warzone 2100 publicity

[JDW]

I am working on some ideas for advertisement. If anyone would like to help out with any ideas, feel free to send me a personal message here on the forums.

Thanks for being open to ideas. And if I may put forward a question of my own, who's going to be the target audience? Gamers? or developers? or both?

[Christheturtle]

You can put forward as many questions as you wish. And both. Although developers tend to also be gamers, so they'll come as a 'package'. They play the game, they like it... And some decide they'd like to contribute a bit.

I had that coming

Ok, off to find my thinking cap and see if I can help you with ideas..

Hello guys,

I have once again updated the moddb profile with the latest version of warzone 2100 (2.3.1) for all the platforms currently available, along with a news post discussing the new changes. http://www.moddb.com/games/warzone-2100

2.3.1 is also updated on the warzone 2100 steam group http://steamcommunity.com/groups/wz2100

I have been slow at informing other news sites of the updates, but will continue to do so and would appreciate your guys help so post all the sites here that you have informed and/or updated with news or dl's. keep up the good work


also on the note of moddb i think that we need new or more members as part of the resurrection page so that it can be updated more easily currently there is only two DevUrandom, MuggenHor. Neither one has been on for more than a year. One of the things that i would like done is have the old version of the game removed because people still seem to dl the older version by mistake, which are much less stable than current versions.

Devu is retired, and Muggenhor is Giel's alternate name (and he's inactive at the moment). I'll e-mail them.

I have also gotten around to informing http://www.strategyinformer.com/ about the new release. (even tho they never respond, there are several versions behind)

*edit
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/war ... ter%3Bmore so how did are file reach this massive gaming site. I would like to submit the latest game version there but honestly I'm not sure how.

*edit 2

*edit 3
i uploaded the file to one of the worst file sites around yet one of the most popular http://www.fileplanet.com they also had some old version from back in 07 or w/e so this should help people get up to speed
*edit 4

Devu is retired.

Permanently?

Well, indefinitely. I mean, we're not going to stop him if he decides to come back, but he currently has no plans to do so.

[coolkid]

well the moddb news and update went live

also http://www.freewarefiles.com/Warzone_program_33577.html went up.

also it is quite popular at the 3rd most popular strategy game http://www.freewarefiles.com/results.ph ... =downloads high rating with tones of dl's.

Edit#1 uploaded to http://warzone-2100.en.softonic.com/ 2.1.3 had 22,048dl's so this is a popular place for files.

I uploaded 2.3.0 to softionic and they still haven't replied, so I doubt that'll work.

[coolkid]

ha i noticed that some sites have uploading service but they never respond or authorize. Its like they want warzone to be fractured between different versions.

Woah! 28,289!! Ten new downloads in about 14 minutes, impressive

28545 some sites must have bigger strategy game fans

you should also look at the progression of dl's over time in warzone release.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/warzone2100/files/ most versions show a trend in moderate growth except during the time where we had near weekly beta's (they were relitvly unstable and most people preferred the older stable version to play sp/mp.
2.3.0 major release shows a dramatic increase in popularity. while the uptake of 2.3.1 is lower due to being newer and not a major release. But if you notice the numbers is still large and rapidly growing. the next major release 3.0 i think is the current naming, due to its most dramatic change yet, dealing with engine graphical features and textures/model updates the dl rate will hopefully easily eclipse 2.3.0.

Also i think in the future i might right a article about the growth in popularity through time by checking sites versions dl's and total dl's.
I haven't done the math yet but from looking over sites data, i would say that there is at least 100k+ dl's on 2.3.x series.
