New Casual Games Release Date/News Site
by Matt Sayre · 10/05/2009 (1:10 pm) · 5 comments
I've started up a website to help casual/indie game developers get the word out about the games they're working on. It seems that most casual games just appear out of thin air on the portals, with very little buzz leading up to their release. Hardcore games, movies, and even books get a marketing whirlwind going on before their products are released. But for some reason, even some of the biggest IP casual games just show up one day, usually on a single portal, with maybe a few days' worth of minimal marketing beforehand.
I hope to increase the buzz factor for casual games by making a site focusing on news of their development and maybe even *gasp* release dates (if not a specific day, the maybe a month... or season). I've searched high and low for casual game release information and put up on the site what I can, but I want to put out the call to you developers to give me some info about the games you're working on and when you think it might be finished. Whether for PC, console, or mobile (iPhone), I want to hear about it. And I think there's a huge audience out there who would like to hear about it as well... even if they don't know it yet.
So, if you'd like your game to get some exposure on a new site, send me some info about your game. I'd definitely like a title, a description of the game, a genre (if applicable), and any screenshots would be great too. And, of course, a release date so people can mark their calendars.

Thanks for reading! The site really depends on you developers to work.
