How could we share information about our upcoming game?

put it here:http://www.indiedb.com/

Create some promotional pics and vids to get people interested. Make a few trailers, show off some gameplay, make a few developer diaries. Keep the people who are interested updated.

It will need to generate some attention to be reviewed by big outlets like GS, so generate enough hype for your game and maybe send the website or reviewer a copy of your game for free.

Sharing information with Rock Paper Shotgun and/or RPG Codex might be a good idea as well, get some interview going or some media released.

I guess you could ask Total Biscuit on youtube to make a "wtf review" on the game as he do have quiet alot of followers. Overall your best bet in the end is "word of mouth" show case some stuff here and there. Get people to try the game and show their friend and so on. If the game is good it will spread around the net quiet fast. If not well... You know what will happen.

Its made in a rpg maker program? You do know that the competion is quiet harsh around that market as anyone can make one there (atleast it looks like its a rpgmaker engine that is used). If its the case i guess you could post the game in one of the rpgmarker databases.

Have you tried putting it on steam?

Honestly there is only that many ways you can make a game in rpg maker and i have seen most of them. What you should try to do is like people said. Use websites, reviewers and stuff and get them to play the game / write about it. While this might be hard because its a rpg marker game someone might do it. No i cant help you talk to TB if you want to do something you need to do it yourself. Ask yourself this. Where do people go to get information about games. What do people look at? Then try to get your game shown on said places. Good luck.KalDurenik

indeed while im looking for GS's one i HAVE found a smaller fish you can talk to.. a small timer called game-debate

http://www.game-debate.com/contact.php

game-debate does reviews and are a moderate supporter of small time developers.. theyve previewed and review for the likes of: city-interactive (sniper: ghost warrior)(though not small theyve never really been successful), focus home interactive(the next big thing), spiderweb software(avadon: the black fortress), mamba games(lucius), shiver games(lucius), and team sigma (alien shooter), dejobaan games (a reckless disregard for gravity). if and when the game launches they may even system test it.

for publishing naturally id choose steam.. if there is ANYONE who will take an indie developer... its valve's steamworks

After looking at this..Seams to me its more designed for the ds or wii type game..Some thing you guys should consider..Might sell well on them systems and not the pc..
