Getting people interesteed in KSP

[techonce]

Well I work with a bunch of engineers and I am doing some pretty good passive advertising of the game. I have put up the KSP wall paper on my computer and on the 20" monitor that I am not using, it is there for everyone to see. Since i put it up a couple of weeks ago, I have had about 20 people ask about it. Although usually they ask if it is a family portrait.

ANyone else doing something similar?

I don't really know anyone that would be interested.

Too nerdy.

Remember most people don't play alpha built games. I think it would be hard to convince most people to purchase an alpha game. Especially when there are no missions/objectives. For most of us who already purchased it I would think something just clicked that made us love the game from the beginning. For me this is kind of a game I've been waiting for so long and was fortunate enough to stumble upon it. I literally don't even remember where I found this game!

Making youtube videos! I even just got someone from Reddit say a video of mine got them interested and started playing the game! That gave me the warm fuzzies.

I don't really have friends (by choice), though times like this I wish I did, if only to push this game on them. I have convinced one person to get it. I post about it on other forums, if I get the chance. Not much more to do than that I guess. Popular youtubers covering it seems to be a good way to get people in.

Well I am an engineer (Chemical/Electrical/Controls) who works with primarily with engineers (mostly mechanical) and I don't know if any have bought it, but there were a few that were interested, mostly for their kids.

I have always had a passion for engineering-type games and KSP does a phenominal job of bridging the simulation/design gap.

I'm sure it's a sign of some mental illness but some of my favorite games have included Mindrover, Free Enterprise, And Transport Tycoon.

I have a photo album on Facebook and regularly post updates about the things I accomplish. Found out 4 of my friends already play (a couple started playing again after a 6 month break), and got another person to give it a shot.

Generally though I'm sure its ignored by most people I know. I like knowing some are finding the game through me, and I enjoy bragging out things I do.

I plug KSP at every oportunity, in Yahoo Chat Rooms, Facebook etc...so far I've had people from the USA, NZ, Canada, Australia and good ole UK giving it a look. I'll continue to plug it too, because I love it and want it to succeed so that I can continue to enjoy for years to come - more users, more funds, more lifespan ..Win win situation from a little plug.
