In this episode, host Nalin talks to Ammon Anderson about marketing for T.A.C.O., which raised $10,278 on Kickstarter. We discuss: -          [1:15] The inspiration behind T.A.C.O., and where the first playtesters came from. -          [3:21] Being active in Facebook gaming communities and finding an audience for the game. -          [8:36] Learning to “leverage” the audience you build so you take advantage of follower’s connections to find other audiences who might be interested in the game: Word of mouth marketing. -          [10:42] The organic growth of an engaged community allowed for different dynamics on the Facebook group where people could participate and feel included in fun conversations.  -          [15:26] The importance of getting to know your audience and of being genuine online while doing it. Not overselling upfront. -          [22:27] Being open to feedback about your game is key for success. What is good for you, might not be for other players. How feedback made T.A.C.O. much better. -          [31:01] The key was to be consistent with the ads and the organic presence online. To keep the conversation going. And word of mouth from people who were testing the game. -          [40:17] How T.A.C.O. got funded at the very last minute! -          [45.05] Where you can find Ammon and more information about T.A.C.O.

BGMP 024 TACO with Ammon Anderson

Do you enjoy Taco Tuesdays? What... you don't? Well that could change if you had this game. T.A.C.O. is a strategic party game for 2-8 players. It's about collecting Taco Points before they run out. Out-think and out-taco your competitors by linking ingredient effects to strip your opponents' tacos and win all the Taco Points and the Taco Trophy! Your Taco Tuesdays will never be the same! This creator is very knowledgeable, with 20 years in graphic design, and a prior art-based kickstarter that raised over $8,000 US. In this episode we talk about how followers don't jump in on everything you do, we discuss how it can be challenging to get some types of games serious reviews, and plenty of chatter about art and game creation.
