Hey #mastodon folks, I have a basic question: as I'm making a web based game / mmo, how should I make some $$$ from it?

I'd like to avoid ads, but is there an 'ethical' add provider?

Should I try to sell subscriptions? Tokens? Just depend on donations?

Is it even possible to make $$$ via a web based game / site in the modern world? #gamedev #monetization #games #webgame

👾​ Here's a couple of great retro titles for the PlayStation 1. Driver 2 and Sim City 2000.
The Driver series was my first true open-world driving simulator games & it blew my mind spending entire summer vacations playing them.
Sim City 2000 was another game I would play for hours at a time. I drove my parents crazy (they found it boring), but I played it for years and it never got old. Will Wright (creator of Sim City/Sims) & team are great folks, I cannot wait to see what the next fancy new thing is they are working on now! 😉​😉​😉​

Can we get a #SimontheSorcerer re-master please.

No, the 25th anniversary edition, running in ScummVM isn't it, a proper one.

If we don't have higher quality audio recordings available it will also mean bringing in Chris Barrie to do Simon's voice again!

22 years ago #OTD Silent Hill 2 was released. Still one of the most complex, dark, and gripping titles of the survival horror genre. Touching upon themes of trauma, grief, guilt and punishment, and blending them with metaphor and the horror element in a way not many games had done before. Quite possibly the highlight of the entire Silent Hill franchise.

#SilentHill #gaming #VideoGames #games #Konami #horror #SurvivalHorror #RetroGaming

Complete front and back cover for the 2001 North American release of Silent Hill 2 for the PS2 with the following text on the back:


THE SILENCE IS BROKEN...

James Sunderland's life is shattered when his young wife Mary suffers a tragic death. Three years later, a mysterious letter arrives from mary, beckoning him to return to their sanctuary of memories, the dark realm of SilentHill.

Now James must go back to that special place to uncover the truth, unaware that the answers he seeks require the ultimate sacrifice.

Return to Silent Hill in an entirely new adventure with all-new characters and monsters.
Battle horrifying creatures with a new arsenal of weapons and items.
Riveting storyline, stunning graphics and true-to-life CG movies leave you on the edge of your seat.
Atmospheric lighting and ambient 3D sorround sound shift and change at each terrifing turn.
Dynamic camera angles, beautifully rendered environments and real-time weather effects deliver a cinematic horror experience.

Oggi compie 26 anni il gioco online per eccellenza ULTIMA ONLINE. ❤️

Quello che in realtà io (che non sono per niente un video giocatore) non considero neanche un gioco, ma una vera e propria vita parallela online. Ci ho vissuto per anni dentro a cavallo del nuovo millennio (ricordo una bolletta telefonica epica di 1.200.000 lire nel 1998 o 1999) e porto ancora dei ricordi indelebili come se li avessi vissuti in prima persona.

Ho ancora una virtual machine con Windows XP e tutto l'occorrente per accedervi (Razor, EasyUo, UoAutomap, client vari) che ogni tanto accendo per fare un giro. Ho giocato pochissimo sui server ufficiali, molto sugli emulatori. Ricordo ancora la nascita di Sampei su Moon, poi diventato Sampei di Yew guildmaster dei KEA ed il suo famoso shop "Archi & Balestre" su Universo, poi UoDreams... Poi un sacco di server internazionali... Tutt'ora se ascolto quelle musiche mi scende una lacrimuccia!

C'è qualcuno qui nel fediverso che frequentava le vaste lande di sosaria?

Just learned about rock-paper-scissors-fire-water but I disagree with the premise about water losing to everything except fire. It beats scissors because they rust or sink. It beats rocks because they sink. It beats paper because paper dissolves in water. If we're going to say fire beats rocks and scissors (because apparently it can melt them?) we need to acknowledge water's power.

My partner and I like these types of games and we get annoyed when there's "puzzle games" or adventure games built around them. It seems like only Artifex Mundi does these things, and buries them in traditional #games puzzling.

Like, other than Mystery PI from forever ago, does anyone do pure #HOG anymore? Or is only ever #HOPG?

The only time I ever bought an issue of a partwork was a knitting magazine, because it was 99p and came with a free three-ring binder. Those were practically impossible to buy in the UK and I needed one to fit my copy of "Man to Man," the pre-GURPS combat book from Steve Jackson Games, which was punched to fit them. I would never have considered blowing £770 on a D&D tutorial series.

ok, here's a long shot: does anyone know of an browser-based html, text adventure but sort of RPG game, sort of adult-themed where the beginning scene puts you in a tavern and a character walks in from outside disoriented and unable to recall stuff?

The colors are like yellow and brown and looks kinda retro. Lots of text but some images. The characters, if I remember, are maybe anthropomorphic, maybe furry. Haha, sorry!

Mercs from your crew with the right skills or connections have a better chance, but they'll be unavailable for other jobs while completing it. Worth the tradeoff?

The Unity's new "softened" pricing and policy changes are NOT good enough and they don't fix anything.

The dreaded "runtime fee" stays!
The nuts CEO & board stays!
They got what they wanted.
They WILL do this again.

Self-reported install counts will still be a nightmare and I am sure Unity will track this silently anyway.

Unity already twice silently altered their ToS.
Another "pinky promise"? SUUURE.

While I was on Warframe doing trades, I noticed at least 50% of the people after trades would say, "thanks, bro" :blobfox_nauseous:​

Before, I just said my usual, "Thanks a bunch~ <3" bit and left, but after a while, I got kind of curious...what would happen if, every time I was addressed as "bro", I automatically addressed them back as "sis"? :zerotwo_learn:​

So far, after 15~20 instances of it, I've had a few people be confused or be weird about it, but haven't had anyone go on a full-on tirade :leafeon_giggle:​

Recently I found a copy of Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure, and I have been playing it a bit this evening.

