public cible : comment le trouver ? - Valentin Thomas Trouver son public cible, mission impossible ? Ici je vous donne des pistes pour trouver vos premiers fans.

Le jeu vidéo est-il une forme d'art ? J'en suis convaincu. Mais forme artistique ou pas, le jeu vidéo est malheureusement, comme pas mal de choses aujourd’hui, aussi un business. Et ça, c’est indiscutable.

Quelques billes dans cet article pour trouver son public ! #indiedev #gamedev #marketing

Nouveau à la MJV : sessions d'accueil via discord et en physique !

Si tu ne sais pas ce qu'est la MJV ou que tu veux juste passer un bon moment entre passionés du ZQSD et du pad, on se retrouve le 22 avril à 20h30 sur notre discord (lien dans notre bio).

Ce ne sera pas la seule, restez branchés !

Our brains aren’t wired to find prices because well, prices are concrete numbers but they sometimes are kinda absurd. Especially in cultural industries. When I smoke (because yes, I’m French), I create crazy stories in my mind, about myself saving the world one way or another. How much is it worth? Priceless. And I can do that whenever I want, for free. Yet, I’m ready to pay 5 to 80 euros to play games that do exactly the same thing, but I’m playing alone, I’m probably gonna face narrative shortcomings, potential bugs and technical limitations and I can’t write the scenario myself. But still, I feel like it’s money well spent. Prices are absurd, I tell you. But there are ways to find out what your price is.

Thoughts about game pricing.

Here's an article giving you some ways to find your price (not the one, just some).

You’re welcome! Give your baby that cute outfit that will make it loved by many. And make it grow so it will attract friends like a magnet.

But enough with metaphors, if you make your game marketable from the very beginning promotion will be easier :)

Sorry for the typo. Bloody autocorrect!

What is game marketing? Marketing mix Part 1 : Product - Valentin Thomas Game marketing is not just promotion, ie tweeting around and sending keys for outreach. It's also product, price and placement.

Game marketing is not just posting around and contacting press and influencers. It's a thoughtful process than should being before you write a single line of code or draw any piece of art.

Discover these ingredients (not a recipe) to make more marketable games!

Thanks for your opinion, I've tweaked the article accordingly. Maybe the forum analogy is a little outdated too, but it's what struck me the most when I saw the structure of the platform

I see your point, so according to you each subreddit would be its own forum with threads in it placed in a feed?

Reddit gaming section exploration: notes after 111 days (reddit 101) You've heard of reddit for gaming, but you don't know what it is precisely. This is a short introduction to the platform, for beginners.

If you've heard of reddit for promoting your game but have absolutely no idea what it's about, here's a handy travel journal through this magnificent place for indie devs.

I'm looking for feedback, feel free to shoot me a comment to let me know what you thought!

C’est bien expliqué, bien documenté et je ne vois pas le problème du jeu d’acteur ça me parait naturel.

Après l’intro manque un peu de peps (dans une formation on me disait qu’il fallait envoyer dans les 30 premières secondes) et il y a 2-3 trucs que je comprends pas (niveau montage) Sinon gg !

I’m lucky my cat is afraid of jumping too high, she’s a walker so it would do something like affghyjjjm

Pour le bruits blancs oui, et très rarement j’ai des sifflements aigus sur une seule oreille pendant 5-10 secondes. Pro tip : si tu bouges la tête et que le son bouge avec toi, c’est des acouphènes et pas le frigo (ou alors tu as un casque ^^)

C’est peut être parce que tu es compositeur aussi, je comprends que ça soit menaçant. Mais oui vis ta vie et fais des trucs, tu arrêteras d’y penser assez rapidement je pense

Par curiosité, vous les avez eu après quel évènement vos acouphènes ?

J’en ai depuis que j’ai 16 ans (groupe de rock adolescent oblige) mais je ne les remarque que très rarement. Au début ça m’a beaucoup fait flipper, et puis c’est passé. Perso je vis assez bien avec depuis. Par contre tu es allé à un concert ou écouté de la musique fort récemment ?

Rich billionnaires about to rule the world like in the James Bond movies, check. Now, where and who is our secret agent?

Tu as quoi comme acouphènes ? Moi c’est genre une télé cathodique sans chaîne qui grésille de temps en temps. Ça revient souvent quand j’essaie de dormir et c’est le pire

Not my parents, but my grandma. And she reacted even more enthusiastically than the most nervous streamer today when I played super mario on Super NES!

3D gave her headaches though, but the dimension she added to 2D games was way deeper than what N64 had to offer.

Yes opposed to the underscore!

Isn’t it technically statistical calculation turned into bullshit though ? :D

I like the particles looking effect ! Simple is good though, it will highlight other strengths of your game :)
