Is it against the rules to help raise awareness in a video game ?

[Ensifer]

Lately been trying to help spread the word with a video game that a group over here in the Netherlands just made and are now over at Greenlight, kind of want to do it in NB but I don't know if it would go against the Code of Conduct in terms of it being seen as mere advertisement.

Please help me in this regard.

Raising awareness is the lie of 2014.

No, a message can be spread within the story line of the game or in the game play, lots of games, movies, animation and books have messages of awareness.

What are you trying to raise awareness for?

Hmmm, then how would the better term for it be then ? They are a new studio and trying to find their place to sum it all up.

This, only 6 viewers so far despite on how beautifully designed the game looks from my own personal perspective and quite fun during my try.

Yes, the game looks really lovely, very nice and it looks fun, a platform type fighting game.

However, maybe I'm dumb but what are you trying to raise awareness for, did I miss something

Wait, are you trying to raise awareness for an issue related to something in the game or are you trying to bring attention to the game, so that people support the game. I'm sorry I think I'm misunderstanding.

Mainly attention, since they been having a hard time doing so in the video game industry.

Oh I see. You mean is it OK to advertise the game to get more sales. I thought you meant that the game was trying to deliver a social message.

Well then. Why not, advertise the game where ever you get the chance, it helps the people making it and will bring enjoyment to the people who buy and play it.
