep my mind open to all new or old gaming material.

[Maximus]

promoting trem is stupid as of right now. What are we promoting? a game that has taken this long to release 1.2? People who come here will quickly leave when they find out about 1.2. Once 1.2 comes out then yeah prmoting will be easier and would actually work. Or promote when we have a set date as to when 1.2 will be released. You dont see gaming companys promting a new game w/o that game either being done or very close to being done and set to be released soon. As of now promotion is pointless.

[Cosmonaut]

I'll see if i can advertise on 4chan!

I really really really really really hope you are kidding.

[MitSugna]

Advertise in /v/

[IabzO.o]

Announcing that the devs aren't making 1.2 after all.

[Cosmonaut]

Well... we ARE anonymous, we're mostly legion, we don't usually forgive, and we don't forget very much. So people should probably expect us or something.

[Demolution]

Oh yeah, let's bring a whole bunch of idiots from 4chan over here to screw with an already fragile and rather small ecosystem. Great idea!

You will be the bulldozer to our Amazon.

                      I know that the arrival of 1.2 is anticipated by many but really this has
                     been going on for a while we have been waiting at least a year and personally it seems like its never
                      going to be released but when it does come out I'm downloading it as fast as I can. So still waiting
                        I hope 1.2 is worth it.

                                      Long live Tremulous

I would love for trem to get more publicity. Im gonna add something to my signatures on other forums. I always play at The University of Akron, and I cant even count the number of times that people see it and go "WHAT GAME IS THAT?!" and I say, its called Tremulous, and they go, "Oh, never heard of it"...it saddens me

[FisherP]

You wanna promote this game, release a fucking update already. The problem with this game is that the dev's actually have lives.
