Re: I made an unofficial trailer
But here comes the question:
I made a video to advertise for the game,but how can I advertise this video?
So awkward...Sometimes I even don't know what I am doing...

Re: I made an unofficial trailer
Hah, that was great. As for how to advertise it, I'm not sure either. Anything we do here would be preaching to the choir.

Re: I made an unofficial trailer
Hate to say this, but the most effective way to do that is to buy ad space from sites like youtube. Unfortunately, if you do that, it will be lost among the other ads unless you make it REALLY stand out, and people can't ignore it. Surely, you've heard of the infamous Mafia City ads. I don't even know if people play that game anymore, but the memes are alive and well.gaojicainiao wrote: ↑May 28th, 2019, 1:21 am I made a video to advertise for the game,but how can I advertise this video?

It's hard for me to do something on youtube,but I will try to let more Chinese people know The Battle for Wesnoth. The trailer(Chinese subtitles edition) was made for Chinese at first.

Re: I made an unofficial trailer
The "Chinese soccer"is a joke.
The word "揪心"(Translated as "exciting") also means "nervous"
Not only Chinese,all people know that Chinese soccer is terrible...Haha......

Ouch. Say no more. I heard talks of the rest of the world becoming like that unless Silicon Valley goes bankrupt.
Anyway, Mafia City is one of these generic empire builder mobile games that are only really good for wasting time and money and convincing you that you actually did something, until the server eventually shuts down and you feel like an idiot.
The ads on the other hand involve a bunch of cheeply rendered animations of characters doing things like escaping from prison, robbing banks or trying to propose to their girlfriend and dancing to goofy music, while giving you contradicting information about what the gameplay is actually about. The most common formula involves a "lvl1 crook" getting a bunch of money in a very unrealistic way (ex. Shooting the entrance to a bank while money falls out) and becoming a "lvl 35 boss", and the tagline "that's how mafia works".
Nowadays people are combining it with the latest Jojo's Bizarre Adventure anime, which takes place in Italy and centers around a mafia-like organization.
Bottom line, it was an unremarkable game, but because of the clever ad campaign that's just a hair's breath away from qualifying as false advertising, a lot of people know about it and some of them even ended up downloading it just to see what it's really like.

Actually,I can do little about advertising.I have no more to say about the trailer now...

It probably is hard to promote this without paying. I guess though you could always put your video on facebook or other social platforms? It is fun to watch and some people might want to play

Re: I made an unofficial trailer
Unfortunately, I gave up using YouTube. I deeply understand why my home country blocks YouTube. I don't like it and I hate it!
I have removed all videos on my YouTube account, so this topic doesn't make sense now. How can I delete my topics?

Regular users aren't able to delete topics. I can lock the thread though, if you'd like.

Re: I made an unofficial trailer
As many people know, "freedom of speech" is a big joke on YouTube. I don't mind, because YouTube is not my main activity platform.
When you say "China's society is harmonious", "I support China" and so on, YouTube will not support you, most of these videos won't have a high number of views, even can not be found by searching (Same to some other countries). When you say “China is doomed to die”, “China's socialism is evil” and so on, that doesn't matter to YouTube.
I also don't care much about it ↑, because most of Chinese can not visit YouTube.
Riots have been going on in Hong Kong (an important city of China) for months, YouTube becomes a platform helping riots against to my home country. (People in Hong Kong can visit YouTube directly.) Fake news around everywhere and facts are hidden. I am angry.
