Underground advertisments for DF
« on: July 18, 2009, 08:22:04 pm »
Just read through some threads on the coverage this game gets. It isn't ready for prime time, I'd wait until the interface is improved a few lightyears and the graphics a few generations, but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun.

Anyone considered some viral/underground marketing for DF? See what I did here out of boredom, I think this is a form of underground marketing:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1)Take some culture
2)Insert DF reference
3)Upload
4)???
5)☼Dwarfbucks☼

Perhaps if DF is ever ready for primetime, we can dust off this thread and 4chan will see a new forced meme. Dunno. Thought it might be a fun project just to compile what culture would be like if DF had always been around. Lets see what you can come up with.

I'd go for the above dwarf graphic (just the original pixels) with 'You dig?' written somewhere nearby. Not the most original of ideas, but easy to communicate to someone who's never seen it.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Heh, this got me thinking, people could make Dwarf Face templates and spraypaint them around their towns ;D Start a revolution. Or just take pictures and make a gallery of the Dwarves "engraved" onto the far corners of the globe.

Of course, that would more petty vandalism and less image macro than your idea >_>

I like that image though.

Anyone? Someone can come up with something more clever than me sticking dwarves onto everything I think. Need some dwarfy captions too. I suck with GIMP.

I like the idea of DF viral marketing (or whatever you prefer to call it). It's been brought up before, but the idea hasn't really caught on with the comunity as a whole...

Hmm... I wonder if/how I could work a DF reference into that game project I'm working on...

You could just seed DF image macros across imageboards.

Least effort for maximum profit!  ;D

You guys stink.

Smells like some kind of sweaty workout/orgy mixed with empty faygo cans and a half-eaten mushroom stromboli.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

...Actually, my CafePress store direly needed some real merch.  I think I'll go try and whip up some DF designs for shirts or whatever.  I shall post them to this thread when I am done.
