Introduction

Associated Gamedev Blog (AGDBLOG) is loose, sparse, relaxed, collaborated online journal for articles from game developers, mainly solo developers and small businesses which can hardly afford hiring PR professionals. We gather here to share news and showcase achievements.

PR industry best practices are often mentioned across media outlets and PR firms. They might not necessarily be affordable for your specific game project. Before you do really well in attracting media attention, this website is where you start. We do free and safe-for-work press coverage for most legit game projects and qualified fellow game developers, as long as you really have something to show.

Categories

We publish articles in various categories.

• Big News:
  Launch, EA launch, demo launch, expo event.
• Small News:
  Game version update, new content, DLC release, community mods.
• Technology:
  Technical solutions, best practices, open source tools.
• Business:
  Business best practices, commercial performance reports, service ads, game-dev-classified ads, etc.

Writing Here

At AGDBLOG, we have some requirements regarding the composition of a post.

We use Hexo to generate the static website from Markdown source files of posts.

Guest Articles

We are open to publishing guest articles.

The best practice is to publish your press release on your own website and send us the URL.

Alternatively, email us the full text along with author description. Indicate Steam AppID and other information that help identifying your game and your brand.

Cover Image

Every post must have a cover image.

Steam library header image (920x430) may be used here. However, we use 17:9 aspect ratio in posts index page. So add sufficient safe margins.
