My game mentioned in New York Times!

DigiChain

This is a bit mad - 2 of my games (Mystery Lighthouse and Cool Quest) get a mention in the New York Times today!

I always wonder how you guys find these articles - Do you constantly troll the internet googling your own apps or whats the story here?

DigiChain

@Wingmanapps - no, I had an email from the Times press office to let me know. I thought it was yet another scammer trying to extract cash from me to begin with!

Wingmanapps

@DigiChain - Good stuff man. It really seemed like he enjoyed them alot.
Hope it translates into some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Been playing around with concept of a point`n Click adventure. But it might be one of the most overwhelming tasks you could face as a GS developer @-)

Hopefully some day i will find the "balls" to do it

@digichain

@Wingmanapps, whenever I publish a game I set up a google alert to watch for it. That way if it gets mentioned online you'll get an email notification.

Wingmanapps

@jamie_c Thats a good trick - thank you

SolarPepperStudios

@jamie_c How do you do that?

Wingmanapps

http://www.google.com/alerts - setup what word you want alerts from and get them emailed to your gmail account

SolarPepperStudios

@Wingmanapps Thanks!

jamie_c

Yep thats it, I usually use exactly the name of my game and then a couple variations to account for spelling errors or preferences. For example for my game "Neon-Asteroid Blaster!" I used the actual name and also "Neon Asteroid Blaster".

SnapFireStudios

Nice of GS to mention it on Twitter

@DigiChain you should write on your app description something like "mentioned in the New York Times" perhaps that could get people downloading more
