A couple of people have asked about DW flyers for distributing at conferences etc. I really appreciate anyone who is willing to do this, and I made the following a year or so ago:

EDIT: old version removed

I hope you appreciate my continuous, non-stop, heart-pounding spamming of the forums I frequent with these Darkwind flyers :)

I was actually just about to ask for a banner. This one is going directly into my signatures in the very few other games forums I frequent!

EDIT: I wouldn't mind a more high-resolute version of the jpg banner, though. For extra impact ;)

When I first read the title I thought perhaps you were talkin' of adding primitive aircraft to the game... d'oh!

Me too... I got all excited, thinking you were adding flying vehicles to the game. I had visions of that little gyrocopter from the Road Warrior movie. :p

Couple questions:

Can you update the flyer with newer images? The vehicle management image looks outdated.

And any new design ideas that can mention the factions patch? I really enjoy the new update, and think it would add a little more interest to the flyers.

Hopefully for Salute ;)

I'm going to rework the flyers - new images, yes, plus it really should have some mention of the reviews in places like PC Gamer. I'll probably bring some along to the Salute event in April.

How are those reworked fliers coming along?

I'll put out some flyers. Won't even bill you for the ink! I missed Garycon this year, but I can visit a few local specialty shops and get some posters up.

Here's a draft version of an updated flyer that I have been working on for the Salute convention. This is targeted at Wargamers..

Pretty much spot on I would say Sam.

Posted Apr 12, 2010, 8:06 pm
Thanks! I noticed a typo on the 2nd page, and actually a couple of more exciting looking images on the 1st page might be a good idea..

are you sure the whole community is mature?

gro is way older than mature

ff has never been mature
*sam*


Posted Apr 12, 2010, 8:43 pm
I never said every member was mature, just the community as a whole  :rolleyes:

The age being set at 20-40 would work pretty swell, I dare say. It wouldn't scare away the people like me, Rez, TheEvilChaos, and other young adults. :)
*sam*


Posted Apr 12, 2010, 9:11 pm
Well, 20-50 then maybe..

Again, I wasn't saying everyone was 30s/40s, just that an unusually high percentage were.

And yet again the over 45's are washed up before they even get a chance :rolleyes: :thinking: :rolleyes:

Posted Apr 12, 2010, 9:49 pm
edit: I meant 30s/40s, not 30-40 :cyclops:

Anyway, here's an updated 1st page:

You know advertising is supposed to be aspirational, right?  :rolleyes:

You might want to put a little note that the design your own cars; repair, maintain, and scavenge for parts; and wilderness travel, trading and missions require a paid subscription. 

Mostly because you specifically call out the fact that many features are free, so it's not a long jump to think the features being highlighted on the flyer fall under the 'free' banner.

Perhaps an asterisk with a note at the bottom?

Also, the Multiplayer Battles with Pirates, Traders, and Other Players bit sounds like there can be X on X on X battles which really isn't the case except in a few Arena events, right?

Love the inclusion of the ped impact.  :)

Does look good, only front pic I might change in the lower left one of Gateway.

A higher view version would stick out more and would show more of what a town looks like. The one there now looks like the corner of a building with some trees growing out of it.
*sam*


Posted Apr 13, 2010, 10:43 am
Thanks for the feedback guys.. you're right about the Gateway image LF, and in fact it should be layered in front of the central image.. maybe I'll put the BL image with Latte's trucks in instead, yeah..

RE central image - I always liked that one. One of our earliest ped tests, that character belonged to Diablo Vash and I ran him over at 50mph.. hehe.

I'll have a think about the 'Free' wording too, thanks Marrkos..

why are there no fabulous goat skins on it?

:cyclops:

Limited space goat.. fitting in plenty of critical hits and GUIs seems most important for a wargaming audience.

Anyways.. see (final?) pdf here (6.78MB):

I see one grammatical error, need to add the word "of" in the first sentence on page 2, “…without any of the effort OF rolling dice…”

Looks great though

Got it, thanks Marc.

I cant resist, have to ask about those screenshots, they must be pretty old, I've never seen the "Insignificant" damage message, and how in the world did you squeeze a mortar, 3.2l and 3mmg's in a mcfly? :rolleyes:

Yep, that was removed as misleading probably 18 months or more ago.

LOL well spotted. That screenshot was actually taken on my offline test computer, which has lots of weirdnesses in its database.. basically I just swap stuff around whenever needed to test them.

Much better, though I would have replaced the top left car with the most legendary car in all of Evan that also has one of the best looking skins you’ll ever see. Yeah I’m biased since it’s mine, but it’s still the truth. lol
*goat starer*


Posted Apr 14, 2010, 10:45 am
its number 158 on the 'best skins' list Foul :cyclops:
