Okay, I trying to get some interviews from game developers about some of their games for my blog, Pariah's Guild (http://www.pariahs-guild.com) other than interviews from pc game modders, or gaming machinima makers. I often sent these emails inviting them for the interview, but I never get a response from them. Can anyone tell me what I can do to snag some interviews with game developers?

Post such a message on a BBS or other 'genre' type forum. Such a post here might be trolling visitors away from WD and possibly be subject to moderation (deletion of the post if it is more like 'seeking beta-testors' and less like 'help me fix what is wrong with this'). And if the site is 'commercial' (cash-generating), -it is more likely to be 'deleted' by moderation.

You could always post such messages ('test my beta game-site') in any of the dozen+ of topic-specific forums on craigslist.com... there are linux forums there too (although, mostly evil little rat-types that would rather insult the newbie and provoke them into flame wars..).

Visit other people's 'blogs' and 'how-to' sites, and there are almost always places for you to 'sign my guestbook' and you can leave a link to your site and often, a brief description thereof. You'd be surprised how helpful this can be..
