November 2015 - Starting promotion

Post by Nitram »

I think we all agree that at some point we have to increase the public visibility of Illarion. A lot.

I plan to finish the client integrated account system by the second week of November 2015. I took the majority of my leave days this year before this date in order to archive that goal.
Finishing this account system is the last real breaking point of milestone one. The remaining points of milestone can be considered not-critical. (they are still nasty, but I don't believe they make as much difference as the account system).

So this goes to anyone to is still interested in supporting the promotion of the game: We've got a date. Let's prepare. :wink:

----

Wir müssen die öffentliche Sichtbarkeit von Illarion erhöhen, ich denke darin sind wir uns alle einig.

Ich gedenke das Accountsystem das im Client integriert ist bis zur zweiten Woche im November diesen Jahres fertigzustellen. Ich habe mir den Großteil meiner Urlaubstage davor genommen damit ich dieses Ziel erreichen kann.
Mit der Fertigstellung dieses Accountsystems, ist der letzte wirklich große Punkt des ersten Meilensteins abgeschlossen. Alle anderen Punkte sind nicht so extrem kritisch. (sie sind trotzdem hässlich, aber machen keinen so großen Unterschied wie das Accountsystem.).

Das geht also an alle die helfen wollen Werbung für Illarion zu machen. Wir haben ein Datum. Daraus muss hingearbeitet werden. :wink:

a) Will the account/character creation via client be up and running by then (you'll probably want a link to the forum there, too)?
b) Since you are trying to get on steam, how about also targeting GameJolt and other trusted 3rd party sites (to host the client download)?

If the answer to a is yes and the answer to b is yes, you can expect at least a few hundred more players. But you'd have to be really dedicated on utilizing the news feed functions for both. And no, I couldn't do it, because in that case I'd have to be the holder of the accounts and have control over client distribution. It would have to be the Illarion manager (Estralis) or someone like that. Keep it in mind.

Cheers.

a) Yes.
b) Not sure if I will do that right from the start. I think pushing Illarion though Greenlight will be already a lot of work and I want to focus on that for the start to get it done right. But nothing speaks against targeting other sites. This may be done (shortly) after or at the same time by another staff member.
