Hey guys,
If you need any advice on business or marketing, feel free to give me a shout. It’s what I do.

My sister took a few liberties with my babysitting until 9pm (2am).
Pissed off that I missed it. Was there a good turnout?

Should someone bring some sort of mascot along so people who haven’t been before will know us?
I’ve a little nessie (loch ness monster) teddy that I can bring if need be

There are some of us working on doing it, but it will take time still unfortunately. There are a lot of practices and procedures to make a company that is legally compliant but also practically focused towards game development industry.
But when we do, we intend the games we produce to be AAA quality. Anything less in this day and age is taking the piss out of the consumer who allows us to work in such a fantastic industry. And unfortunately, as in Sony’s case, they released what they did.
But remember one thing lads, the sales of this title (and I’m talking about launch, Christmas, and throughout next year’s GAA season as opposed to the traditional 6 week sales period) will prove whether there is a big enough market for Irish-targeted titles to have a chance. I believe that this was Sony’s reasoning, and it’s free market research for each and every single person working in this industry.
If you are interested, stop looking at the ads, and anything aimed at gamers. They’ll be target marketing the exact places where people who aren’t hardcore gamers but still have a Playstation. That is what will ultimately build the market. So have fun watching them do it, they are very good at what they do.
And whether the game is good or not, it will prove if enough Irish people buy the game, and if they do, their appetites will be a lot more open to Irish produced titles.

There’s been very little marketing surrounding this game outside of core games channels. The fact that it doesn’t seem to have GAA/GPA support probably contributed to this.
Well we’ll see how big the market is for it based on sales, but I think watching the rental charts will give more of an indication of interest than the sales charts will.

I’ll be bringing a friend along too. Have a birthday party to go to that night, so will only be sticking around until about 11pm.
