I've been doing this video game reviewing gig for almost 2 years now for websites and I'm looking for a way to apply for actual review copies of games.

Does anyone know where I can find the contact information for Game Publishing PR departments here in Australia?

similar is not the same as.

Your site would need a good amount of clout (not Klout) up there with the likes of Kotaku, Joystiq, Rock Paper Shotgun, etc... to get review copies. Basically they send the copies to sites that if their copy ever got out, they would have a hell of a lot to lose.

Did we have a similar thing going to happen? I remember reading about getting review copies of games, or something in the Staff forums. Did we ever hold up on that? Just curious, and this thread reminded me about it so I decided to ask.

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after
    the player dies?

    Carrying a PC or phone is so old school!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Squeeze your cheeks twice to answer calls!
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty you can use a "spawner" function on any object.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
