Kickstarter Ad Campaign

So I wanted to get some ideas out about this. But first it's important to understand what exactly we would need for an ad campaign to be successful, and second, how much it would cost. And we'll also need to create promotional material about the game for the kickstarter- atleast one video from Kinak...

The only real solution is large influx from great advertising. People trickle in, see that not many people are here, and don't stay to play.

Re: The New International House of Auctions

I actually spent quite a bit of time considering how to do something like that, but I never came up with a way that really clicked with me.

If I come up with a good way to do it, though, rest assured it'll be added in.

Re: froggy madness

Was considered okay, so here's how it works: Every time the reign of frogs takes a significant amount of damage, there's the message of one of them plummeting into the lake, which means it'll be weaker the next time you face it if you fail to beat it this round. This can be exploited by causing the ...
