Guidelines when announcing your game:
- One post per game. If you have 5 games to announce, it's better to create 5 different threads
- If your game has a paid and free version, post both of them in the same thread
- Try to post a video URL (it will be parsed, and the video will be embeded)
- Try to post screenshots using the the img html tag
- Describe your game for the gamer audience
- Describe your game for the developers audience
- Post the game homepage URL
- Post the AppStore URL (if applicable, post both free and paid URLs)
- You could also post promo codes
- Only announce games that are using cocos2d else, your post will be deleted, and you will be tagged as a bozo user
Below is a template that everyone should copy/paste as a starting point for their game announcement:

[BEGIN TEMPLATE]

Introduction:
MYGAME is all about ...

Why developers will find my game interesting:
MYGAME does x,y,z...

Why gamers will find my game interesting:
MYGAME does x,y,z...

Here are some great screenshots of MYGAME:
Use standard html img tags to embed screenshots (Please double check they are oriented correctly, we don't want any lawsuits over aching necks ;P)

[optional] Here are some great videos of MYGAME:
Use standard html to embed your videos (as you would get from youtube or vimeo or whereever)

You can read more about MYGAME at MYWEBSITE:

You can download MYGAME from iTunes here:
http://itunes.com/deep/link/to/mygame

I really appreciate all of the help I got from other cocos2d users here.
Here are some PROMO CODES for MYGAME.
Please write an honest review on the app store and report directly back here about any bugs.

The image tag doesn't seem to work.

yes, I've just disabled image tag because it was breaking the backtick.

The ability to edit my posts seems to be gone now and I have the image tags in them. Are you fixing the image tags? If not is there some way I can edit my posts to just have links? Thanks.

Yes, after 60 minutes you can't edit your post.
I'll edit your post after the <img> tag issue is fixed.

I feel a little lost, as my post seems to have been redirected to this thread. Did I do something wrong, other than using object to embed my youtube video? I tried to edit my post and change it but when I clicked edit I got redirected to the main page.
Help?

Hello,

I can't edit my post! When I clicked edit I got to the main page.

So is it ok to have a pre release and a release post for 1 game?

@imagineNET: Your post was tagged as spam. You have 2 hours to edit your post.

@vutronic: yes, but only when it makes sense. For example if your game is going to be released in 1 months, and you have a preview today, post the preview today, and when your game is ready announce it.
But the general rule is to have 1 thread per game.

@ashar.samdani: The App Store link is working OK for me. Perhaps another moderator already edited it.

I'm not sure , what's going on. I can see my earlier 'Rescue Razzle' post but not the 'Run Razzle Run' post which i just posted around an hour back.

Hi riq, I posted my game 2 times... sorry about that, I wanted to edit my post but like ImagineNET I can't edit my post because when I clicked EDIT I got to the main page. And I cannot delete a post, could you do it for me if you have time ?

And I did something wrong for the screenshots links so I would like to edit the post, if possible. Thank you very much in advance !

@elisabel: probably you have problems with the cookies. Try logging out / in again. If this doesn't work I'll delete the thread so you can post a new one.

i've tried to do so, but nothing changed when I logged out and in again...
could you delete the post ? thanks a lot for your help ! (why was my post considered as a spam ?)

@eslisabel: done. the spam filter used by bbPress thought it was spam.

I would like to reiterate the last point of the guidelines:

Only announce games that are using cocos2d else, your post will be deleted, and you will be tagged as a bozo user

Please mention that you have used cocos2d (thanking Riq and the other contributors doesn't hurt either).

Even then your announcement might get automatically flagged as spam - the best way to avoid that is to contribute to the cocos2d forums before you announce your first game.

Hello,

not sure why my image tags for iSuperMe game post are not working?
Can some admin please check if I did something wrong?

Thanks!

Hello,

also seems like I cannot edit the post, i.e. redirecting me to the main page? Probably the post was marked as spam?
