Kart Racing Pro on Steam Greenlight

[PiBoSo]

Of course I vote too (despite I'm not really a KRP player), I think it's highly deserved.

But if your goal is to make the buzz for real, you'll have to do more than just asking here to vote for KRP.

MaX.

What would you suggest?

[HornetMaX]

Get in touch with sim-oriented web sites, with sim communities, with youtube channels about sim racing. Give them a free license to give KRP a try. That's a start.

I know it's not your style, but interviews where you (or someone from your team) appear in person could help too.

What you should ask here (on top of voting for KRP, already done) is to put you in touch with other communities that could relay the message. It could be anything from Kart clubs to national associations.

And one thing: again I know it's not your style (and for what matters, it's no mine neither) but if you want to promote KRP the 1st enthusiast must be you: the 1st post of this topic is shy, as if your product was not good. It is a good product, it is top notch. Don't be scared to say it out loud.

And good luck !

Several simracing websites already published a news about the Greenlight page, on their own ( they probably follow the Youtube channel, or this forum ).
It would surely be possible to make some marketing, but it's not really needed at the moment: KRP is already #10 in the Greenlight rank, of 1407 entries. And the percentage of "Yes" votes is 59%, compared to the 34% average of the other top 50 games.
So it's probably better to save the advertising for when it will really matter: the first "official" release.

Very glad to hear that KRP is doing fine on greenlight.

Even that (the current results) deserves a proper post here ! DON'T.BE.SHY.

PiBoSo, MaX is right.
You're hiding yourself and your company too much. I've a business since 30+ years and in the beginning I had similar problems. If you are not able to do it yourself, let Snappe or someone else represent your company in public. Personal contacts are the most important aspects in business. Even if you don't want to spend much money for advertisement atm, be proud of your performance and let your potential customers know it.
Your work is not good, your work is excellent!!

Btw: nice video, I like Joe Cocker

So when it does come out on Steam, if you have bought the beta and have the game now, will you have to pay for it again on Steam when the full game comes out or whatever? Sorry if its a dumb question. Its been a while since I've been in here

piboso what these boys and men are saying is 100% correct. im always willing to help out with anything if you need it weather it is testing, vids, models, textures and more that could help get this sim out of the dark and out into the public where it belongs

when it comes to advertisement i can help you alot!! iv been going a fair bit for my kart club this year

Same game allow to unlock a Steam game with a previously purchased key.
However, until integration is done, it's not possible to give a final answer.

I have some games migrate to steam, in some cases they are unlocked with the same key, in others cases I have got a new key for steam and the old key doesn't work anymore, in short I can play the game only thru steam

For sure KRP will always be available as a standalone software, too. It wouldn't be serious for a professional software to require a third-party ( gaming ) platform.

its great this is on greenlight now

the choose is never forced, if the old key doesn't work anymore there is an advice, something like "be carefull, if you active the game on steam the standalone version key doesn't work anymore", so the choose standalone/steam is in my hands. I choose always the steam version because then all updates are automatic

[HornetMaX]

I think I've read on Steam that when a game is launched, the developer can ask steam any number of keys to give to people that have already purchased the stand-alone (pr-steam) version of the software.
That way anybody with a previous license can migrate to the steam version.

Not ideal if your goal is to rujn stand-alone, but at least you don't lose the license.
