Planet Comicon

Planet Comicon was this past weekend.  Above is a picture of our booth, with Hellzapalooza (a horror novel) booth on the left and Jeff Balke (comic colorist) on the right.  It was great meeting our booth neighbors and all the visitors to the booth.  And it was fun seeing all the costumes and other exhibits at the convention.

As far as results of our promotional effort....not as much as I'd hoped, but not bad!  We entered people in a raffle for 4 prints of the monsters if they downloaded the app at the booth.  Based on raffle tickets, that would be 45 downloads.  But actually, we got about 41 downloads on Android alone (from 47 to 88) and 34 on iPhone, for real total of 78 on the weekend.  A lot of people took our business cards to download it later, so I guess that accounts for the extras.

Most if not all of those people registered accounts, as I can see them all in the database.  There are 22 new people on the Legends board since Friday, so 56 of the people who downloaded this weekend haven't found a monster yet.  That kinda surprises me, but then again, people may not have time to go get a monster right when they download it.

Nobody bought any of the prints that we made, so that was a bummer.  But then again, that wasn't our main goal.  Mainly we wanted to publicize the game, but I thought of printing the cards as a way to hopefully get some money back to cover the booth expenses.  Didn't sell any, but I'll be sending some to the raffle winners (we picked two).

By the way, total iPhone downloads appears to be about 140, and 88 for Android, for grand total of 228 downloads so far.
