Game Promotion

Hey everyone, I have been programming in Java for a while and I am about to graduate with a CS degree.
Anyways I have made a multiplayer tower defense game using java and I am having a tough time getting it out in the open for people to try, give feedback, and enjoy in general.
My question is, do you have any tips on sites I can submit the game to or other ways I can get the game out on the internet for people to try?
Sorry if this is not a direct development question. BTW the game can be found at [http://www.gauntnet.com|http://www.gauntnet.com] and it uses the [Java Instructional Gaming Engine|http://ai.vancouver.wsu.edu/jige/]

thanks for your guy's replies.
I have found another forum I am going to post it to also.
Let me know if you guys have any bug reports or game suggestions.

HTC Trophy / XBOX 360 Game Promotion

I bought the Trophy a few days ago (before the last XBOX 360 game promotion). I've been trying to get my free game, but every time I hit https://microsoft.promo.eprize.com/verizonphone7/?affiliate_id=freexboxgamenow all I see is that the site is down for maintenance. Is there alternative way to submit my info so I can take advantage of the offer? This was the final incentive to upgrading my phone to Windows.
Someone please let me know how I can retrieve my free XBOX 360 game before the promotion terms expire.

Try again ...I was having the same problem, but late last night was able to get into freexboxgamenow.com and registered with no problem. Just make sure you know your MEID number from the box your Trophy came in and the game you want.
Good luck!

No virtual desktops in Win10 (please fix)?: Dangerous game promoting app switching on different displays as virtual desktops

Seems virtual desktops are overpromoted - and in fact not about virtual desktops (changing content on the desktops). The socalled virtual desktops are right now
no more than app switching on different displays.
Dangerous game again from Microsoft promoting things as something they are not.
Virtual desktops are already a well-defined concept - and people will expect the desktop to be able to change content (be dynamic) ... the data and launching programs for documents, different backgrounds.
... but as others may already have stated in other threads: (Right now) Windows 10 does not contain virtual desktops/displays/screens. Not at all.
A skeptical hypothesis - hopefully it is not so, and we will be able to work with data in a valuable way. The data is on the desktop anyway today - so why not make it real virtual desktops? I simply do not understand the decision.
So here comes the skeptical hypothesis - it's not a Steve thing. It's Microsoft still looking for that next revamped business model to finance their future.
So the freak kind of virtual desktops (virtual desktops in Win10 a lie?) will disappoint - have already begun to do so - and seems Microsoft is just taken up with inserting an additional intermediary step towards relaunching the appstore and hiding
all the user data in cloud again. Really, hiding the difference between data availability - not making the cloud something MORE but making the local system something LESS. The NEXT BIG thing? So we're going to loose file system, folders and the general ability
to form concepts of our own - and get a freak system? The NEXT BIG thing - data integration? Because data was hidden away now. Also in local systems. Artificially creating new problems - rather than solving new interesting ones?
We need to able to pin the data onto the display whether desktop, start screen, what ever. It's also on the feature requests. Desktops/Start Screen/Original displays for workflows/whatever actual starting points on login ... needs to have
more links than application from appstores and application containers linked to them.
If any more app (read: not cloud, data) but appstore, appstore, appstore
application containers hiding the data away comes into the UI I am going with Linux. I am that close ...

A better name would be Virtual Display Layouts ... Virtual Screens ... Virtual Start Screens (please let us be able to pin files/folders to the Start Screen, a requested voted for feature for Windows 10).
You see, go back and read the topics for Windows 8 ... you will learn the Start Screen is/was the new desktop - and should have been made virtual.
So please get your act together and stop confusing everything ... and make on coherent system. Drop the Start Screen - and go with the virtual desktop
(put the Start Screen technology into the virtual desktop - and let users pin folders and files there as requested ... both local and in the cloud)

November 18 Midnight Openings?

