Hey folks,

It would be helpful to have a "press kit" that we can give to big sites like 1UP, as well as fan or community sites. This would be a .zip including all released screenshots, concept art, features, press releases, logos, our game font, etc.

Do you guys feel like getting this started? Most of this stuff is available on the site (except the logo/font which I can add).

sure i'll get on it.

By features, do you mean you want a .txt?


*edit* ok heres one before i get to work, i'll work on it more tonight if i can find more media. Give it about 30 min to upload, my uploads not the best :/ click

Includes videos of prop design and the infestation, all the released concepts, some banners and such, links to good info for a article.

Heh, I already have it all stored on my laptop. Throw out that logo and font, and I'll send it your way.

Somebody help this guy. I have some sites waiting on the press kit.

*bump*

I've been very busy, but I think can now devote some regular time on the weekends to helping DrFuzzy on this project. We live in the same city FFS, we just need to swap cellphone #'s. I have my cellphone on me almost always.

Let me know if you need me. (sending a PM just in you don't see this post)

Ok, public update: Press kit preliminary example was sent by DrFuzzy some time ago and Flayra neither replied nor acknowledged the e-mail was received. This topic is most likely dead.

REJECTED!

An optimal press kit would require additional resources that aren't available on the site. From the marketing research I've been doing, there seems to be a big trend towards including stronger web assets and resources, but even before that, there are no screenshots, no clear gameplay element documentation, etc.; I'm inclined to say that it's actually too early to release a fan kit, unless the team is planning on releasing the game very soon after a large media blitz.

agreed. need more solid stuff, not a compilation of what's been haphazardly released.

Yes the community needs more concept art logos and font's, please post more Flayra. Using Drfuzzy zip of things from this site I hacked some images with ps.Being almost every hl2 mod out there uses the hl2 logo I made yet another one I'm sure there are many creative gammers out there who can help make NS2 rock .

Any chance to get a copy?

Flayra,

Hi first post. Long time NS player first time player.

I work in marketing with my company, we also deal with the online gaming market. I am not sure what kind of budget you have to work with when it comes to your advertisement that you would like with ZDM (1up/egm/filefront/mycheats/etc.) as you state in your first post. I have worked with them a few times and have quote lists as well as many various other ways to get income without charging players money and using this income to further promote you via those services.

If you are interested in this let me know. I would love to see NS2 get huge to the public and have a few ideas on how to get the lowest cost marketing which with enough player support would pretty much pay for itself. Normally I don't share trade secrets, but I know that your company is not run by P2P so any type of cost reduction would be great.

Let me know if you would like to hear from my side and help. Id be more than happy to assist you with this.

He never sent it to me, he sent it to Charlie.

I could ask him when he calls me back on the cellphone if he could send it to me as a .zip file that I could then upload to my site for anybody who wants to download it.

Sorry in advance for double-posting.


1. Hello & welcome to the forums hiloboys! Don't forget to read the stickies!

2. Could you provide more information? What company? What's your public contact e-mail? (sorry, but I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering if you are for real, no offense meant (and taking offense makes you look twice as suspicious))

3. Long post? Nay, just take a look at my average post. LOL

4. In case you haven't noticed from this thread's context, Charlie "Flayra" is a notoriously difficult person to contact.
(much of that is due the fact that he's honestly busy as hell trying to run a new company and produce a large commercial game with a lot riding on it and a lot of demanding features to improve or add)

Yes I have no problem in giving you my email address If you would like. I however will not post it publicly to be seen. I can send it to you via messaging on the forums. You can contact my business line and / or my official email address in order to verify any information or questions as towards my legitimacy.

Let me know if you have any further questions on this. Thanks.

Try those contact links. If you can't get a hold of a developer try to contact a moderator.

Haven't gotten those contact links from ya yet. Could you send them to me either email or personal message on forums? I would like to speak with one of the members in charge of this. Thanks

Ooh and let whomever you can contact know that I have found a way to get a ton of advertising for free technically. It would be no cost to UW but it would require some cooperation. Let them know that ill fill them in on further info after I get in contact with them. Its similar to what my company did to get 20m hits in less than a week from gamers.

Thanks

Well no reply for a few weeks now so I am guessing that my services are not needed. Its alright, could have just told me instead of ignoring me. I am not a child I can take a no thanks or something similar of that nature. I was just offering to help.

Well good luck with NS2 and i'll be sure to be playing it and hosting many servers of it as well when it comes out just like our old NS servers. Thanks =)

Umm, I just don't think anyone was informed. Don't take it personally.

I think they would be glad to have your help, they just haven't seen that you're offering it.

Also I don't think they're ready for it. They'll probably start a PR push once they're closer to a release date, but if they start it too early it could be detrimental. I'm sure they'll take all the help they can get once they're in a position to use it.
