CS2D General How to promote CS2D
Why Off-Topic? There is a CS2D section! "game" is a totally generic and therefore useless title! Please change it to something more meaningful like "how to get more players" Threads like this one are opened like every few weeks. It's boring to see the same stuff again and again. Maybe search properly before posting. You may just use an existing thread instead of opening a new one.Of course you can support CS2D by telling friends about it, by making blog/social network posts about it, by making youtube videos about it, by making cool content (maps/scripts/skins/mods etc.) for it and much more.
Black Wolf: And what do people get for donating? Super User rank on the forum? Yates: Better game...?
Black Wolf has writtenDC, make kickstarter. Use little bit money for cs2d because its already good in this way, but use rest of them for advertising. I would donate you some money if others will too.
Use a little bit of money?
So why don't ya give him? It's not always so easy to use a little bit of money, especially when he needs to live his personal life and buy expensive software for programming.
DC's biggest problem definitely isnt money. It is indeed the time he can invest in his projects like J192 mentioned already. I bet he would love to have a dev team to create bigger and maybe better games but there are few things about that, he will have to manage everything if not doing the whole coding stuff too which will also costs him the same amount of time as it does now. The games will cost money then ofc as he has to pay his team. So why wasting money for things that will also take his whole spare time like it does already. Im sure he thought about things like this himself a couple of times, but as unreal softwares whole content is completely free he wont have to spend like 10hours a day just to release things much earlier. Idk if its fully correct because i just guessed so and it's the most logical reason for doing all the mess on his own. Money isnt everything in life, it's not worth to spend his whole lifetime in going to work and develop his indie games the rest of the day If you havent anything beside these two things. I think he's happy enough when he gets the money for the server through ads etc. (Even if i dont think this brings enough money for him to got a +- nothing balance)Tl;dr money wont help
DC alot as it will also bring more work. edited 2×, last 21.05.15 07:19:03 am
It won't be hard , i know a game like cs2d , it was new , they made a request to be added to steam and it has been added , the number of the players play that game is now 70% more than before steam release..
Why we don't try ?
Also ppl stop playing cs2d because some of the servers that they love has been off for ever , and they got bored and left..
Seriously, that "get more coders" and "add it on steam" crap have been opposed so many times with so many good reasons.

READ THIS:
SmD has written
CS2D is full of copyrighted shit ... the name "Counter Strike" the radio sounds and so on... DC said thats the reason why he wont put 2D on steam greenlight or wont promote it
Kirito2K has writtenWhat about adding cs2d to steam ?
Did you even searched before thinking about this?
It has been said a couple of times and then rejected because CS2D use the contents (not all of them) from CS 1.6 and is illegal.
If you don't believe me then read
Steam Greenlight and this 
US Games on Steam Greenlight and you'll change your mind.Anyway, going back to the topic, I think advertising this game or bring more people to play CS2D is not that easy as you think. And as other guys said above, the money is not the reason for it. It would be awesome if there will be more people at playing Counter Strike 2D but again is not easy.
Youre wrong, money can buy time. For example, he gets money from us, he can pay hes rent and have more time for cs2d.
Yes, this game is illegal if we put this in steam, but what can he do with this money? Buy copyrights.
I understand its not that easy and im not expecting this happen in couple days. If we just think this way and just give up, nothing will change. People are getting older, less time to play. I started this game with my 2 other friend and later 1 more. They are all gone because they dont have time, but im still playing and wasting my time. Less people join, more leave. This game made me very happy, i have never played any game such a long time, ill play thid game as much as i can and support this game. Im still living with my parents, just couple years more and ill help this game; donating, advertising etc.
