Currently, the plan is simple.

Announce the game updates August 31th.

Social media graphics can be prepared with Canva and Pixlr.

and automated with the free version of hootsuit ( 3 accounts and 30 posts per month) or another free software.

We should announce one week in advance that we have the game coming out on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

We can announce can on these sites: Reddit (Multiple options) And the standard social media sites...

It's a simple plan but considering our timeframe not sure if it will happen.

Marketing plan update

Canva for creating appropriately sized images for social media. Pixlr for further photo correction

Hootsuite or buffer for marketing automation. (Buffer preferred)

These Reddits are options I came up with, they might not all apply

  1. RTS - tag with Self-Promo Link (They recommend to limit self-promo to 2-3 posts per week)
  2. indiedev Actually requires posts to be useful...Release threads are OK, but a considerable history of participation on /r/gamedev is required so we may be too late for this, unless we want to somehow throw ad for the game under a how-to.. Could also use marketing monday's somehow...
  3. indiegaming rules are don't post low quality content
  4. strategy I didn't see any rules or promo
  5. steam ... tricky, survey's are allowed though... 6. spaces/sci-fi saw no rules but saw free stuff, promos and more (2 million subs btw)
  6. pcgames
  7. multiplayer
  8. voiceactors
  9. game visual novels
  10. gameart
  11. love2d no obvious rules 13. lua no listed rules
  12. lua games
  13. linux games
  14. mac games
  15. windows games Lots of rules on giveaways
  16. building games
  17. marketing games
  18. gaming - must be oc promo and be 10% of all posts
  19. games 10% rule..
  20. gameart

also small thoughts... steamdeals & steamGiveaway's could be used for sales etc

Messaging will be like
