What are Community Promotion Ads?


Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?


  • cool game development related open source apps
  • the site's twitter account
  • scripts packs or power tools
  • project or blogs from notable or just community devs
  • cool events or conferences
  • anything else your community would genuinely be interested in


Why do we reset the ads every year?

  • \$\begingroup\$ This is our new ad for this year. We submitted a community promotion ad three years ago, and it was reasonably well-received. I think there's enough crossover that this ad might see the same. Feel free to downvote if it's not. \$\endgroup\$ – HDE 226868 Mar 15 '17 at 17:46

  • \$\begingroup\$ This is a demonstration post to indicate how this should look when an ad is posted. It also doubles as your twitter ad, but it's up to you if you wish to promote it by voting \$\endgroup\$ – Grace Note Feb 2 '17 at 13:50

  • \$\begingroup\$ @JopV. There's also an Apple font there. :-) I think this qualifies as fair use, especially considering that I have modified the ghosts, made my own Tetris structure and given the protective barriers a heavy blasting with the 1x1 pencil tool, that I have put them together to make a unique image, that I am not claiming these as my own creations ("remember these?"), that it's not exactly detracting from the revenues of these companies (if anything, it's advertising their games!) and that nobody is making any money from this. If any of these companies consider it an issue, they can DMCA it. \$\endgroup\$ – wizzwizz4 Jun 21 '17 at 19:28

  • \$\begingroup\$ 3D modelling seems quite relevant to game design, imo. \$\endgroup\$ – user64742 May 27 '17 at 1:52
