So we've been out of the picture for almost 2 years now and many of you probably thought we just gave up on everything 'cause, well, things weren't going so great, anyway.
Well, if you thought this was the case, you wereee... right and wrong at the same time! We did give up on bundles, but we never gave up on trying to make a difference. :)
Things have indeed been really difficult for us, as we were a super tiny myni small team, without any experience in... almost anything actually! :) We started Playinjector as a long shot through a pitch dark night, only hoping that we would hit at least somewhere in the vicinity of The Mark.
We've always considered ourselves to be the "indie developers" of digital distribution. That's also why we've always had and always will have an affinity towards the indie game developers, and this is really what motivated and drove us to find solutions to make their lives (but also all other developers' lives) a little bit better.
Just like them, we also know the world of the "indie guy", who simply refused to get onto the band wagon with the rest of 'em, and set out alone, riding into the sunset, to do something that has never been done before.
Just like them, we also know how it is to have to pretend to be a human on Earth, having to do all that "fun" human stuff, like going to the Super Not Unuseful University, and finding an Extremely Not Unfulfilling Job and all those happy happy, joy joy burdens, and at the same time still find the resources and time and inner-time to still be able to do what we love.
We've spent hours and hours and days and years Trying, we've made and are still making ssssooooo many mistakes (heck, I'm doing one right naw! :D ), we've completely lost and completely regained hope so many times, but through it all, we learned, we bettered ourselves and we persevered!
And guess what! We'll never stop persevering, cause it's been the best fun we've ever had!!! :D
But in case you've been wondering, we have not been standing on our butts all this time! We've actually been working on something super amazing... sshhh!... :)
Something SO freaking cool, that it's gonna blow your mind so bad, once you wrap your head around what it is and what a gigantic impact it can have on the gaming industry!
But before I give out too much info, I would really love to tell you the story of how this new Thing of ours came to be, how it dawned on us and the philosophy behind it, so that we can be on the same wavelength once we reveal our super evil master plan. ^^
All this and more ..in the next episode! (yeah.. I know.. you hate me right now.. :) )

From dev to dev: tips for promoting indie games with 0 budget from Daniel Steer, developer of Terra Incognita
We had a little chat with Super-Developer Daniel Steer, creator of Terra Incognita. He was very nice and kind sharing with us a few trips and tricks about 0 budget marketing. So, pay attention, dear game makers.
1. So far, what is the game you are most proud of and why?
I'm proud of this game because it is actually my first solo commercial release. After years of working on other games, in small or larger teams and really not enjoying having to work towards other peoples ideas and goals. Terra is in mid beta and is getting great feedback. 0 Negative reviews on Steam and a nice little niche following. I've built a really deep, lengthy story line. I love writing and building an RPG on this scale allows me to write a giant story in a great big universe. I love it!
2. Can you tell us, for the developers out there, how did you promote it? Or give out your 3 best tips for promoting an indie game with 0 budget.
1. Make friends - Build a contact list!
Start building a contact list, don't just spam message game-media journalists. Actually try and build a good relationship with as many of these as you can. Keep in touch, don't spam. It's personally taken me years to get a contact list of around 140, I really try to keep in touch, maintain positive relationships and have become good friends with a few of these contacts. 'Be a nice guy' (or lady, of course) Don't be abrasive or get upset when people critique your game/s. Because it will happen.
2. Never underestimate the power of social media marketing!
Social media marketing is key for building a fan base around your game, Learn to use hash tags properly, target your audience, again don't just spam. Giveaways can give gamers and users an incentive to stick around and come back to your page again.
3. Work damn hard. Don't give up.
A friend and great game developer once said to me "Your game is cool, it's just cool, so stop being a pussy and worrying about what some people think and get back to work. Go and finish the damn game!"
Players, gamers, writers, bloggers, journalists and even friends WILL criticise your work eventually, thank them for their feedback, go into your room and scream into your pillow. Always try and keep in mind, you will never please everyone. A big part of being an indie developer for me personally, is making the type of game that I want to exist. The games I make are almost extensions of myself, the games I played growing up and nostalgia constantly inspire me. When I'm having a shit day, or someone says my game sucks, I push on. It makes me work harder.
If someone posts something that really gets you mad, that upsets or you strongly disagree with, remain polite, heck! Thank them for their feedback and move on. If you don't love making games and enjoy it, you probably shouldn't be an indie developer. Passion and the love is what should fuel you, don't give in, don't give up!

From dev to dev: tips for promoting indie games with 0 budget from Konstantin Popov from Biart, developer of Depth Hunter 2: Deep Dive
We are very proud to introduce Konstantin Popov, developer of Depth Hunter 2: Deep Dive. He gave us a few good tips about 0 budget marketing. Very sure you'll find this very helpful.
1. So far, what is the game you are most proud of and why?
I would say, Depth Hunter 2 is my favorite one. I like its visual style and the atmosphere we created thanks to our new graphics engine. And what is even more important – the game is easy to play. Thanks to this we got a lot of good feedback from our users. We released the game for iOS and Steam last year and decided to publish two DLCs after we got first feedback. Now we are thinking about possible updates and it most probably will be published for Android this year. I myself like the underwater world and I am proud that it looks so realistic in Depth Hunter 2.
2. Can you tell us, for the developers out there, how did you promote it? Or give out your 3 best tips for promoting an indie game with 0 budget.
We had no budget to promote Depth Hunter 2. To start with, we decided to publish some kind of an invite for bloggers and give them free keys. We had a lot of youtube videos from bloggers within the first week. Then we cooperated with press sites and ran some giveaway events. We also used our Facebook page to promote the game and decided to start submitting the game to various bundles earlier than we normally did with our other titles to get more installs and promote our upcoming DLCs.
There's no news that nice video trailers, Steam trading cards, more screenshots are very important to drive the traffic to your site or Steam page.

