   Just released a new game. Where to advertise it?
  Hey all!I've just released my new game, Subvein. It's free, and you can download it right now and be playing in minutes. It's a top down multiplayer shooter and the target market would probably be males 14 and up.I've already submitted it for the Image of the Day right here at gamedev, but does anyone else know any good forums that I can post it on? I'm not looking to submit it to actual game review sites just yet, as it's not complete.. just popular gaming forums or on the forums of games similar to this one. Thanks,Ben.   
  I have some problems with promotion myself; I don't want to come across as "spammy" but I also want to significantly increase my exposure and try to get some buzz, even though my games are honestly not all that good.I had some success with MadMonkey.net and a couple of other portals. Every so often some review of Glow pops up (last one was on a Czech website) and surprises me.Also consider signing up for GDNet+ and using the GDNet Showcase - my downloads from here are almost equivalent to the downloads I've gotten from everywhere else, and you'll get development advice and a spiffy journal, discounts on stuff and avatar.You can try GameHippo but their approvals process is terrible, extremely subjective and slow. I had all of my previous games rejected after several months' delay in favour of clearly broken Klik & Play titles. Looks like GameHippo is no longer around.I also had some minor success trying to use GarageGames' Great Games Experiment; I didn't get a lot of downloads but I did get some exposure.   ;  Between posting on my site, two game dev boards (here and IGDA), and Great Games Experiment, I got a relatively high amount of downloads and reviews in relation to the low quality of my games.   ;  I had fun playing it this morning bencelot.  As your game is free you may want to try creating some kind of community based around your game.  Also are you going to be releasing the level editor at all.  This way you could attract people interested in creating levels for your game.   ;  Good game, Buster. The map editor comes with the game, so it's there and good to go. It's one of the options up the top of the menu.And yes, I definitely want to create a community.. I care more about fans than money. I just need to introduce it to people so that a community can actually grow :)I've been to Great Games Experiment.. but not for a while. I might go check it out now. Cheers guys.   ;  Very good game, I enjoyed it!   ;  Nice looking little game, might see if a couple of the guys at work fancy a play, see if it's fun [wink]   ;  Not forums but I'd try submitting toTigSourceIndiGames BlogCaiman& other indie sites.  Some are pretty popular.   ;  You might consider GameProjects.com. I know it's not a forum, but it does allow you to keep a profile that contains your projects, and you can post updates for your projects whenever you like. Each project has its own area for comments, although in general few people post comments.I've put two of my own projects there and had pretty nice success, at least in terms of the number of downloads.Great game, by the way! [smile]   ;  Love the game btw.
