How to publicize RimWorld

[Vas]

If you're considering moving to XF, you should do that before you start growing the community more rapidly.  Better to do it now while you have xxx amount of users than xxxxxxxx amount of users all actively making new topics and such.

Good point. There are like 300 people with double digit+ posts right now. That shouldn't be too painful.

Problem is, he gets thousands of games to go over, and if he doesn't like something about the game, he sure lets it be known. He has gone into legal battles with some devs who were upset on his bad game bashing.

Apparently someone decided to start the hype train early, A friend of mine who still has a stable internet connection just mentioned to me that someone told sips about rimworld.

TotalBiscuit would be a good way to promote the game, but like you said, he would also point out bad things about it too. But that shouldnt really a deterant. Nevertheless, I wouldn't consider this an option until the game is fully released (out of Alpha and Beta).

I also think the game will get more popular once it hits Steam. People will naturally just stumble upon it especially if they are looking for a game in that genre.

I've posted about it on GameFaqs in similar game boards like Banished.
