Title: A KS level rec tumblr?
Post by: Hmpf on January 21, 2013, 18:17:10
I've been hanging out on tumblr a lot recently, because of a bad case of, errm, band obsession (tumblr is where all the fans are these days, apparently), and - tumblr being a very visual site - I've been wondering if I should start a KS recs blog there. I'd probably post mostly screenshots from levels I liked, combined with a sentence or two of description of the level and download forum links. No idea if anyone would actually "read" that blog, but if some people ended up doing so, it might - just possibly - draw a few new people here. Or it might not. But it seems like it couldn't hurt, at least?

What do you guys think?

In particular: do you think anyone could have objections to a couple of screenshots from their levels being posted there?

I severely doubt presenting levels you like and telling people where to get them would be frowned upon. It's probably a small thing, but most authors would actually appreciate any small gesture. I say go for it!

That's kind of what I thought... but you never know. Tumblr is a huge website, and people from a smaller community are sometimes wary of becoming too visible to the wider world...

I see what you are saying, but this forum is already public.. It's not like we are sharing levels you'd be presenting in private! I'd be interested to see the tumblr after you get started, personally. :)

I agree with BloxMaster here.

As SiamJai can say it so nicely: Once on the internet, it stays on the internet. :nuts:

So far I've been doing lazy blogging, by just reblogging other people's posts from the Knytt Stories tag on tumblr. That's now mostly exhausted, though, so I'll have to come up with content of my own now. :D

It'll probably be a slow thing, as I'm busy with about a million things at the moment. But I'm playing a bit of KS now and then, and it shouldn't take too long to take a screenshot or two, when I do.

*Bookmarks it* Looking good so far. I liked what musicaldaydream had to say about KS.

OOOO, I'm on the interwebs!  XD  Very cool.  All those screen shots are great for getting people interested.  I'll be sharing this.

Feel free to promote the blog wherever you feel it may be appropriate. :-)

I'm probably going to make some "how to get started playing user-created levels" post sometime, too.

Hmpf, are you still working on this? It's been a while since your last update.
