Sundiata 3.200 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 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. Facebook page: https://facebook.com/0adfanslatino/ (managed by Lion.Kanzen) Our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/play0ad (release trailers and original 0 A.D. music tracks) Our Bandcamp site: https://play0ad.bandcamp.com (0 A.D. soundtrack) 0 A.D. on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/0ad/ Another reason I open this topic, is to receive community suggestions, feedback and comments about our accounts. 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.

Marcus Claudius Marcellus and Queen Amanirenas: Remember, 0 A.D. and the Pyrogenesis game engine aren't just free. They are libre software: Quote The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

I'm open to suggestions, but we don't usually have much videos to post. And taking other people's videos sounds like a bad habit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lion.Kanzen 4.688 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Lorgood videos are a kind of "making of 0 A.D" or testing 0 A.D Devs new features. I share with my community. this. I share mods development and this was useful. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But we can still do a lot better than that. Come on my fellow forumites, let's push those numbers! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sundiata 3.200 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 @Lion.Kanzen, I'd love to share more videos, but Ideally they should have the highest graphics settings enabled, which isn't often the case. (not really the fault of the video-makers, because they have to make a choice between fps and graphics settings which means graphic settings usually loose out. Ideally we need more optimizations to the game so that average machines can play with high graphics settings as well) Are the reddit and discord channels official? because I assumed they were self regulated kind of things.

Reddit not really but we can ask them. For discord not at all. We had one attempt at an official one but it wasn't successful because of privacy constraints. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AeternaTristitia 25 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I check out /r/0ad from time to time, but It would be way better to have an official discord channel just like Age of Empires 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angen 464 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 It was refused to have official discord channel because problems with discord`s privacy policy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Angen 464 Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I dont know to tell more, to be exact it was for privacy concerns. @Itmswould be maybe able to tell more but I think it was around time gdpr came out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
