That's an interesting issue. I think you can make a pretty significant dent in marketing without really spending a dime, and I'd love to chat with you about it.

My background is marketing, but I'm currently in a producer role at a game company right now, and maybe I can take a look at your marketing efforts during off-hours and give you some suggestions? Feel free to reach out.

I make games for children, not something easy to market for. In fact, some of stuff that I make are not even game, more like toys.

But yes, I would with to talk more about it :)

On that note, is there a good "marketing news" site for children's games? I have an autistic son and much of the improvement in his hand-eye coordination we've seen has come because of Mario Galaxy and racing games on the iPad and I'd love to find other games he'd be interested in.

I think it would be incidentally helpful to hand you a list of these sites - in the act of helping speeder, I would be researching a list of these websites. Happy to share!

Thanks!

By the way, I would also such list ;) (I will enter in contact with Jon)

And many parents of autistic children praised both our music box app and matryoshka apps, because both require good hand and eye coordination.

(my site is www.kidoteca.com)

Thanks, will check it out better when I get home (and don't have to use IE 7 ;) )

Speaking about games for children, have you seen http://www.fungooms.com ? In my opinion they are the best and sadlymthe author didn't raise emough backers in kickstartermfor an iOS amd Android port.

My email and my twitter are in my profile, feel free to shoot over a quick message and we'll talk shop!

That's a tough market, but I would love to figure out some way to help you out.
