THIS PLACE IS A GHOST TOWN! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!!!

[Reiga]

Okay, guys(and maybe girls, if such a thing exists).  Only about...3 other people aside from me respond to these posts.  We need to brainstorm ideas of how we can increase popularity of Sugar Shooter, Dudedle Studio, and the Dudedle Studio Forum.  Any ideas?

[Kinky-K]

lol Welllll, one of the main problems is the people who already have joined just aren't active for some reason.

Then we need more stupid posts.  Honestly, I felt really self-conscious about posting something on here.  But now, I really want to help, cause you all aren't douches :3

But yeah, we need a lot of stupid & silly posts that can invoke thought or inside jokes

Yeah, that'd really suck if we were all douches. lol?
No one's stopping you from doing something to attract more people to post, but I honestly don't know what to tell these people.

There are many people registered, so I'm wondering where they are as well lol

Unfortunately, it's hard to be active when I'm working on the game though. >_<;

Also, Reiga, post your highscore! There's a highscore thread

If one thing's obvious the best thing to do to attract men to anything is porn. Or just erotic things in general. I really want to start doing some SS fanart and comics, but I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to art. Which is ironic considering what I'm going to college for. lol Nevertheless, I have a few ideas up my sleeve.

[Reiga]

Aside from fanart, what about post ranks?  Ya know, after a certain amount of posts, you'll earn a ranking title with a cute pic beside it :3

Do it do it! We don't have enough fanarts/fanfic :3

What I have in mind currently is this...

1.) Screenshot contest : Capture a screenshot of bullet pattern in Sugar Shooter and then let people vote.

2.) Highscore contest : Randomly pick a stage and difficulty, then we'll see who score the highest on that stage.

Winners'll get some goods send to your house, like, Sugar Shooter mug,t-shirt, mousepad , etc. Or maybe a chance to ask Takezamurai to draw something you want to see. What do you guys think?

I personally don't like the idea of post rank, but that could be because I've seen people abuse it and there are communities that can grow without it. I'll have to talk about this with my team again. We are currently based the rank on how you support our group. Currently, anyone who help us will get Pioneer Support. EDITED : Mogmog and mokamoka think that there should be a clearer requirements for Pioneer Supporter so we'll announce more on this later.

The rank is only for bragging rights and accessing to our secret forum that we will show progresso of our future games and even let you play with some demo/beta.

Shoot, really? OH, and an art contest would be a good idea too. And good incentive for me to actually finish something on time! Good thinking both of you, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight!

I'll watch some Extra Credits.  Maybe we can find something in there to help us with gaining popularity? :3

[punipen]

Ah, you watch Extra Credits too? I love those ^ ^

As for popularity, I'm not really worried at the moment, though. I think it'll come with time, maybe after we release more games  

To be honest, I'm not good at this stuffs. And making game is already quite handful, so I'm really happy to see that you guys are helping me with this. Thank you very much!

[Reiga]

All I know is that if you want to gain customers you can only gain by the amount of work you put into not just the quality of the product, but also advertisement.  So we'll have to do a lot of annoying spams and lots of word-of-mouth.

One way is icons used for IMs and forums.

Another could be having other similar game genres made by other indie game studios advertise Sugar Shooter on their website while we advertise theirs on our site

I'd be up for some sort of contest. I think I'd die to have Takezamurai draw me something. XD That or the fact that I need a new mousepad anyway.

I actually enjoy drawing but have been in quite a slump for a while now. Maybe my love for SS will be enough to get me drawing again lol.

But yeah, contests and smut are always a good way to attract the bara community so it's worth a shot! Although I think I'd be too much of a scaredy cat to use SS icons and stuff on forums that aren't porn related... eheh...

Well I'm still new here.  I'm no artist but a sprite editor not professional. I kinda help some Delga Sprites in mugen with Tes.

Ok If it's a high score battle and attract crowd......  I can't believe that I am suggesting this.... I suggest that you make a contest with a prize. There will be 4 winners because there are 4 characters. Best high score on 1 character wins Bitter mode only. The winners will get the Sugar Shooter 2 free if their scores survived the week before the release of Sugar Shooter 2. They will try to post picture on their top score in here. But I am worried if they edited their score if it's done by photoshop. Best if they video the top score as realistic proof.

They will make a lot of post for it. 

My idea is stupid right?

Not at all! It sounds interesting actually, especially that 'topping their score' part. I'll see what can we developer further from this idea