Game spotlight: Depth Hunter 2: Deep Dive
Game 6 of the May Days Bundle is Depth Hunter 2: Deep Dive.
Depth Hunter 2 offers 25 exciting missions in 3 huge locations around the world. Players will hunt different fish species and face the difficulties of breath-holding spearfishing, an ancient fishing method.
Players will also have to find treasures and get the possibility to take underwater photos to capture the beauty of the simulated, detailed and lively underwater worlds they’re exploring also in an exploration mode.
Spearfishing and Underwater Hunting are ancient fishing and hunting methods, used to catch fish by using a mechanical harpoon. Today, spearfishing is a sports activity in many countries around the world, especially in the UK, around the Mediterranean Sea and in South America. Spearfishers hunt while diving apnea, holding their breath, so have to coordinate their energy carefully while monitoring their prey, especially in tactically challenging hunting situations.
System Requirements:
- OS: Windows 7 or 8
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2.7 GHz
- RAM: 1GB

Game spotlight: Camera Obscura
Game 5 of the May Days Bundle is Camera Obscura.
An ancient tower in a forgotten land. A lone photographer on a desperate search. A once-in-a-lifetime chance. Camera Obscura is a puzzle-platformer in which you attempt to summit a ruined tower – a relic of a fanatical sect trying to reach the sun. Facing dangerous animals, crumbling architecture, and perilous pitfalls, can you reach the Summit, and perhaps, redemption?
Camera Obscura uses an innovative "afterimage" mechanic that allows the player to temporarily clone the Tower's architecture in order to span gaps, create staircases, and freeze moving platforms in place. The ability to copy and manipulate each level allows players to find many paths through the tower's 57 maps.
- Innovative "afterimage" mechanic. "Flash" the screen to create a ghostly double of your surroundings. Manipulate the afterimage to turn walls into stairs, platforms into cages, and even defend yourself against the creatures in the tower.
- Custom level editor. No programming required, just point and click to create platforms, enemies, switches, and doors.
- Original soundtrack. Listen to 11 beautifully-composed tracks throughout the Tower's eight zones.

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows XP or later
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Graphics: Shader Model 2.0 or greater
DirectX: Version 9.0c

Game spotlight: KEL Reaper of Entropy
Game 2 of the May Days Bundle is KEL Reaper of Entropy.
Tired of playing the part of a wannabe hero in games? Bored of helping villagers get rid of the local undead? Why not play as one of those undead for a change?
KEL Reaper of Entropy gives you the chance to control (or at least try to) Kel the Skeleton and choose whether to terrorize or please the villagers. Or both for that matter. The game features unconventional gameplay, heinous methods of gaining victory and a non-existent variety of ways to customize your character. Plus an overdose of twisted humour as a bonus.
* A beautiful 3D fantasy world with delicious poisonous berries to pick up
* A stubborn, crooked protagonist to deal with
* Multiple ways to obliterate your enemies (poison, intrigues, stupid accidents, you name it)
* Unexpected twists and turns to your actions
* An ancient relic (Game Manual) to learn from
* An interview with one of the most beloved characters in the history of games
In KEL Reaper of Entropy you witness how Kel the Skeleton, the fabled RPG character, rises once more from the dead near a peaceful village in the woods. Together with him you set out to explore said woods and the village, picking up whatever you find useful along the way. Once you meet the villagers, the fun can truly begin! You'll have numerous ways of messing things up, from manipulating villagers to kill each other to using Kel's special skill of cursing to damage their brain.
Or, of course, you could play nice and please everyone in the village, though Kel might object to that.
There are all sorts of unexpected little secrets to discover, 15 amusing achievements to complete and enough twisted humor to go round.

Processor: 2.0+ GHz processor

From dev to dev: tips for promoting indie games with 0 budget from Patrick Lee, Distribution Manager at Legacy Games
I'm sure you all heard of Legacy Games, the publisher of many games based on iconic brands like Criminal Minds, Tarzan, Law & Order, Twilight Zone, Murder She Wrote, Ghost Whisperer, Psych, Paranormal State, House M.D., Jane Austen, and Crayola Songbook.
Today we bring you one of the minds behind Legacy Games, designer and distribution manager Patrick Lee. He was very kind answering a few questions for us about promoting indie games.
1. So far, what is the game you are most proud of and why?
The game I'm proudest to have worked on is Atlantis: Pearls of the Deep. It's very polished in all aspects, from the art, to the sound effects, music, level design, everything. It has won awards for its innovative mix of familiar match-3 gameplay and realistic physics puzzles. It's one of our most beloved, well reviewed, and successful PC and mobile titles!
2. Can you tell us, for the developers out there, how did you promote it? Or give out your 3 best tips for promoting an indie game with 0 budget.
1. Make lots of friends with people in the industry, from publishers, distributors, reviewers, or other developers. If people like you, they're more likely to promote your game in their stores or blogs or wherever.
2. Always respond to customers and fans. A little bit of good customer service goes a long way!
3. Give your game a funny, descriptive, or interesting title. It's the first thing most people will see, so catch their attention early on.
The good news is you can now purchase 7 Legacy games at special prices: http://www.playinjector.com/
