I'm not disagreeing with you but rather stating that this kind of back door promoting has already been attempted with a result far below expectations that was not even equal to the time and effort it took to do the videos. The hope was the effort would go viral but it didn't beyond what our current players found to be interesting.
However
Our attention is now being focused on how to use Steam to promote the game to come as well spotlight that Urban Terror is already a game they can play in a kind of 4.2 is the playable demo way and with Quake 3 Arena going F2P on Steam it might be a good time to see if we can bootstrap to the reboot.
So as a change in direction posting on Reddit might be of some benefit, although assuming that it will not generate the total numbers we would like to see, if you substitute Steam Concepts we would be targeting to a much smaller group but since Steam is a point of distribution for those interested in playing games in general the return rate should be much higher over and above a general interest post.
Getting the word out that we are out there is not so much the problem as compared to motivating someone to actually play the game and the current numbers say there is about 80,000 currently in the player base but a very small percentage of that core actually play the game.
So to confirm sure we probably will do yet again another promotion video but it has to be more focused and targeted to individuals where there is a higher percentage and chance that those who see it will download and play the game at least once.
As well.
Steam Concepts is low risk as far as community involvement goes so if anyone is interested in helping out with a one-shot project we would be interested in hearing from you if interested in getting directly involved in doing something besides being the idea guy.
