EGX Blog Post 8

 16th October (Post EGX)


Throughout EGX, we ran giveaways for both games, which included people who followed our Instagram for Wid’s game being randomly selected to win a Limited Edition Book, and a winner was also randomly selected to win Pint Glasses for Nick’s game for joining his discord This led to over 85 people joining Nick’s discord, as well as over 50 people putting Nick’s game on their Steam Wishlist, which was a great success. 


The Instagram for Wid’s game has now grown to 115 followers, which is great, as one of Wid’s main objectives was to grow the Instagram to over 100 followers, so I’m glad that my social media contribution has led to this goal being hit! 


We have been continuing to post on social media after EGX has wrapped up, asking people through story polls what the best part about our booths were, as well as messaging with people that played the game to get their full feedback!

EGX Blog Post 2

 27th July I have continued to grow out the Instagram and Twitter pages for both of the games that I am marketing, as well as boosting the engagement rate of our posts by messaging people who are following us, as well as utilising polls and and “ask me anything” stories to allow people to get a greater insight into what our games are about. I have also expanded the list of influencers, both on YouTube and Twitch, that have played and streamed similar games, compiling a full list of their details and how best to reach them.  Alongside this, I have asked for the developers to provide me with more photos & gifs, so that I can post them on the social media platforms for both games.

 29th September  I have now submitted the budgets and business cases for both Nick and Wid’s games, detailing the full outline of how much each item will cost, why we are wanting to purchase each item and how it will benefit both of the games that we are marketing at EGX. Nick’s budget and business case has been approved, and just waiting for confirmation on Wid’s game. For Nick’s game, today I am going to start ordering all of the items that we have listed, with the newly topped up equals card. On Instagram and Twitter, we have started to post countdowns to EGX, as well as detailing exactly what will be at our stalls, and putting up polls on instagram to see what percentage of our followers for each game are coming to EGX 2023, with the results for both games being 90+ % saying yes. I sent sent messages to the people who voted yes, saying that we will be at EGX all days, and it would be great to have them play our game- with a lot of people responding, which is fantastic, as we know w

13th July  For both of the games I am working on - “There was a Home” and “Deep Space Tavern” - I have set up social media accounts for Twitter and Instagram, filling out the pages with photos from the games & captions describing what the game is about, the characters etc. I have also started the process of following other accounts that have shown interest in comparative games, growing out the     follower base that we can promote our game to. This has worked thus far, as I have been able to build both games to a small but engaged audience of 50 followers.  I have also started to compile a list of influencers, both on YouTube and on Twitch, who have played comparative titles to the games I’m marketing, and have gathered their business emails, so that I can easily contact them to play our games when they’re at a playable stage.  Engagement has been great with the game developers, with weekly calls set up for both games, as well as discord chats allowing conversations to occur betwee
