So we are a new company formed earlier this last summer, only 7 of us altogether including myself. We've been looking into ways to get more attention for our company and games, but the problem is that most of the advice you find around the internet seems rather shady at best. This entire social media thing seems like advanced spamming techniques more than an actual way to get good word of mouth out about yourself.
So, besides the standard use Twitter, Facebook and YouTube advice, and then spam random unknowns hoping to get noticed, does anyone have any advice on how we might spread word of our company without well.. spamming?
About half of us have worked in the games industry in some fashion or another, one has worked for two other mobile games companies, 3 of us are from another local games development studio who focuses on PC titles. So we know games. We know the audience. And our primary goal in getting word of mouth out has just been "make good games that people will want to talk about".
That seems solid enough, but with SO many games around, we still fear we will get lost in the tides.
