Does marketing for arcadetown.com
Oppotunities for indies...
always need to find the new thing and getting to the new thing first
Indies have been pushed out of the match-3, Diner Dash, games, etc....
So find new markets for competition
Suggestions for where indies can compete...
Lots of genres and old games that can be rethoughts and reskinned...
Like bringing a casual adventure game onto the market
Bringing casual sim games and casual RPG games
Make something new and original that has already been done
Indie MMO opportunities...
feel it is viable to make an indie MMO
But odds are that indies will do it wrong
Not going to compete with World of Warcraft
You can make money as an Indie MMO...as long as you don't try to compete with those guys...
Ways to do Indie Marketing...
1) Grass Roots
2) Blogs
3) Can still get into magazines and newstands
Need to make a solid product
