Hey all,
Making a separate marketing type thread since I don't want it to messy up the other threads.
I figure maybe in a bit (once we're a bit more stable) we should be looking towards content creators (streamers) to push the community. There are many content creators that focus on multiplayer heavy games, or strategy, or space, or whatever label you want to apply. Obviously the learning curve is a bit high and we could do with some specialized training sessions for them so they don't feel stupid on stream (this will get them to not play).
So, we have Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer (Microsoft's Twitch competitor). I manage some partnered content creators (read: people you can pay to subscribe to... basically the 'big' streamers) on Mixer. The focus on quality multiplayer/co-op experiences with their communities. There is a guy on the platform that almost exclusively plays space type games. I think starting on a smaller platform would allow us to grow the userbase and also get more people interested in the game while also beginning to look towards larger/longer matches that could be streamed and/or recorded for clips/a full game package for replay/rewatching.
Obviously, this may be a bit of a foreign concept for some of you. If you have questions let me know. If you have additional thoughts, please reply! I want to make sure that when we take this step, we're putting the best foot forward that we can. I'm turning on email replies as I'm terrible at checking forums as I mostly use Discord and other messaging forms...