So I checked out the Gaming Events page for the midnight openings next week, and on all of my local stores there is no information about it (nor have the news or events been updated in a number of months); is it safe to assume that there won't be any midnight openings in my area? Or have those pages just not been updated recently?
I did find an old page for GTA IV that had a state-by-state listing of stores participating (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/games-promotions/gta-iv-midnight-store-openings/pcmcat150400050036.c?id=... - is it possible something like this exists for next week's launches, and I'm just missing it?
Lastly, since I am in the pacific time zone, and the "midnight" promotions here typically start at 9PM, would it be possible to pick up my games right at 9PM (which happens to be the closing time of my local stores)? THANKS!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Franklin_J,
We are, indeed, holding midnight opening events next week! Grand Theft Auto V was recently added to our main Gaming Events page, along with Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition:
Midnight Store Openings
To find a participating store in your area, simply click on the game's listing and choose your state from the menu that appears.
As far as starting times are concerned, last week's staggered midnight opening events were specific to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare due to its Day Zero promotion. There's always a possibility other developers may choose to follow suit the future though, so the best advice we can give would be to keep an eye on our midnight opening announcements on BestBuy.com for updates.
I hope this helps.

Halo 4 midnight release participating location question

I have asked many times at the Soquel bestbuy, store #797 I think it is. I am always being given the run around and keep being told to check online. I can not find the page that would allow me to find out. Will the Soquel California best buy be opening at midnight for halo4?

Go here and check as well but it doesn't look like it:

Safari closes windows, opens App Store promoting some free game or just crashes. Virus?

My iPad air is barely a month old and I'm having issues with Safari closing, crashing or closing the tab that I am reading and opening the App Store as if I'd selected to download a free game. At first I thought this last issue was that I was touching adverts while navigating, but no, it appears to choose to do it all by itself. Is this a virus issue? I have cleared history, caches and cookies. Is there a way to reformat the iPad? Thanks in advance!

IPhone 6 Trade-In Promotion Code That Works

Okay, loads of posts about not getting the promotional amount and so on. I am in the same boat EXCEPT I haven't shipped my old iPhone back yet. I have been on the phone with Verizon three times trying to figure out how to get the trade-in page on their site to get the credit correctly stated so the shipping materials can be sent.
I received this promo code from a Verizon Customer Service rep this morning who actually called me back. It was accepted by the vzw site and prints a receipt with the appraisal amount as well as the difference between that value and $200 so it totals up to what was advertised in the promotion. It is working as of today, November 5th, and I don't know for how much longer it will continue to do so.
The website to use is: www.trade-in.vzw.com
The promo code you enter that is currently working is: CAREIPHONE6200-Z3PG-8DV4
IF you're planning on getting the trade-in promo amount of $200 they (Verizon-VZW) tells me I have until December 15th to send my old iPhone to them. Problem was NO promotional code. The old one didn't work after the promotion's end date. Of the posts I've read, most seem to be having trouble getting the full $200 pop for at least these common reasons/excuses from VZW (a contractor they have handling trade-ins). The list (likely not complete):
1) Cracked screen
2) Won't power on
3) Case cracked
4) Bad, missing or non-functional buttons
5) Lock code still active (prevents access--yes, it does)
6) Still connected to iCloud
7)Find My iPhone still active
Without documentation of the phone's condition the whole thing becomes a finger-pointing game. I've decided to do the following and recommend you do something similar if and before you send your old iPhone back:
1) On the old phone, go to Settings/General
2) In the right column of the General options at the very bottom is a Reset option
3) Use this option and select Reset Phone And Erase All Data (wording may different but it's close enough)
4) If you have an access code on the iPhone you'll have to enter it to do the process
5) Two, "Are you sure?," style prompts must be pressed to verify you REALLY want to do this.
6) After the second Are You Sure prompt is answered, the Apple shows up on the screen and following a complete reset and erase you're greeted with the Hello screen where you'd begin setup. At this point, the phone should no longer have an access code and should have been logged out of iCloud.
7) Go through the setup screens and skip the ones that ask you to create a lock code, skip setting up an Apple ID and password, skip connecting to WiFi, DO SKIP turning on Find My iPhone. When you successfully reach what will now be an original Home screen, RUN THE RESET AND ERASE AGAIN. This verifies for you that there is no iCloud connection, and no access code.
8) Take close up pics of the screen, the back, the sides, the buttons, the data/power port, everything. Even better, record a video and go from inspecting the iPhone's condition to and through a setup as described above to show there is no connection to iCloud or any access code. Then go begin the Reset and Erase process (still while recording video).
9) Lots of users here write of the poor quality of packaging provided for shipping the trade-in, so if you still have the original box put the phone in that. Otherwise use some bubble wrap or another small sturdy box so the screen doesn't get broken or buttons stop working from poor handling by USPS or other shippers.
Why pics and/or video? If you have to take the matter to arbitration or seek remedy from the BBB or other consumer resource there is nothing more convincing than good documentation.

