Money Making Ideas

When accused of hacking I often (jokingly) respond that I paid 20 bucks for +10 armour from "King Arthur's Store".

If they made certain customizations or whatever cost money I wouldn't hold it against them.

 

I'd actually buy for the first time a KAG themed coffee mug. I usually scoff at the idea of theme'd/logo shirts/mugs/mousepads... but KAG has swooned me.

I'm almost in love with Geti's art (and pixel art in general), I'd buy prints or some of his originals.

Actually, considering how we have so many talented pixel artists in these forums that's a neat idea.

 

Oh, I didn't realize. We were on basically the same subject. Ill know next time and Contrary, like I said, why would they add in-game purchasable items when they can add even more content to the game. Makes since unless they were selfish and all about the money money money like Blizzard. Perfect example of their real life auction house in Diablo 3. Blizzard isn't the only company, Bethesda did it with Oblivion, and don't get me wrong, I love Bethesda but money can do lots of things to people. That's why I kind of rather this game stay small. You wouldn't want MM and Geti to become millionaires do you? (joking)

 

You guys thinking what I'm thinking? (I'm thinking of official foam KAG weapon mock ups...)

KAG Lego Box set...?

 

Why everyone is against in-game buyables? That's the way to go for games in our world... i wouldn't mind having access to different classes or different weapons on a pay-for-each fashion. They will probably need to have the game on a finished state (remember, it is currently in alpha) and most youngsters will get angry when they see someone who bought a different class, weapon, armor or item, but that's definitively the way to go MM & Geti, i hope you get filthy rich with this and your next games, really! I have enyojed MM's games since a long time ago and it would totally rock to see him raking in lots of money :) would prove that indie developers are the next bastion for gaming (because *studio* games are sucking big d**k right now, they seem more like movies than games).

 

Honestly once zombies and other full game features are out tons of people should buy.

However, I love the tourney idea and once overworld is out it could become this game's main source of pay.

 

How exactly does that help? People act like money is actual fuel for MM and Geti to function. AAA titles need money to be developed because they work in a huge team in a huge studio. Unless you count motivation, if 1000 people buy this game tomorrow, I honestly don't think development would speed up at all. Just my thoughts.

 

Who's talking about motivation? i'm talking about rewarding those pals with loads of money because they have done a great game... it's not like they are in need of the money because they let the people play the game for free, but they deserve wealth because they've made great games since a lot of time ago.

And by the way, it isn't "AAA titles need money" it is the other way around a "title" is of class AAA because their devs invested a sh*tload of money on it to make it a "perfect" piece of art (that most times fail miserabily to deliver the fun factor, unlike most indie games that focus on the fun and not the looks, although lately i've seen lots of indies with good looks like KAG).

 

Okay, pixel art doesn't "look good",Crysis "looks good". KAG's graphics fit well because of the aesthetics and they were trying to get that feel. Whoever says pixel art "looks good", is utterly retarded.

 

Perhaps not but when it's the only pixel art out there it's refreshingly unique.

 

Tell that to E-Boy... LOL... they have a VERY succesful business around "pixel" art.

EDIT: BTW, Crysis uses pixels to represent the images you look at your monitor... so the term "pixel art" is a little bit wrong... whoever, i know that generally speaking, whenever someone uses the term "pixel art" they're referring to retro-nostalgic computer art resembling mid-80s to the 90s graphics on video games. That's a complete area alone, one that even the Smithsonian Museum of Art has recognized as important to the video game evolution as to have one area of their video game exhibit dedicated to this.

 

You meant bit my fingers?

 

I have never wanted a dislike button so much in my life. If these were my forum I'd ban you right now.

 

another idea:
Pay for a dislike button in the forums.
