TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND THEIR JOBS HULK WILL NOT MENTION NAMES! JUST CONVERSE ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT!
HULK FIRST ASKED INDEPENDENT DEVELOPERS!
HULK FELT INDY WILL LIKELY BE THE GAME INDUSTRIES FUTURE!
INDEPENDENT DEVELOPERS ( AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL) NEED TWITTER TO EXIST!
THE AAA PUBLISHERS CANNOT SUPPORT THEM!
LET ALONE AFFORD TO GIVE THEM APPROPRIATE PR! AND WHILE JOYSTIQ DOES A DECENT JOB MENTIONING THEM WHENEVER THEY CAN.... TWITTER IS OFFICIALLY THEIR TETHER TO THE COMMUNITY!
IRONICALLY MANY OF THE INDIE DEVELOPERS HULK INTERVIEWED DID NOT EXACTLY KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF TWITTER!
" From a P.R. prospective it does things only facebook and forums could ever dream of doing.... yet when it comes to profitability for our product....we haven't been able to figure out a proper way of testing. So just like the games we're working ...... we're taking a risk and hoping it pans out" - one silly developer
"With no way of seeing ROI with tweets we're never entirely sure if what we do with twitter will in anyway bolster sales. we do however see rises in our community" - an adorable hulk follower <3
SIDE NOTE: R.O.I.= RETURN ON INVESTMENT!
IRONICALLY HULK HAD A FEW MORE INDIE GAME DEVELOPERS SAY THE EXACT SAME THING!
HULK WONDERS IF GOOGLE ANALYTICS TRAFFIC SOURCING ALONG WITH SALE RECORDS OF THE GAMES WEBSITE COULD ASSIST WITH THIS.... IT MIGHT NOT BE A PERFECT SYSTEM, BUT AS LONG AS NO OTHER HUGE EVENTS ARE TAKING PLACE IT COULD GIVE THE USER A SOLID READING OF THAT TWEETS POWAH!
(HULK DOES SOMETHING SIMILAR WHEN GAUGING HULK'S BLOG)
THE NEXT GROUP ARE A MIXED BAG!
BIGGER THEN INDIE BUT NOT AAA!
I GUESS WE COULD CALL THEM THIRD PARTY BUT A LOT OF THEM DON'T FEEL LIKE IT OR STATE IT!
EITHER WAY!....... THEIR MESSAGE IS TIMELESS!
"We here at *leave this part out* f*cking love Twitter.
I personally wish twitter had existed ten years ago, so I didn't have to scroll through Neogaf hearing nothing but cesspools of hatred for me and my games. The endless raging did nothing for my self-esteem and changed how our company did games later.
On twitter I can chat with friends, answer questions for gamers, chat with young Hulks ( <3), and even occasionally mention that we have a new item in the shop or a new shirt size for those that have been desperately wishing for it.
These are all things standard websites and our publisher can't handle.
The average day to day activities that may have very little to do the product but everything to do with us here at *REDACTED BECAUSE HULK DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE FRIENDSHIPS <3*" - AWESOME 3RD PARTY ( I THINK) DEVELOPER!
IRONICALLY A LOT OF THE DEVELOPERS IN THIS CATEGORY HAD TRAUMATIZING
EXAMPLES OF PAST P.R., OF DEALING WITH FORUMS, AND
THE INCESSANT HATRED THAT SPAWNS THERE!
SEEMS TWITTER TO THIS GROUP GIVES A BETTER PICTURE!
PERHAPS FILLS IN BUBBLE THAT 10 YEARS AGO WOULD HAVE POPPED, MADE A MESS, AND RUINED SALES!
NOW FOR THE AAA INDUSTRY!
THE MOST COMPELLING!
MOST DYNAMIC!
MOST JAW DROPPING RESPONSE IN GAME DESIGN HISTORY!
" WE AT THIS TIME HAVE NO COMMENT"
THIS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ! -_-
