Title: Where to advertise (A bitcoin game)
Post by: chrusso on October 17, 2018, 09:13:34 AM
Hi, we have been working during the last 4 months already in a multiplayer bitcoin game. We're close to finish the development. If you want to take a look:

http://bitofwar.com/
Or feel free to play the last demo at https://playground.bitofwar.com/
Or the previous release at https://play.bitofwar.com/

The question is:

Where can we advertise a bitcoin game nowadays?
Is it possible to advertise on facebook?
What about twicth?

Finally, does someone have experience in this matter and would like to help?

Chris,
Feel free to call: +54 911 3939 3710

Oh so it's connected to blockchain :o, interesting! but i'm really at loss on how it works haha. Maybe you guys could add a "HOW IT WORKS" or FAQ page? I'd like to get briefed first before I try playing the game

As for your question, from what I know facebook loosened their rules on crypto ads so in order to advertise there, you need to submit an application. And idk about twitch, sorry
For now, I recommend you to polish an ANN thread. Also, if you could run a campaign here, that's better

btw, tried to join your discord group but there's nothing :/

Thanks for all the feedback!!!

#1 Would you mind to explain me a bit more in which section of the forum I should create the ANN Thread?

#2 Would you mind to tell me where is the broken Discord link? Here is a working link: https://discord.gg/Un7CyV

How does the game work?

1) Registration is free and open to everyone.
2) Players spawn a tank in a battlefield and play against another players.
3) Win 1,000 bits for each player you kill.
4) Transfers are made directly into private, in game, wallets and money is free to withdraw at any point.

Needless to say, if you are eliminated, you also lose 1,000 bits, which are automatically and directly transfered to the player who killed you.

Since I think using ads on most social media is currently difficult, I suggest:
  • Posting a thread about your game here on bitcointalk(and make it a good one, not a text-only thread without enough details)
  • Paying a crypto-related website to place a banner of your game up on their site
  • Advertise through crypto-related ad networks like coinzilla etc(not affiliated with coinzilla)
  • Advertise here on bitcointalk [1]
  • Probably a signature campaign?

Post it in the Gambling section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0) because there's money involved.  

Finally, does someone have experience in this matter and would like to help?
You can hire someone in the services section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) who can help you with advertising your game. Also you can utilize your signature space to advertise your game since you're a  Jr member.

I tried the game for a few minutes it looks fun if there's a lot of people playing the game. You might have to put some bots though because not all users play at the same time.

I’d say an announcement in either the Announcement section under Maretplace or the Gambling section would be an appropriate place to advertise your game on this forum. Signature campaigns can be costly, but contacting any campaign manager like yahoo62278 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=355846) should help you get an estimate of how much a campaign might cost. If you do choose to go with the campaign route, I suggest paying in a major cryptocurrency like BTC or ETH; paying in alts or tokens turns away potential applicants.

Did anyone try to advertise with the signature campaigns as mentioned? How was your experience?

Hi, mjglqw. Do you have any experience with Coinzilla? Sounds like it could be interesting. We're gonna prepare as well a proper introduction post to publish here once we finish the development.

I personally don't, but there have been a few decent crypto-related sites I've visited in the past that's using Coinzilla. I really don't remember what sites those are though. Anyway, I took a look at their site in the past; it looks simple to use enough I think. Check it out.

I'm not an advertiser but results do vary depending on how many participants you've got and the product itself.

I see that your game is a tank game, the latest type of advertising with games is through sponsoring a team / a player / a streamer that's close to the theme of your game. The closest game that I know is world of tanks, you can hire or sponsor any of those that I mentioned putting your banner on their stream or adding it to their usernames.

I also see some youtube sponsored videos that is including the advertisement at the first seconds of their contents.

But if you want effective advertisement, you need to do it with various platforms including the forum.