It's a true nostalgia trip. A lot of gaming memories from my youth are thanks to my dad. My parents divorced when I was young and once every two weeks my sister and I would stay the weekend at my dad's, who at one point bought us a Mega Drive. 🙏

I never owned this game but we often had rental games and this one we rented quite a few times! ☺️

It's a great platformer! It borrows heavily from other games in the genre, but in a good way. There are many stages, and the difficulty ramps up quickly! I'm glad this game has a password system~ 😅

Some parts really need memorizing in order to get through. I don't have much patience so these kind of games are not something I can play all evening without losing my temper, but it's a very enjoyable title. The music is great as well~ 🎶

Working on a thing. Not entirely sure it’s a thing anyone would want, but I quite like the idea.

Resource packs of silhouettes, for use in games, either for players or makers.

Starting with some sci-fi characters, because sci-fi is my happy place.

Some sci-fi character silhouettes I’m drawing, with a thought to making them available as resource packs for the games community.

A good summary of the ongoing #Unity trainwreck and its repurcussions. Also features a potted bio of CEO #JohnRiccitiello and his long track record of aggressive monetisation and general dipshittery.

"Unity closes offices, cancels town hall after threat in wake of runtime fee restructure

"Backlash has spilled offline and into potential violence"

We should make more #games for the sake of exploring what's possible with interactive narrative and creating new kinds of spaces to explore

Attention, loyal citizens!

It has come to my attention that some citizens are still using the antiquated practice of "private thought." This is a dangerous deviation from the modern societal norm.

Please make sure to articulate every passing thought while recording yourself for social media, or speak loud enough to be recorded by local passive surveillance systems.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I just found out that more than 6000 people have downloaded my PhD dissertation on forum-based role-playing games, and my mind is blown 🤯
(I never thought to check)

And more than 17,000 for my master's thesis on #ttrpg in the high school classroom 🤯

I read a lot of theses and dissertations when I research. It's good to see others are getting use out of what I wrote. And I'm glad it's freely available. It should be.

I'm working on some art for a new Kickstarter. It's a very cool ship-making toolkit for rigs and tabletop games, for players or GMs.

There's going to be a lot of cool stuff included, so go follow the KS for updates.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/72stations/an-infinity-of-ships

And here's a peek at some of the stuff I've been working on…

i posted the curation of alternative game engines (alternatives to Unity) on my @itchio blog as well:
https://itch.io/blog/588977/the-generous-space-of-alternative-game-engines-a-curation
i really hope that this will be encouraging to some devs thinking of quitting games due to these bad decisions. there are a lot of alternatives!

#introduction time since I've moved to a new instance (from @gpage), and my one plea for boosting this to assist in federation help. Thank you.

I play #games, specifically #boardgames, but I'm open to others (both digi/analog). I've done a lot of #boardgame playtesting in the past (including, but not limited to; Root and John Company from Cole Wehrle, and Gandhi: Decolonization of British India from Bruce Mansfield) and I still do. Although anymore, I usually limit that to really digging into one title for a few seasons to see it through the entire process over playing just one or two iterations of something at an Unpub event or short sprints.

I find it interesting why people like the games (or things in general) that they do. I'm quite a curious critter in that regard and likewise I love stuff like the Richmond Forum or TEDTalks that make me think (and I read the London Review of Books somewhat regularly).

As such, I find #boardgamedesign to be fascinating from a #systemdesign perspective. Some of that is because I've built a long career in the IT system design and implementation space. In 2023, my spouse challenged me to finally get off my duff and design something to play with friends. That's a... "work in progress" at the moment, but I'm happy to discuss design challenges with folks.

For my #wargaming (and history) interests, I have nerded out on the #ColdWar and it's various dynamics/locations plus Japan until WW1. I usually play #wargames for a series of iterations and then trade/sell them unless they hold steam with my group or are otherwise special. Shelf space is at a premium and I think a game that doesn't get played because it's just sitting there could go to a home that will enjoy it more. As such, I use a modified Jones Theory for keeping games, and I churn through a bunch every year.

I do paint minis, mostly in the winter months because my setup isn't conducive currently for summer painting. I prefer CMON's Arcadia Quest or other various SD-style figures for that purpose. I am the proud owner of assembled terrain (!!!) and I don't think has ever seen the light of day...

Otherwise, I enjoy most forms of music and in a prior life did on-location audio recording and some spare time as a roadie for smaller bands. Modern country and 50s rock are two areas that I shy away from though.

Covid caused me to take an interest in spectator sports, specifically stuff that is off the beaten path. I now somewhat consistently watch Cricket (T20 and some ODI), Cycling, and to a lesser degree Rugby 7s. In general, I'm more likely to watch women's iterations of sports when possible (I find the dynamics of play are more interesting than the men's side). We've been a season ticket holder for the local soccer team since before they last won a championship (2009).

2 cats (sisters), and one spouse. We (technically) have a garden and make haphazard attempts at keeping it alive and tended. Send me your cat and boardgame pictures please. I've had exactly one dog in my life, and they were the best dog...

#Tradle is 1 of my favorite one-a-day web #games. Guess the country based on its major exports.

https://oec.world/en/tradle/

Playing most days has helped me improve in #geography & #economics. I've gotten a rough sense of what kinds of countries have yearly exports measured in the millions, billions, or trillions of USD. And sometimes I guess quickly and feel awesome because I remember, e.g., key ag sectors in Malaysia from plot points in a @zencho novel.

Code seems to be: https://github.com/alexandersimoes/tradle

#Poll: for those using #Unity3D to make #Games (#IndieDevs but also everyone else):


Since #UnityEngine seems to really make abdurd pricing structure changes, what are your going to do?
