ModNMod.com is a site that is dedicated to game modifications and total conversions. Game modifications (mods) have been around for many years. Mods are created as an add-on improving the original game with new gameplay, graphics, models, maps, and further enhancing the game to new levels.
The site has been around for several years now but was always on the low scale (although it is full of unique content). Currently the site gets about 300 visits per day. Last summer it used to get 1000 visits per day. I think that the site has a lot of potential but unfortunately I have absolutely no money to invest, and the VBB license is about to expire.
There are three parts to the site: content, user submissions and hosted sites (free hosting for mod teams).
Right now we have about 7 hosted sites. If we can attract more mod teams to host their sites with us, its a benefit.
What I think is needs to be done regarding content:
- To hire mod reviewers (someone who would play mods and review them). I asked around and it is possible to get a good review for $20.
- To hire people that can keep the content up to date. Although the site has support for news submission, no one ever submits news. Or we need to figure out a way to promote that option. In any case the mods db needs to be update regularly as mod teams release updates on daily basis.
What can be done regarding user submissions:
Right now there are very little user submissions. I think the best thing to promote that option would be to throw a contest. Again prizes are needed for that. But if we throw a good scale contest, it can really boost the site.
Not much money should be spent on advertisement as big communities such as beyondunreal.com planetquake.com, planetunreal.com, and other planet and gaming sites will post about our updates (contests, reviews, etc).
Those are just my thoughts and not something that must be done, so any input is welcome.
Right now I'm looking for a partner who can make things happen financially and help out with the PR. The site runs on a custom script that I've written. So if you think any nice functions need to be added, that’s no problem.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions, and again, any input is welcome.
Thanks
