The new and crude game I mentioned in a previous post is now complete. It’s called The Great Poop Shoot.  It was a very quick and dirty project, and most of it was done in a few hours over the Thanksgiving holidays. Read more about it and play it under the cut…

There’s not much depth too The Great Poop Shot. You’re mostly just shooting poos as fast as you can before they get away. Obviously it won’t be an addicting game, but I’m quite curious how the subject matter alone will impact its number of plays. I’ll be sure to report on that later.

Soon I’ll be going through the process of distributing The Great Poop Shoot. First, I’ll enable the free distribution option on MochiMedia’s website. This helps to put the game on some sites without much effort, but it’s by far not the only thing I’ll want to do.

After that, I’ll be going through a list of sites that take game submissions. This is a pretty boring procedure, but it’s really necessary if I want as many game plays as I can get. One of the best sites for MochiAds games is Mindjolt. They have a pretty large player base, and new games get front-paged for several days. The only problem is that it takes 2-3 months for them to post your game if they approve it. I don’t think The Great Poop Shoot is really Mindjolt quality, so I won’t be submitting this one.

Should I try to find a sponsor? This is another situation where I would want a much more in-depth and polished game. Sponsors have a lot of games to choose from, and the good ones aren’t going to want their brand associated with games made in a day.

I’ll be writing a follow-up post on everything I did to distribute the game. Enjoy popping some poos!
