I know we as fan base can do something to get the KS known… but isn’t it also INovae’s responsability to get those “big medias” attention?
Sure, sending too much e-mails about “check this awesome game” is better than too little; but will those medias react to a email from a “casual community member”? How can we say we’re not encroaching on INovae’s turf about how they want to handle the given information?
It would be nice if Flavien or someone from their team contacted RockPaperShotgun, it’s a pretty big gaming related news site that could bring in some new supporters.
I will talk to my buddy board gamer. Maybe just maybe you might be willing to do a short video.
We already tried and haven’t got much attention, unfortunately. Although they might have a lot of inertia, and it’s only the third day of the campaign, so who knows. All I can say is that as far as contacts are concerned, we currently aren’t in touch with any major media.
We contacted over 100 major sites if I remember well, and they were obviously on the list. No success just yet.
What might be worthwhile is contacting other popular “lets players”. They have huge audiences.
I have talked to around 30 friends/acquantances/colleagues at this point. All of them like games (I’m in a gamedev industry),
What has worked much better for me personally in terms of making people interested in project, is to show them the material in this order:
At first i showed them material in the opposite order, and it had much lesser impact.
TL;DR: most of people I know got hooked better on the prototype video, than kickstarter page.
Also, how about BBC’s Kate Russell. She loves Elite, wrote a book and done long livestreams on Elite. So she’s a space game fan already.
Best way to contact her is to send her a tweet on twitter to check out the KS campaign and game website.
I made my article on developpez.com, if accepted, it will be for a few days on the main page of the site. All of this is cool, but while there’s no much volunteers I waste my time.
JonnyRedHed you’re on Star Citizen and try to contact Kate Russel ?
Lucas what is your target ?
Mine will be “lets players” and Gamekult. If I-Novae is ok, I’ll tell them that they can play it by contacting you.
Is there any volunteers ? If we’re a lot, it could be a success.
I just did an interview with Flavien, in french, I’m editing it right now. Could be usefull for french speaking people/journalists who wants to know more about the game.
I’ll link it on developpez.com if you agree. Do you plan to post it somewhere on the net ?
Sorry, I’m not sure I understood you fully… volunteer for what?
Also, you can add an “@” in front of names (the site will suggest some auto-completion). This way, the pinged persons will receive notifications and see the post containing the ping (which is their surname ^^).
volunteers to target a media and try to make them react to I:B. Sorry I though it was obvious.
i am updating Elite dangerous thread and KSP thread posted some on space sim central
Seen some of you poping there from time to time. 
Now I get it, @Kamui ^^
I have just send the e-mail to “CanardPC”, I’ll keep you informed of the result.
Let me ping for you @JonnyRedHed and @LucasFIN so they can answer your questions in your previous message 
Edit: @DirkLarien, nice work, keep it going