I can absolutely see the confusion regarding your trade in promotion, chimera09. But no worries! The iPhone trade in offer has a unique detail that will allow you to wait until you've received your iPhone 6. You can disregard the 30 days from submission that applies to the usual trade in program. The original portion you listed "return your old device to Verizon Wireless within 7 days after receiving your new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, but no later than 12/01/14" is correct.

Can't pay off pre-order to join Gamer Club Unlocked in weekly ad?

So I got the Best Buy ad this moring in the paper and saw the "Join Gamers Club Unlocked for $30 when you buy any new game $39.99 or above." Knowing I still had 3 preorders outstanding, I called up the Rewards Zone 866 number and asked them if I would be able to take my preorder in and just pay it in full to satisfy the requirement so I could join. Of course is what I was told and just to take my pre-order receipt into customer service.
I head into Best Buy in Castleton, Indiana (#229) and head to customer service as told with the ad and explain I called the RZ 866 number and they told me to bring it to them. After the lady handling the registered called someone, he told me that it would be no problem and he would just have to cancel my preorder and then to just pull the game card and one of the Gamers Club Unlocked cards and the register would take care of it.
Then that is when everything went South.
I hand the individual the two cards and he proceeds to tell me I could join the GCU for $30 when I buy a game. When I told him I wanted to pay in full for the game he told me I could not do that because "it's two different systems." I explained that I had already spoken to the RZ folks as well as customer service and then he told me "well I should know, I'm the video games guy." I then told him I would just come home and call the RZ folks again, asked for his name and store number which he gave me in a smug tone and I left. As I was walking out the sliding glass doors he said "have a nice day" in a condescending tone. That set me off. I turned and asked the security guy for a manager to complain about the terrible customer service and attitude and the manager was apathetic in helping me. After explaining what I was trying to do, he said he "thought" he could help me. At this point I was overly annoyed so I told him to forget about it and left.
If you look at the add, nowhere does it say you can't pay in full for a preorder game to satisfy the requirement. Obviously it can be done because the folks on the 866 number said it would be no problem and I've seen multiple posts on several video game forums of people doing it at their local store. This is probably the third time in the last year I've had issues with associates at this store on advertised deals. So what gives? Lack of training? Employees that just don't care?
So now my dilemma is do I go to another location to see if they can help me or do I just cancel all of my preorders and find a new retailer?

Hello Jason,
Enuf is spot-on: since in-store pre-order deposits are not considered to be actual purchases, bundle offers such as our current Gamers' Club Unlocked promotion do not apply. If the title you reserved is released and you pick up your copy while the offer is still in effect, then you would be able to take advantage of the bundle savings during the final sale. Otherwise, you will need to purchase another title $39.99+ to be eligible.
As far as why your thread was moved is concerned, all My Best Buy Gamers' Club-related inquiries -- including those on promotional offers, benefits, and pre-order bonus certificates -- belong in this board. Our In-Store Purchase board is intended as a place for customers to post general policy inquiries, share their in-store experience, and obtain support for existing/prior purchases.
Thanks for your understanding, as well as for taking the time to post!

Mouse & trackpad is not working properly in flash games

I thought the problem was with my mouse. But even my trackpad behaves weird.
When I try to click this game (http://jayisgames.com/games/red-remover-player-pack-2/) or any other games before, single clicking any clickable spots in the flash game works. But in that game, I could single click on "Play Game," "Ok." "the red face," "Play" & box 1. But from that on, I must double click to make anything work. It's not that game that requires double clicks. I've been playing it for a long time, all only single clicks. From there on, I single click on a red box, nothing happens. Then I click on another spot, that previous click happens.
Not just on that flash game, I've tried many others ones, all gave me this click delaying problem.
When I try to click on spot A, nothing happen. Then I click on spot B, the click on spot A happens. So I must double click on everything to work.
I realize I couldn't single click on anything to work on any flash websites (sample:http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html). Clicking once just highlights the link, must click again to make it work.
Please try out that game to see what I'm talking about. I'm not promoting anything here. I got a serious mouse problem.
Thanks.

