IOH Content Seeding exercise
by Ron Barbosa · in General Discussion · 08/07/2010 (8:54 pm) · 4 replies
Hey all...I'm running a mini experiment to see if there's sufficient interest in the indie game development community to start up a site that showcases your games, studios, and content.
I'm in the process of collecting information regarding titles (either available or in development), game synopses, and images to see if I can gather enough content to begin building the site.
It's hard for indies to get the type of exposure that matters, and we often get shut down by the major gaming sites, so I'm hoping to build a new series of sites where the indies take center stage. My first project will be indie games, but in the future we're considering films, comics, etc.
If you're interested in participating and having your content shown on the live site, please register here:
exibeo.net/ioh/register.php
You can begin uploading images and details about your game immediately.
During the content seeding phase, all submissions will be free of charge.
My target is to collect enough content for 200-250 games. I'd like to grab about 6 images per title.
PLEASE READ THE TERMS BEFORE SUBMITTING CONTENT! There's not a whole lot of legalese...just some background on the project and what we're trying to accomplish in this initial phase.
If/when we gather enough content for the seeding phase...we'll be shutting down the site. So if you're interested, move quickly! Once the final site is designed and built, you'll be contacted for a final approval before any of your content is migrated there. All content collected as part of the seeding process will be migrated to the final site for NO CHARGE!
Thanks for your help!

@Pino...Thanks for signing up and posting some pics. Looks like you put up quite a few images without running into issues with the space quota. =)Come on Torque Powered community...there's gotta be more of you out there looking to pimp your wares. =)

This whole idea is worthy, I hope people will grasp the possibilities behind it ;)

@Ron: the quota is reasonable for a few titles, I'm goint to add also the other projects in a while. The 4 I've posted are the main titles, two published and two on their way. Four more titles are cooking but it's still premature to post screenshots :)This whole idea is worthy, I hope people will grasp the possibilities behind it ;)

In my time building indie games...I've seen some really awesome work. But barely any of it gets the notoriety it deserves.
Post the rest of your game content and hopefully others will do the same. If the quota ever becomes an issue, let me know and I'll adjust it.
Any help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated!
