That could work, because really, business == politics. The only problem I could see, though, is that just like in the real world, once a business gets so big, it is basically unstoppable and defeats all competition because of its resources. If that could be balanced, it could really work well.ZeroComp wrote:Yes eRepublick is fun but I tend to favor multiplayer business tycoons. That would be awesome if someone could make something that is like business management and politics combined.

Re: Genre's
Ever since I had started with 3d halls has been making new games. He was really commited when we did the original Forsaken Sanctum, after alot of engine problems and some real life things with us all, we all kinda left it. Ever since then I haven't seen Halls make only one (can't say dedicate to one cause he dedicates everything he has to his projects)

You would be surprised. This game has made the creator over a million dollars, and it is nothing special at all. Neither is that famous mafia game on Facebook that makes so much money.ZeroComp wrote:I doubt an text game could make a million dollors without haveing uber awesomesauce gameplay

Re: Genre's
Text games are making millions of dollars easily. Orbit has over 30 million players! It has even topped WOW.
I have made quite a few games, I either sell the framework for cheap or I give them away. I have never really completed and released a game on my own but have been on teams that have.

Re: Genre's
I'd be happy if I finished a game that made thirty dollars... let alone millions. Because that would mean I actually *finished* a game!!
