Steam instead of facebook
« on: May 19, 2011, 06:44:02 pm »
Instead of making the game on facebook, maybe you could put it on steam for 10 dollars. Indie games always get advertisements if the game is half way decent. Ofcourse you would have to polish it up a bit and add more content. You could easily get 50-100 players

Who would pay to play this game?
No-one.
Perks is good because it allows the full game to be played and only if you want extra do you have to pay, and there might be people willing to trade in-game gold for perks.

people like 2d games and are willing to play, looks at these games like terarria, minecraft, haven hearth. all of these games have elements that rpgwo use. none of them quite do it the same way rpgwo does it though. haven hearth is good but it feels slow. minecraft are based on servers created by players with no dedicated servers.

if you just polish this game up, add a slogan like "the players shape the world" then you will get players.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but at least make sure your opinion isn't complete garbage before sharing it with the rest of the world.

Here is a game called RPG World Online. Its graphics are crappy and you have to pay $10 to even see some gameplay.

rpgwo's art is pretty good sometimes. minecraft is also pay to play. there is an alpha version you can play but it doesnt show what makes the game great. people are learning that graphics arent everything thats why ive been recently overzealous with rpgwo

Here is a game called Terraria. It's completely based off of Minecraft with some extra wolf thrown in and it's a 2D Scroller.

oops the developers who really can't code worth a damn just made a tigering ton of money.

I completely agree that Facebook was the wrong direction for this game. Silverlight was also a stupid choice as well. In my opinion the new version is absolutely terrible but I think even the old version on Steam with some new content and admins actually around doing something is a completely viable option.

Yah, if he finished V2, you could do that, but V3 is in silverlight on facebook, so he is kind of stuck with it.
