Jumpgate Evolution, the graphical advertising strategum(?)

vorlon31

There are some great artists at Net Devil by all accounts, so why not have them illustrate some professional looking graphical adventure stories, all set within the Jumpgate Evolution universe.

Then have them published at various MMO websites etc. around the web.

Firstly, all these sites yearn for exclusivity, be that interview or image or vid. This exclusivity can be given to them in the form of each graphical adventure published at their sites with no one story published in two places.

Secondly, this could be a great advertising technique, engaging individuals in the universe of Jumpgate Evolution even before the game is beta.

The GA (sorry lupin, your acronym usage is contagious) stories could be based on either NetDevil In-house storyboard work or even loosely based on stories submitted to NetDevil via the various fan sites (like here for example..) in competition form with the winners winning some ND/Jumpgate Evolution merchandise or whatever.

The MMO sites get something exclusive, the Jumpgate Evolution hungry get a sneak look via the GA's at game play options through the stories and other MMO players get drawn in too, building the growing Jumpgate Evolution aware playerbase.

What do you think?

i dont know how that would look, ships talking to each other. Sure they could put avatars, but that would be misleading cuz u cant get it ingame...

I think they should have a furry comic story out too. Furries were an important part of Jumpgate Classic, and they should probably get their own shard for Jumpgate Evolution

Didn't furries get shaved in the last patch?

netburnr

Are you suggesting the Art department take time away from their work to create a comic series?

I'm confused here.

If that is what you are talking about, that something we, as the fanbase, can do once we get enough screenshots...

ELPIRATA

If your refering to basically what EVE had in their main site... Id like it. Its basically a written story with amazing in-game graphics and other not-so-in-game stuff on them.

BTW, what the hell is GA?

Do we have an acronym's dictionary here Jump?

(I'd also want to know what means QFT and TBO)

I don't know if we will have anything as cool as a complete GA but we are certainly going to be releasing lots of cool story elements on the site.
