Introduction

[blackmagicwolf]

Hello everyone! My name is Todd, and I?m a Community Manager for several different indie game companies. Including M4, AK Arts, LAI Global Game Services, ICEX, RECOTechnology, Hiker Games, and Veewo Games.

There?s a lot to talk about in regards to games coming up, and I hope to share news with on them very soon!

I?m an avid gamer myself, and I also look forward to chatting with you about them! Any Nintendo fanboys/fangirls in here? Also, I come to Escapist to listen to Zero Punctuation every week! One of my favorite internet shows.

Anyway, I thank you for welcoming me to your forums.

Well, I won't say that I'm a Nintendo "fanboy", but I will say that there are certain Nintendo properties I'm a fan of.

Unfortunately for me, they're not making games with any of these properties anymore.

I do wonder how many people even acknowledge the existence of 1080, Wave Race or F-Zero. And I wonder what it says about me that my favorite game on a Nintendo platform isn't even by Nintendo: it's Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader.

Nintendo haven't made a decent console since the Gamecube, if you ask me. Haven't been worth shit. I've mostly gone over to Microsoft these days, though I still think the PS2 is the best console I've ever seen. Just waiting for the release of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown now... It'll be good to be back in Osea, after all these years.

Welcome, Todd. Feel free to enjoy these forums, but be warned that any posts advertising the games or companies you represent will result in your posting privileges being revoked at short notice. No pressure.

Why do I not believe that at all and this this is a cheap ad-bot for those sites to try to generate some hits?

The bots are becoming sophisticated.

...I'm not a bot...seriously.

But JoJo, thank you for letting me know about the advertising, I'll be sure to not post game release information from the companies I work for.

I made that intro, just so people know, so that if I could have posted, you wouldn't have thought me a random person, but someone who works for them. But since it is requested that I don't do it, I will not.

Huh. Well, welcome then.

You'll have to forgive people, we don't get many introduction threads, and when we do they are either bots or people who only make a couple of posts before abandoning the site.

 

[blackmagicwolf]

I understand that. I honestly have been here a while, just haven't posted on the site. My job asked me to look for more sites to talk in, so I thought about this one!

I'll definitely be a part of any Nintendo threads I find...I can't help myself. lol

Okay so very few of those are actually indie gaming sites. Veewo is. Hiker is.
Ak arts is a dance academy in Canada, ICEX is just the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade, RECOTech is but they don't have a game out, and LAI Global is a professional translation company from China

Are you really a Community Manager for SO many different companies, and can you provide evidence of such?

Apparently ICEX is working Novy Unlimited to promote spanish game development. That site lists quite a lot of clients, including the developers of Dex and then Sexy Brutale.
Novy Unlimited hires one Todd Black among their staff.
Said Todd Black is also linked to a number of Kickstarter pages promoting webcomics under the name Black Magic Wolf productions.
Edit: http://www.lai.com
would be the link for LAI Global Game services, not sure where a translation company comes in?
PS: Never have I felt my Avatar has been so apt.

Couldn't resist! But Bravo! Excellent snooping

Yes, it's interesting just how far I'll go to avoid doing real work.

Any Nintendo fanboys/fangirls in here?

Mate, you have no idea...

But speaking for myself, I can't really call myself a Nintendo fanboy, because while they have many IPs I like/have liked, I'm not too fond of their hardware (well, the Wii and Wii U, the DS/3DS were still fun enough). Maybe the Switch will turn things around, but that's a lot of dough to fork out right now.
