Remember that they exposure will also help OpenXcom ;) They have link to OpenXcom on their main site.

It's still going on (7 days left) and we're 4 votes ahead, now. Hopefully we can keep the lead...

Indeed, let's hope the lead can be kept.

Post by: H-Hour on November 21, 2012, 12:31:56 pm: We were so close for a while, but it looks like JStock made a big promotion a couple days ago. Your help here and on reddit has made a big difference though, michal. Much appreciated. There are still a couple days though. All we need is one good promo spot to take off, but I've tapped every site I can think of.

Post by: michal on November 21, 2012, 12:41:47 pm: H-Hour maybe try contacting RPS?

They've written about Ufo: AI two years ago:

Also https://www.strategycore.co.uk/ twitter may be good idea

Post by: H-Hour on November 21, 2012, 04:56:17 pm: I've already tried RPS, although they are a very long shot. Nice tip on strategycore, I've contacted them now.

Post by: SupSuper on November 21, 2012, 06:28:03 pm: Sorry to see you lagging behind, I voted for you too. And yeah RPS is tricky, while they seem to love X-Com projects (TTS and AI were featured there before), I contact them about every OpenXcom release and never hear anything back.
