Achievement Systems in Video Games. Indie game dev tips with DPG, Episode 5
In this special episode of The Gamedev Podcast we talked on live stream about achievement systems in video games. We were joined by the fantastic Mimi Momo (Twitter: @lilchimchooree ) who is developing Dungeon Girls and has some brilliant ideas about achievement systems. We discussed how to define achievement systems, then briefly discussed a history of achievements in video games. We then moved onto when or when not to use them, how they can encourage or discourage certain gameplay styles, and how best to implement them. And all this while being attacked by internet connection issues! By joining our discord server you will be up-to-date as to when our newest podcasts release.

Indie game dev tips with DPG: Press Kits. Episode 1
Join Jacky Martin and Edwin Dizer from Dark Paradigm Games as we discuss press kits (also know as media kits). Join our Discord server! https://invite.gg/dpg (https://invite.gg/dpg) We'll be answering: -- What is a presskit? -- Difference between press kit and press release? -- Why is a presskit important? -- When to make presskit? -- Who are presskits for? -- What should be inside of my presskit? -- How to format presskit? -- How should the text be written? -- Things to note, when making a presskit? -- Best ways to distribute press kits? First and foremost a press kit is a promotional resource for your game or company. The game scene has shifted over the last few years in such a way, that generating hype around a release or having a solid media strategy is crucial. You want to communicate important facts with media outlets and journalists, this you can do through a press kit. A short document, containing contacts, details, events, products, promotions and other things that could be interesting to journalists. The purpose of your kit should align with the marketing strategy for your business or game and will have as main goal to produce positive press for you. That being said, the primary audience for your press kit is journalists and media agencies who are involved in the gaming industry. A press kit helps you to gain the attention of journalists, that would otherwise not cover your game in an article. You want to make it as easy as possible for them, because if they have to do extensive research beforehand, your chances of being covered will decrease. The more free media coverage you have, the more likely you may reach new customers and therefore downloads of your game. A press kit lets people know how to reach you, introduces your business, product or service and shares your business story and facts. Optimize your kit for the type of audience you want to reach. In this case journalists in the gaming industry. Look at articles and what is covered in them and the predominant writing style.
