I'm just curious what and how FPSC is being marketed in the U.S.? It seems like G4TV would be the perfect place for not only advertisements but a press release to them to do a review.

And what about the upcoming release of the new DOOM movie? What a better place to advertise than on the screen in the theaters before a movie like DOOM?

Anyway, I'm just curious because it does effect everyone. The more you sell, the more support/add-ons/versions we get out of it, right?

I consider myself an "investor" in FPSC. Rick or someone from TGC, care to comment on my questions about marketing?

We will be releasing FPSC in the USA via Enteractive. They have a markering PR company helping them too. They should release end of October.

What retail outlets in the UK is going to stock fps creator? I think it would do well in 'Game' and MVC. There seems to be an outlet in every town.

I can confirm in our local PC World (one of the biggest british computer distributors/pc techs) didn't sell very well with TGC's 3D GameMaker. Thats just our local shop though (which counts for nearly half of lancashire). Game would be a good place to start, but also how about getting a place on Download.com if not already done? For the Trial Version, plus surely TGC will have something up their sleeve in terms of funding of marketing?

At the end of the day they did well with MFME, Darkbasic and other products. They have the finance's and im sure they have the resources to do it. I would press on and get it done before Xmas to boost sales which this great product deserves!

Now the launch date has been reached, is FPS Creator in the retail outlets at the weekend? PC World, Game etc.? With right sort of stand/Advertsing I think it should do well!
