Topic: DEV Zoom front page?

Nothing on the front page of the site jumps out to me as a visitor that says no more subscription only one time buy!

Re: DEV Zoom front page?

I wouldn't worry about the website being used to sell the game.  Chance of a random getting to the website who may buy is small.  Chance of someone who may buy seeing the game on steam...very high.

Benefit of steam if that its a great advertising platform.  They need to work on getting the game on steam front page as much as possible.  Do it by dropping EA (when its ready), then with a sale, then with major content updates (more than once a year)

I would just use the main site as a reference tool from this point on.

Good point.... But I would still place something there anyway.

Re: DEV Zoom front page?

Good point Gremrod!.

In regards the EA tag, I think it's a good marketing tool. There are many good games out there on EA and many that I have tried I have enjoyed. In a way it's an interesting way that you are part of a game and that can give feedback and help it grow, also from trying it early.

May put some people off, but many others like me like early access.

Re: DEV Zoom front page?

All I can say is promote the game any way possible. Advertising is pretty weak unless it is someone in game referring the game to their friends. I wouldn't be surprised if almost half the new accounts created that last more than a day or two are actually alts of current players.
