A Gentle Reminder That iFanzine Needs Your Support on Patreon

Ruan Shiels — Thu, 31 May 2018 14:17:58 +0000

It’s been a couple of months now since I launched a Patreon for iFanzine, and while the initial outpouring of supportive words and encouragement from readers and game developers was genuinely heartwarming, the campaign has yet to secure a single patron. It goes without saying that that’s not great and doesn’t bode well for this (perpetually struggling) site’s future. I’m a pretty positive person though, and apparently the trickiest part of running a Patreon is convincing the first few people […]

Please Consider Supporting iFanzine on Patreon

We won’t sugarcoat this: iFanzine is in serious trouble. As a small, independently-owned iOS gaming site, we’ve been hit hard financially by recent trends like the rise of ad blockers and a dwindling interest in traditional online banner advertising services among mobile game developers and studios. Selling and displaying ads is and has always been our primary means of generating revenue, so we’re currently finding it near impossible to make ends meet and break even, never mind turn a profit. This has led […]

A First Look at the ‘iFanzine’ Themed Levels in ‘Unlonely’

Ruan Shiels — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 13:29:38 +0000

Have you heard the news? After years of diligently reviewing and covering iOS games, iFanzine is actually going to be in one! That game is Unlonely, Rinikulous Games’ upcoming sequel to their critically acclaimed low-poly platformer, Lonely Sun (our review). Needless to say, myself and the rest of the team here at iFanzine are beyond excited about Unlonely — and our excitement only grows with each new bit of info that comes out about the game. Enthusiasm levels hit fever pitch earlier today, when Rinikulous Games’ Nik […]

Giveaway: Win a $10 iTunes Gift Card

Ruan Shiels — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 16:24:12 +0000

Do you remember when we used to host a weekly giveaway here on iFanzine? Yeah, so do we! And we’re hoping to get back to doing it very soon. The only problem is our last couple of contests flopped pretty hard. I mean, they did great in terms of page views for the site, but not so hot in terms of attracting actual entrants. We’re not ones to sit around moping about that though; instead, we’re hoping to resuscitate you guys’ interest by […]
