Hi all,

I've recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for our game Necromancer, a tactical isometric game where you control the zombies against the hard-bitten heroes.

We're having trouble getting out there, even though I've sent about 100 emails to various indie game news outlets etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

We're having trouble getting out there, even though I've sent about 100 emails to various indie game news outlets etc. - Have you been pitching the overall publication or individual journalists that write at the publication?

[OtherWorldsSoftware]

A mix of both, preferably specific journalists when available but many are just "contact @" mailboxes.

Do you get any kind of feedback? Have you tried getting any LinkedIn introductions to journalists?

[OtherWorldsSoftware]

Not yet, I'm not really on LinkedIn. What do you do, just set up a LinkedIn account and message them?

Usually I will try to see what 2nd degree connections I have in common with the journalist. If a professional connection knows a journalist at X, then I'll explain my new project and ask for an introduction. (Good reason to keep on good terms with all your business connections).

Good luck with your project. I'm also having some trouble getting my project out there. So I hope the best for you. Perhaps when you find the time, I also started a Kickstarter project. It's a mobile game with awesome features from funny stories, challenging game play, awesome music, promotes positive vibes, etc. Please take a look. Thanks and all the best! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/18 ... -adventure
