One of the things Rising Phoenix Games is planning to do in 2018 is to step away from social media. 1v494j

Maybe our approach hasn’t been right, but we haven’t seen much interaction or sales coming off Twitter, Facebook, or Google+. I’ll keep those channels open, but we’ll be focusing more on making great games.  We’ll keep in with you through this blog and our email newsletter.

Marketing is important, and using social media to reach customers is useful, but I don’t need to compete with all the other businesses trying to take your hard-earned cash. This is also why our email and blog efforts are going to be more useful, filled with content you can use, rather than the hard sell.

The Patreon Controversy 313h3p

I’m also looking at starting up a Patreon page, specifically to fund the projects that solo adventures line, both launched this year, and have been well received. We’d like to give them the attention they deserve.

To be clear, our adoption of Patreon, if we do go that route, is not about people giving us money. It’s about fans being able to pay for the things they love and want. It’s a business, not a request for handouts.

What patron tier rewards would you like to see from us? Let us know in the comments below.

New Store—Coming Soon 3i292c

You might notice that we’re working on our very own online store. We’re aiming to make it as easy as possible for you to get our games, and those of our s, right here, on RisingPhoenixGames.com. The new store will launch sometime in the new year, around the same time that we announce our Patreon plans.
