Nexus - The Jupiter Incident > General Discussion
Future of Nexus Modding
DreamorCZ:
Hi, following message is from ModDB
--------------------------------------------------------
Greetings to All of you,
as you can see this message is intended to every Nexus mod maker here on ModDB. First of all, try to ignore my grammatical bullshits and I'm sending big pardon for them in advance.
We all have been doing a great job on our Nexus mods. We are sharing our knowledge about everything that Nexus modding can offer. We are helping each other as far as we can (or we should be at least). But we can do much more. You can be asking "what the heck you mean more" now. Well, there is still plenty things we can do.
You can also ask why you should do more when this is only hobby of yours, something that helps you relax. Yes, it is also mine hobby. But tell me, don't you want people to know about your mod, let them play it and be happy about it, make game developers know that you are here and capable of great things, be recognized for this, find more helpers through popularity of your mod to fulfill your vision? We all want to achieve something with our mod and doesn't matter if that thing is selfish or not.
Ok, what more we can do then? We need to work together even more! How? There is plenty of ways. Find fan-sites that are about your mod and ask them to promote you. Use local Nexus Fan Group to link your news and releases with it. We can create weekly news about all modding progress on local Fan Group. We can try to promote our mods at magazines about gaming. We can start working on CEP mod that will help us to get together even more and discover more things about Nexus modding. We can launch great united campaign during MoTY 2011 and by getting as much mods as we can to Top100 we can promote ourselves greatly and perhaps find some new blood for us. Try to find donors for our hubs like Nexus Skirmisher's Forum and creating multiplayer ecosystems. All is just about greater cooperation.
I know that all might seem a little bit visionary or crazy but think about it.
--------------------------------------------------------
then this part
--------------------------------------------------------
As you may know, I have posted news posts about BSG and Freespace on HerniWeb.cz (Czech gamming magazine) and those posts gained many hits and positive feedbacks. I can take it there even further to have news posts and articles about most of Nexus mods and even get support for us during MoTY2011 (it can be from dozens to hundreds votes). I have big "credit" there, so it won't be hard to persuade general editor about this but we will also have to give them something for that. That "something" should be (I think) adding their promotion banners (or links to their web) into every our news post and some promotion on our mod homepages as well. What do you think?
--------------------------------------------------------
Then there was talk about:
- Creating community hub
- Reviving podcast idea
Many agreed with this "power upping" of Nexus Modding but I ask them to show this support again on this public place.
jstubbles:
Yeah I'm all up for it. I can start pulling some strings with people I know - might be able to get the Nexus mod scene some media time.
Past two days, our BSG mod has been featured on a few big sites, including Blues News, 3DBuzz, GamerRanx and Reddit, all of which have been bringing a lot of new users to our ModDB and YouTube pages.
I'd be willing to help any way I can.
Arparso:
Incidentally I've lately been reworking my old personal blog, which I didn't use anyway, into something more Nexus-related. I'll probably also go ahead and integrate the forum, skirmisher-related content and the wiki as well just to centralize this part of the community a bit more and make it easier to find.

In the future I'd like to cover some news stories related to Nexus and Nexus-modding, maybe present some beginner tutorials, anounce mod releases and stuff like that. There's also a possibility for giving additional authors access to the site, so it need not only being me blabbing about whatever there is talkworthy - only if anyone is interested in that, of course.
EmeraldReporter:
Hey Dreamor, you need to post an article about the need for funding for Nexus 2! We need money, i just pledged 250 Euro.
How much will you pledge?
jstubbles:
I'm likely going to pledge the 250 as well. That's about $360 U.S for me.
