I know, I don’t post a lot in here, but I HAD to share this, sorry, if it’s in the wrong section, But, I was playing the demo, I had downloaded on a friends computer, just messing around, and was getting in the hole quickly had accepted a bailout, I researched, and began work on a sci fi rpg, I had NO idea, what to name it at first, and then recalled an old pnp sci fi rpg, and went with that name, ‘Star Frontiers’ as the bailout date loomed closer, I waited for the reviews of the game to come in… I must have performed some kinda miracle and game made me 2 mil, while I was still in my garage! I was dumbfounded, as I watched the review scores and money come rolling in, I smiled happy with the results, and saving of my company, but time waits for no man, and I got to work on my next game, as the demo ended…
Yep, pretty neat! It seems the game has a chance to allow you to get 2 mil on a game upon your first TES game, or on the Gameling to get you out of the garage.
It’s still a good and fun feat to take loans and then come out ahead… Although with the new office and medium sized games, you might had to have taken another loan on while building your next game lol!
Oh, really? Hmmm, well, this was a G64 game btw iirc, I will check, maybe I will screen cap the game in the game history and add it to this thread, OK, There we are, I think I might have found a fluke, but I will take it, and try to replate it, in my retail/full version! But yeah I might need another loan, but I was struggling, to keep my head above water, nothings as nice as sudden sucess, with a bit of blind luck, thrown in for good measure…
Yeah, that’s quite the luck lol!
Maybe there’s a difference in mechanics between the demo and full?
@Charlie @PatrickKlug
I’m curious now lol!
Maybe, I hope not, there shouldn’t be any differences in review scores, maybe in the whole market share, thing, resulting in different sales results, which I could totally see…
It was released during the holiday season I bet that had something to do with it’s success, but damn,I heard that games do better in the 4th quarter, and never seemed to release one around then, until now, damn what a surprise!
Yeah I don’t think the review scores will be affected… It probably was a higher market share, fans, maybe 4th quarter as you said, some luck and maybe demo mechanics lol!
It’s the perfect storm!
It’s just a guess, but I think it maybe a correct one, I am not for sure though…
H-…
how was that possible…
I call shenanigans.
I am not sure how it’s possible… @LineLiar I don’t cheat, and certainly would brag about it in a post, in a thread if i did…
It’s pretty easy to get +1M with RPG on Gameling.
Thats how I make my moneh first.
Well, as I said, I was using the G64, but thanks for the comment…
I has never got even ideal 10.
Neither have it… that I recall, atleast… So don’t feel bad…
