Title: Indie Games and marketing
Post by: grungla on March 08, 2015, 10:36:23 pm
Hey everyone!

We have been working on a little action adventure MMORPG over at Thrive Games called Dragon of Legends (www.dragonoflegends.com), and we are currently getting ready to take this to the crowd-funding platform.

I have never done anything like this, nor am I a marketing genius. I'm a developer. I can make games real good. But what's the point of a good game if no one knows about it?

So - I was wondering if anyone in the community has some experience with the marketing of an indie game. Could you provide some resources, advice, or if you did your own crowd-funding campaign, hearing your own take-aways from that experience would really help us out.

Thanks

I found these to be good reads. Maybe you've seen them already but just in case:
