[Farsides] contacting portals for CS

[david blanchard]

Hi there,

for next week's meeting, I think we can both
1) directly submit the game on the website when available (typically
http://www.kongregate.com/games/new)
2) and write an email when there is one on
http://www.gamesindustry.com/search/channel

For the email, I would keep it as short and simple as possible => what
do you think of something like :

"Hello Jojo,

I would like to introduce to you our game https://cardstories.org/
<http://cardstories.org/>, regarding a potential distribution
partnership with 'name of the portal'.

This multi-player game focuses on creativity and imagination. The player
picks a word, a set of cards, and has the other players guess which card
matches his word.

I can provide you with more information on the game and our studio
Farsides <http://farsides.com/>of course, and I look forward discussing
with you.

All the best,
Toto"

re-reading the email, I feel it lacks a bit of sexyness... A bit too cold.

I'm not very good at being sexy ;) so if you guys have an idea of a
small additional sentence for the email that makes us look more 'human',
would be better. I'll think about it and we can settle next week when we
talk.

Gave it a shot:



"Hello <XXX CONTACT NAME>,



I've got your contact through gameindustry.com, which indicated that
you are the main contact for publishing on <XXX NAME OF PORTAL> - is
this correct? (And, if not, could you point me to the right person?)



The game we are looking to publish on <XXX NAME OF PORTAL> is
[1]https://cardstories.org/ . It's a multiplayer card game, focused on
creativity and imagination, inspired by board games like Dixit or
Apples to Apples. The player picks a word, a set of cards, and has the
other players guess which card matches his word.



Let me know what extra information you need, about the game or our
studio Farsides, and I'll compile it for you. Looking forward to
discuss with you!



Cheers,

<XXX YOUR NAME>"
