A friend of mine directed me to this article written by a real life game journalist on getting media coverage for your indie game. Definitely a useful read for anyone who wants to make indie games that actually make splash (and you should be.)

I’m currently working on this myself for the game free online space game Starport. It’s been around for a few years now but we’re trying to get some coverage and help it grow more. Anyway I’ll share more about that game and what I’ve learned from helping market it later but for now get to reading this article.
How To Use And Abuse The Gaming Press And How The Gaming Press Wants To Use and Abuse You.

I had to share this with everyone as it is AWESOME!

It’s a game where you drive a truck around and kill feathered velociraptors. You also have a ball and chain attached to your truck you can swing around and clothesline raptors with. It sounds wierd but once you play it is just pure happiness! Best of all it runs in your browser… oh my.

Check out the video then hit the link to play the game.

I thought I should share this with everyone. The Penny Arcade guys got their hands on a John Carmack signed Nintendo DS that is customized with art from his Orcs and Elves game. Carmack’s a legend himself and this Nintendo DS is spectacular so have a look. Also it’s being auctioned for Child’s Play so proceeds go to the charity.
