Boards to pimp TNM when it's done

Post by **Jonas** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:28 pm

Just thought I'd make this list for myself so we don't forget to promote TNM on any DX-related boards once we release it. And why not make it public, so you guys can remind me of anything I forget? Here's a list of what I got:

PlanetDeusEx, obviously.
Through The Looking Glass
DX Editing
Always Black (if I can figure out how to post there)
GameFAQs
Eidos
Steam DX Forum
DX: Reborn
ModDB
DX Alpha
DX Gaming
DeusEx.pl (get Pointy to post this as I don't know Polish)
PC Gamer UK
RPG Watch
Game Banshee

I was gonna say DXE, but...well. We basically all ARE DXE, anyway.

But hell: DXE

Oh, and I reckon Ian and co. over at AlwaysBlack.com would get a hoot out of it, too (and they might not otherwise find it).

Excellent suggestions, DDL!

Added them both! Thanks

PCPP and LS (2 forums I know) will have this posted on them

Get Kale to make a thread in Games on Something Awful.
I'll probably post on a couple small unrelated forums I go to.

Ooh good call. I'm not adding those to the list though, since you guys will handle that for us. Right?

Sure, I can handle posting it in Games on SA. Jonas, will you have something for me to post, or will I have to come up with something on my own?

We'll have a press release you can pilfer from or post in its entirety

Of course I have no idea how the SA crowd feels about press releases. A simple "hey I played this it's awesome" might have more effect.

Viral marketing ftw!

I'd prefer to call it "your honest opinion". Obviously if you don't think TNM is awesome, just post the press release

The Deus Ex board in the Steam forums.
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/f ... 0f15&f=233

SA probably wouldn't like a carbon copy press release, though I'd probably be fine in quotes at the end of the post, including some screenshots and the OP talking about how he played it and its awesome. Maybe include an image of a magazine TNM writeup.

Ooh good one about the Steam forums. Especially if we get Valve's help making it Steam-compatible. Otherwise we'll make a post describing how to get it to work

I ll try and promote TNM in local game magazine when it's done. I'd like to persuade them to do an interview or aa review, in whatever order

I'll drop a bug with your links and say i'm "currently" doing closed beta test of a mod game made on grounds of a legend that came silent and went with a blast.

I know it's not strictly DX, but DX3 Forums?
Quite a few people post on there, it seems.
Also maybe planetdeusex.ru - that doesn't seem to be too inactive, not that I know any Russian.

Yeah, infect them with the mod. Let it spill over. In the end, they'll beg the developers to give the vaccine (SDK) for DX3

(intro out

)

umm, why can't it showa gif image in my siganture??
