Advertising between GameSalad users

Hi everyone,


@wtdeveloper and I : we think we have an awesome idea.

This is our idea: because the review sites don’t give us a possibilty or they don’t reply us and It’s very hard to indie developer to create a marketing campaign, we think that we can help us all together.

Here is the idea:

ALL the gamesalad developer can look for a partner that has one or plus game on the app store (or if the developers want, on the play store and amazon market also).
A partner give at the other a banner of his own game and the other developer will insert it in his game and viceversa.
here are some other rules:

-There are two type of partnership: pro use and standard user.

The pro gamesalad user can work together giving a banner of the game at the other who insert his banner on his own game with a link to the game of the partner and viceversa.

2) The standard gamesalad user can work together giving a banner of the game at the other who insert his banner on his own game and viceversa. (the standard user haven’t the open url behavior)


What do you think of this idea? it can be realized?

cheers from @wtdeveloper and @patapple

sorry for our english mistakes :))

    Personally, I would never, ever put a banner ad in a paid game.

    You could also have a "more games" page (as most of us do) but include games from other developers who are a part of this.

    The key would be to have quality control. Sort of like with an artist gallery cooperative. You don't ge to display/sell your art unless the members approve and allow you to join the coop. Basically, I wouldn't want my apps associated with low quality apps. So it will really only work if there is some quality control (IMO).

    A game dev coop could be an interesting idea though.

    Yeah, this instead of play haven would be great for GS users :)

    I had recently been floating an idea along the same lines but for each of our websites. I have all the details here: http://www.funkymunkygames.com/Gamesalad/ads/ad_network.html

    If anyone is interested in starting, it is all ready to go. Email me at support@funkymunkygames.com or post here if you have any further questions or ideas on making it better.

    I think I prefer @simo103 's idea but an GS as network instead of playhaven would be good
  • WTDeveloperWTDeveloper Member Posts: 352
    We thought this is an awesome idea for every GS User!!!
    So the first partnership: patapple & me :D
    WE will site about our experience and our success...
    Is anybody else interest in a partnership??

    PS:I will be sharing an banner template the next days :D

    Im sorry but I'm not in, I would only opt in if this was an official GS service, and run officially by a team of actual workers, If this is community orientated it could become VERY biased..

    Great Plan, But I doubt it will happen, Its just not infastructured enough..

    do you have any advice?
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    @patapple
    Well, I think the main route to go would be to suggest this to GameSalad, Because this instead of play haven would be great!,
    Send an email/Pm
    To @saladstraightshooter or @laurensalad and I'm sure they will pass it on to Whoever manages play haven and core features,

    @LeonardDeveloper - This will have no chance of happening instead of PlayHaven. Apart from the fact that GameSalad make revenue from PlayHaven, it's recently been added and I'll bet my last dollar they have a certain amount of time biding them to that contract (probably a year), so Playhaven won't be going away any time soon.

    I realize that, I personally don't have much against Playhaven, But this would probably gross more from GS if you had to pay for an ad, I don't know really, Thats why I said suggest it..
