I want to reiterate that the press releases have been getting us a phenomenal amount of traffic (and hope that if you're working on a game, you'll consider doing a press release too!). We just did a short one:
Quote:
Dejobaan Games, LLC has made available a 30-level pre-release of their upcoming BASE jumping game, "AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity." Fans can try a new 9-level demo and pre-order the full game for $15 ($10 off the full price) at www.dejobaan.com/aaaaa. Those who pre-order will receive the full 30-level pre-release, exclusive content as it's developed, and the the full 80-level game when it's released in Q3.

Since the indie studio released the game's public alpha test, they've added new content and incorporated player feedback to improve gameplay. The pre-release introduces new levels and game mechanics such as the option to trade human teeth for triple espresso shots and the ability to anger protesters for points. There's also a relaxing audio meditation for anyone too stressed out to play the game.

"AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity" is scheduled for a Q3 2009 release, and will require Windows XP/Vista, a 1.5GHz processor, 1.5GB memory, a 3D card with 256MB memory, and Microsoft DirectX 9.0c. Visit Dejobaan online at www.dejobaan.com, and follow them on Twitter at @RoRoDejobaan.

With the trimmings (links to videos, etc.), of course. It's been about 24 hours, and so far:

People we've never met have been talking to each other in forums about the game:

"Dropping the $15 for the expanded demo was totally worth it. If you liked the tougher levels available in the free demo, you'll definitely enjoy the rest of the levels you get for purchasing the game!"

Is it because we're awesome? I'd like to think we're at least good or decent. Or not completely incompetent. BUT! There are many, many great games in 3DGS-land, which deserve exposure. If you have a solid game, and you haven't yet done a press release, I encourage you to give it a go. Right now!
