Trying to advertise my game.

[BennyJackdaw]

I'm making a fatfur related game, and one feature I am trying to implement is to allow people to make characters for the game. I've gotten interest in this aspect. ...But so far, not one person has gone through with it. I feel like the only way I can get people to make people put their characters in the game is... draw them myself, and I'm honestly at the point of refusing to do such. I just... I wish there was a way I could find people and advertise my game out there to get my game known and said feature.

I'm not sure how you go about implementing your characters in game, but to allow people to make custom characters sounds doable with a LOT of hard work that you have to be willing to do. If you aren't, a custom feature simply isn't feasible.

Any real advertising costs money. It doesn't have to be a lot of money, but its never free. When it is free, it's not good advertising. I started advertising on Facebook for my business and created a website and shared content. Even then, it costs money for a domain and time to create the site.

There is no easy route to being a creator. If you want to successfully create you gotta put the time, work, and money into getting your dream working.

All that's really required is for someone to make sprites and for me to put them in the game. Nothing that fancy.

I know how to set up a custom character system, but I actually feel like it's better to have the characters be made specifically for the game, unless otherwise necessitated. (such as things like MM0's or more immersion-focused RPG's where everyone is their own character)

Advertising your game here is a good start?

I'm doing a little bug-testing, but I hope to release my next BETA soon. When I get it done, I'll post it in the right forum.

0h. I re-read the 0P. I just realized what the problem is now...if you want publicity for THAT kind of thing, I'd try somewhere more oriented to stuff like this. F-list might be a good place to start, though I'm not really sure how you'd go about it.

[BennyJackdaw]

...Just because it's about fatfurs doesn't mean it's R-Rated.

[George]

But it's still oriented toward a fetishistic interest. Even if it wasn't/isn't inherently sexual, it would be quite easy to find those interested in fat-oriented media by searching a site where this kind of interest is the main focus of user's presence.

It's a fetish is it not?

I used the term "fetishistic interest" rather than just "fetish" to avoid implying the creation is inherently sexual.

I think we're missing the point, here.
Dude's making a game, and from what i can gather he wanted to share it and ask if anyone here wanted to make any sprites.
Maybe it contains something that can be considered a fetish, that doesn't mean it needs to be sexual at all.
I'd offer to help, but... I cant make anything artistic

[George]

It's still on-topic, actually. I brought up the fetish site since even if it's not a sexually-oriented game, it would be a good place to find folks who will be on board.

[Dazed]

Fair enough. And with that being said there was a website where you could have people join in on similar projects, but me and all my friends forgot. My apologies.

If I made a game about bdsm stuff it'd be fetishy no?
