Downing's Basement

Being a modder, half the fun of completing a project is getting the word out to the masses that it’s complete. Sometimes such projects end up on major tech news sites and can send traffic and views of your You Tube videos through the roof!

So, this page will be dedicated to those articles that are written and links to the major and/or unique articles will be listed per project. It’s not uncommon that once the project gets picked on one major news site, several other smaller sites will re-post the same article on their site through RSS feeds or so on. I don’t count those, unless the traffic from them is substantial. With that said, I count the unique articles written because they are different and fresh and fun to read, even if they aren’t that big.

So anyway, here is a list with links to all the sites my projects have gotten on that I was excited to see divided between projects.

The OUYA Porable

As far as You Tube is concerned, this was my most popular project. Didn’t realize it’s been over a year since then and I never posted it in my press location. This made several large sites as well and got me involved with the OUYA forum community.

Polygon Hack-A-Day

The Cross Plane

By far the most covered project I’ve done to date and also one of the most misunderstood, or so it seemed. It came back with such mixed results that it was very difficult to see which side was the clear winner. Though this KickStarter wasn’t funded, it was still one hell of a ride to get to that point!
