I should build a site for my game soon but I was thinking about what alternatives are? Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a different approach & use MySpace, Facebook, YouTube..?

I've found Joomla to be very good as well. It's like wordpress in that it's a CMS (Content Management System) but it's centered less on blogging and more on building websites which can present information, display products, and even run an online business. I once used it in combination with a selection of plugins to build a website+shop for my family's business. Ebay uses it as well.

EDIT: Spike's website uses it too.

Thanx for suggestions, I've heard that Joomla is very popular & easy to use. I've never heard of Wordpress but it looks interesting.

..but what would be an alternative to the classic website concept? Is there some more global location that is strictly game-oriented that can be used as a substitute for a classic webpage, something similar to the Deviantart or Reverbnation? Can something like that be considered a substitute for professional game site?

YoYo Games lets its users do something along the lines of what you're asking for but its for Game Maker users only.

Its not a full substitute, but its a very good start:

www.indiedb.com

several users have profiles of their game there, including me. Check out the Engine page for links to those games:

http://www.indiedb.com/engines/gamestudio-a8
http://www.indiedb.com/engines/3d-game-studio

last link is for A6 and A7

Yes, IndieDB is great! Could be exactly what you need. It has an active community, each game (and developer) have their own page where they can post news, videos, images, upload demos, host a forum specifically for their game, and get feedback from players.

Oh, wow. Really? "Dungeon Deities" starts with a "D", and still it's aaaaall the way down the very last entry in that stupid list.

You guys and your fascination with letters before "D". Seriously. What, the other 23 letters not good enough for ya?!


Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.

Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!
