You all know (at least the people who heard from me) that I was the head of SoxorStudios, a indie game dev team. But our projects stopped when we didn t have any coders. Now I have an new idea, and I think it will succeed with coding.
The Idea
My Idea is an youtube simulator (Like Tubestar) where it is your task to make name as a video uploader and need to make money from it. Their will be an equipment shop (for mics, cameras, sound editing tools, video editing tools etc etc). Also it will be possible to ask famous people…like football players, other video uploader, musicians etc etc to be a co-host.
You will need to earn subscribers and get a lot of views.
The Team
Currently it is just me, since im still looking for a coder who wants to work on a freebase open source game, and maybe one or two artists.
Open Source
The game will be open source since we want people to change everything they want. Also it will be possible to let people make mods to the game, or additional/replace art, sounds etc.
Do we get money from it?
A yes and a no, we will make an PayPal donation option, but it will cost no money to download and play the game
If you want to see this idea happen:
-Place a comment
-Like this post
-Share this topic
-Can you art/code ? help with it
Currently we need:
-Sounds (royalty free)
-art (royalty free)
-artists (who want to work for free)
-a progammer (who want to work for free)
-A community that wants to make content, give ideas, make fan art, and much more
There is a youtube simulator called TubeStar already made. Not that you can’t make another one, but it’s pretty good. They have website version, Windows Store, and desktop version.
Yes I know about that game (even playing it myself). But for example take game dev story, the first game that invents the topic game dev, after that game Game dev tycoon came…and after that gamers go makers. It are three awesome games, and I though, lets make a sort of Tubestar but opensource with a lot extra stuff.
Yes its really my Paint concept art (Although it isn t very worse ). And I agree with you…once you got everything…and have all the studys…the game is done…
@AnthonyVGNerd thx, stay tuned, news will be uploaded within a few days
@iSenzo This wont be like tubestar, I mesn the genre is the same, but everything else will be different. Tubestar wasnt originally built with gameplay in mind, so anything else you can expect to be completely different. We have already been thinking of tons of ideas, and are probably going to go with a completely different design approach than the concept art.
If you are going to so easily dismiss this when it hasnt even started development, then we probably dont need your support.
Im very glad with this large amount of good and supportif reactions
I loved Tubestar also…but once you can upload videos for a living (quiting your job) the game is done…and we wanted to make a game that feels complete…and since it is free play and open source (there will be a donation option ) we and the community can create as much as content as they want
There is a big chance that the current concept art (with some inprovements…like the buttons) will be the real art but this can be changed since it is open source, so its possible to make texture packs etc
I was thinking about making a game like this also. I guess I don’t need to anymore. I just wanted to suggest sponsorships and partnerships. Different partnerships will offer different advantages and disadvantages. The same goes with the sponsorships. The better the sponsorship or partnership, the more popular your channel has to be. If you would like we can collaborate. I am one of the head developers of an independent development company named BioVoid Studios. @Aswin_Vos