Same problem on Windows 7 in Chrome browser...
My Windows 7 one at work works fine though.....

I have downloaded a game, but it won't sync to my iPod. Even though it shows up on my iTunes. How do I get it to sync?

My problem is pretty much explained in the topic question. But I downloaded a game that was free during a promotion, it downloaded just fine. The app says it is downloaded in the iTunes store, and I can find it in my library. But when I click on Apps in my iPod it's not there. I cannot get it to sync, and it will not let me delete and then redownload the game.

You might have better luck go to the developer's website since it appears to be a problem with the app not with the iPod. Also, the developer would know about updates.
there's been a lot of faults with this app

Lack of Sony and Nintendo games for "Get $10" offer

What is up with the lack of Sony and Nintendo exclusive games for the "Get $10" offer? You guys have had tons of Xbox exclusive games on the list(recently Halo MCC, Sunset Overdrive, Halo 5), but there has been a severe lack of Sony or Nintendo games(The Order 1886, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse). Do you have some kind of prerogative to push mainly Xbox games? or are you getting rid of this offer since there are no games listed past June?

Hello Nightshde,
Thanks for sharing your perspective with us regarding additional titles you would like to see added to the "Get $10" promotion.
We've had some form of a pre-order bonus for video games ongoning for the past few years, so I would anticipate that it will continue. As new titles are announced we will update our forum post here. To share your feedback on specific games that you think should be added please visit our IdeaX board, vote up the ideas you like and list the ones that you don't already see.

Double Points for New Games?

I've been a Gamer's Club member for nearly a year now, and I've never seen the double points for any of my gaming purchases. Is there something else that I need to do to 'activate' this promotion, or is it just a glitch?
Do double points only happen when you purchase games for your 'preferred' system?

Hi house1548,
I'm very sorry to hear that our Gamers Club has only been half as awesome as it should have been for you since joining. I can imagine this has been a surprise to learn, and I want to get to the bottom of it with you!
I have reviewed your account, and everything appears to be in order, so I am not sure what may be causing the discrepancy. I have reached out to our partners on the My Best Buy team for further research, and as soon as I have more information for you I will let you know via a private message.
Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for visiting our forum.
Best regards,

The Right Way in Activating?? * Gamer's Club Unlocked*

Now if I get all of this working... And I pre-order lets say Halo 5.. It comes with a $10 Reward Certificate.. How long after do I get that? As it would be silly not to by the next game with that.Can it be used on another pre-order game like Fallout 4? If there anything else I should know about the $10 Reward Certs? Also thank you for answering my question

Hi JMattes,
First, welcome to the forums! You sure come out swingin’ with the questions.
Joking aside, I can certainly help out with all of your questions around Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) and some of our gaming promotions, such as Get $10 for pre-ordering certain titles. As far as the actual GCU sign-up goes, a trip to the store is required either way, regardless of purchasing it on BestBuy.com or in-store. So, you may as well just head to the store and do it there! It’s a very straight forward process and the store should easily be able to get you set up.
As for the Get $10 promotion, where you get $10 for pre-ordering certain games; please know this isn’t even a GCU specific promotion. This promotion is valid for anyone who is a My Best Buy member. The $10 is credited to you in the form of 500 My Best Buy points and you generally receive these points 15-20 days after the game is released. Yes, you can use this credit towards future pre-orders, but obviously not right away as you have to wait for the game to release. Here’s a list of current games on the promotion!
Lastly, GCU can be used both in-store, as well as on BestBuy.com. All you need to do is make sure your My Best Buy membership is linked to your BestBuy.com account and you’re set.
I believe this should cover everything. If you end up with more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! It’s what we’re here for.
Cheers,

Game Promotion
