An Important Question for the DToid Community
bogart27 \| 9:27 PM on 01.24.2009	17 comments

Hey DToid,

My name is Andy Smith, long time reader, occasional commenter. In the spirit of the community I need to ask a very quick question. I work for an unnamed company up in Canada, and what we do is help independent (and not so independent) game developers to publish their games on social sites. (Facebook, MySpace, Ning, etc.) We're also working on some other fairly cool things, but, here's when my question comes in.

Is it cool for me to blog about the stuff that I'm doing for work if I genuinely believe it would be interesting for the community?

Wait, I lied, I have two questions, does anyone actually care about this?

Let me know DToid.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

As long as it isn't some spam riddled blog it's fine by me.

Ya, it's always cool when people from the industry post about stuff. Obviously we wouldn't with it if you just promoted your company, but like Takeshi said, if you don't spam, we would definitely be cool with it.

Mushman

Yes, please don't spam us!!

But aprt from that, yes we do care and yes a lot of people do read the blogs and will comment on your blog, be it good comments or bad.

PLEASE, for futher help, go read the community rules,link located on the side of the I believe, hope this helps! :)

Your views and opinions are as valid as the next person as long as the remain relevant to games.

Facebook and Myspace games... I dunno man, I dunno.

Put some stuff about the development process and we should be good.

...Kiril? That you?

Haha ignore that, totally missed that first line

Wexx

Yes, but get an avatar :P

Seriously though, as long as you find it interesting, I'm sure at least one other person on this site will read it. So go for it. Make sure it's not just pointless hyping of a game though, have your articles be interesting anecdotes about working in the industry or the design process, and people will dig it.

don't spam, and you'll be fine.
