Advertise lugaru and overgrowth on fur sites.

Post by tannim » Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:04 am

I know the games aren't, technically speaking, specifically for furries, but they'll be quite likely to want to buy/pre-order them as the games are quite closely related to what they like content wise.

Games don't have to be dirty to be popular with them either, that's just a fun bonus if it is.

Many do have money to spend and games with anthropomorphic animals should do well with them.

http://www.furaffinity.net/ is currently a large site with a lot of users.
http://www.watchtail.com is a streaming site similar to live stream
http://www.sofurry.com/ also has ad space for a lot of users to see

I don't know if there was already a topic here, I didn't look and figured I'd type up a fresh one anyway even if there was.

I don't think Wolfire does the usual old kind of advertising where you pay money to get ad space. I think they rely more on word of mouth and that kind of stuff. So if you wanna advertise OG on those sites by making a post or on the forums or something then I'm sure Wolfire would very much appreciate it. :)

The only issue I see with ads (in general) is that Overgrowth is still an Alpha: usually it's better to start advertising properly when the game hits the beta stage, so that potential customers will know that the game is almost finished.
For the moment my opinion is that word of mouth, videos and maybe even preview articles are better than a real advertisement campaign, at least for now. :wink:

Well, I heard some of them don't like it because... I dunno, something along the lines of "Oh noes they hurting all the cuddly fluffybunnies and woofies they are evil"

If you threw in some hot coffee you might get them interested though (*shot*)

Of course there are the others. A certain someone kept going "I can't wait until the game is released so i can live my bunny fantasies" or something like that.

o_O

But hey, more money for Wolfire, and potentially more advertising without having to do it directly