I dont understand how to play this game can you give us screenshot how to play it and what kind of game is it. For games social media is the best option for it.make an ads on facebook or rent a crypto related facebook group with many members or make a social media campaign.

hi seems like a great game, i also interested in creating blockchain related games, i am designing right now will be similar to your coding languages and frameworks.
i think it works with other players but when i entered nobody was in arena, is it because nobody at there or i need to do something, i see some player names but are they online ?
For advertising i can put it in my sign but first you need to create advert signature for your game, people to this in service section for 15$ then i can put it in my sign , my signature advert is not free but we can deal :) other places like google but it is not budget friendly. You should create a news at gamingwebsites i think or banner exchange sites will allow you to change banners with other similar sites.

You can try ads on pirate websites like 1xbet does but that's not appreciated way, your target must be crypto users. You could try cointelegraph too but I highly doubt there will be much gamblers.
This forum is great place for it and that's already proven, many casino started with sig campaign, for example firdt was primedice with the most massive signature campaign and you know how popular they become, can say the same about fortunejack, cryptogames and Bitsler.

You can advertise any bitcoin  related games/projects within this forum to expect it to be viewed thousands of members everyday.
There are two methods you can use to spread your project, the social media bounty and signature campaigm. Both are effective for advertising purpose

Run a campaign here in forum like 5 months to 1 year so your game will go popular then spread also this in faucet and in social site like facebook,twitter another thing it really depends on your site like if this is good of course this will turn very useful and popular actually you need big money to promote this so prepare yourself in that
Not necessary to run it for long and also theres no assurance that the game will be popular if you do advertise 5 months to 1 year.Advertisement duration would vary on your budget itself if you do have sufficient funds to expose your game, then why not? This Forum alone would really be a good spot too yet this game is based on blockchain too where people do really have the idea but as requested same above,I would like to see some FAQ because i didn't even know on how to play or test it.

You should consider ad networks like Coinad, Mellowads etc. They are a lot cheaper to advertise a site. Also, start affiliate program for your site.

Sorry, totally forgot about this!

#1 Would you mind to explain me a bit more in which section of the forum I should create the ANN Thread?

I believe that was answered already. Just wanna add, you might wanna hire someone to do it: Overview of Bitcointalk Designers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1610428)

#2 Would you mind to tell me where is the broken Discord link? Here is a working link: https://discord.gg/Un7CyV

<https://play.bitofwar.com> There's discord logo there and when i click it, I just get redirected to my dashboard, nothing happens
And the invite link expired ;;; it'll be better to post a permanent one.

How does the game work?
-snip-

Oh alright! I just tried the game and same as the others, there's no one there except me, i cri

The game is pretty simple and honestly speaking, i'm not a fan of simple games in pc but on mobile, yes. It's prolly cause i don't see myself playing them for months  :D.
Maybe try broadening the game/world building. You can start with the place the tanks are on, since it's just an open space with nothing on it, you could add more boxes or other stuff which users can use as a shield and at the same time can shoot at! and it'll be better if users can buy them too, they could totally use it as a strategy.

The quests and events. Monthly events are nice like for example this month, halloween!! e.g. halloween-themed quests, items, avatars etc..
For quests, definitely do a you'll get xxx something after nth number of constant logins.

and a chatbox for players would be nice

If I am not wrong, more than gambling, it’s an interactive/skill-based Bitcoin faucet game so microearnings section would be the most appropriate. And as far as advertising like others said, signature campaign, advertising on top Bitcoin ad networks, Coinad/Coinzilla/Cointraffic/Mellowads, paid postings on Bitcoin sites, and even PTC sites. Also adding multiple payment options, direct/through micropayment platforms would be a good option.

Hi!

@Mods, need some help here. Could we move this thread into the right section for bitcoin games?

This is just to update that the game is almost complete and we are looking for commercial partners in order to help us with the advertisement and the game promotion.

After 6 months already of permanent work, we almost have a reasonable product in alpha.

www.bitofwar.com

Supports drones to spy without money, and also there's a free trial version comming up soon.

If you believe you can help us it writting articles about it, it would be really appreciated.

Please feel free to reach at info@psychedelicgames.com

kind regards;
Chris
