So, I have a game that I'd like to publish, and I've been working though getting quotes, etc. with the intent of doing a Kickstarter for it.
As I've read through more KS guides (Jamey Stegmeier, for example), I'm seeing how important it is to "build a crowd" via social media before you start your KS, and I've just now realized how social media adverse I am. I have intentionally avoided Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and the thought of joining them fills me with dread.
With that in mind, how important do you think social media is for publishing a game via:
1) Kickstarter
2) Self-funded self-publishing
3) Submitting prototypes to traditional publishers
Thanks for your thoughts!
