For a while I&#8217;ve been working on a third person action game, just to test out if I could do anything different then my usual first person stuff, and I started to see potential in this. The &#8220;test game&#8221; was actually coming along very well, introducing many new challenges and concepts that really pushed my programming skills to advance. I started looking at my previous works and at my current project, and at other games around the web, and I realized&#8230; this project is professional enough to be released! Like, for actual money!<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of research and planning on getting this game released, and I think I know how to start. Details on the release and the game itself are still super-secret, but here&#8217;s a hint on the name and concept of the game:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Hint1.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-261410\" alt=\"Hint1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Hint1-550x309.png\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Hint1-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Hint1-550x309.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>Let&#8217;s see if you can figure this one out! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n <p>Also, if there&#8217;s anyone out there with any experience releasing a game, I&#8217;d <strong>really appreciate some tips<\/strong> on <strong>getting my game pub<\/strong><strong>licity and hype <\/strong>during the preorder and pre-release stages! What&#8217;s the best way to <strong>promote<\/strong> a game and make people want to buy it?<\/p>\n <p>Thanks and Happy Gaming, Ludum Dare! P.S.
