0 A.D. Social Media Accounts (We need you!) I’ve been given the lovely honor to curate 0AD’s social media accounts. In this capacity, I would love to invite every forum member here at the Wildfire Games Forums to take a look at our current accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Mastodon. As you may know, 0 A.D. is completely free, libre, open source and volunteer based. No wages are paid in the development of this game and there is no budget for marketing. Exposure for this project is made up almost entirely of word-of-mouth advertising. We, the fans, are the developers of this game, both here on the forum, as well as on other platforms like trac, phabricator, GitHub and IRC. Together, we are all contributing towards the development of this game, however large or small those contributions may be. Every like, comment and share contributes towards the future of this game that we have all grown to love. The more people know about this game, the higher the odds that we will attract more developers in various fields from programming to art and translations. So, if you haven’t given these pages a visit yet, please take a look. And maybe give us a like https://facebook.com/play0ad/ https://twitter.com/play0ad https://instagram.com/play0ad.official/ https://mastodon.social/@play0ad (open source social media) Other media accounts worth checking out are: The Spanish language 0 A.D.

And remember, there is also a lovely thread called “Your screenshots”. Don’t be shy to post some nice shots there. The ones that are exceptionally pleasing to the eye might receive a feature on our platforms.

Hello. Could it be possible to add other social media icons on the front page ? https://www.reddit.com/r/0ad/ https://www.youtube.com/user/play0ad https://www.gamereplays.org/ needs to be created (see also : link ) and why not icons for - forum - irc channel

Hello I noticed you were searching for a Social Media Manager. Facebook announcement here: Are you still looking for someone ? Because I think you really need someone to actively work on your social media promotion.. Hense my posts: - here (about making social media icons more visible), - and this one (about allowing players to upload replays on GameReplays.org), - and this one (about moving the bug tracker to Github, a much more used and efficiant bug tracker). Just being stared a lot could make you reach the top on the list of games engines) I am so surprised that you don't have more players, more contributors (devs, artists, testers...). Also, posting news about development updates on these Facebook groups wouldn't hurt making 0AD more known: - https://www.facebook.com/groups/RTSgameslovers/ - https://www.facebook.com/groups/IndieGameDevs/ I don't know why this makes me upset but I think your game is too good to stay in the shadows of net.
