Would you play a game where you play as a butterfly?
I want to create a 2d horror RPG where you play as a butterfly/death butterfly and I'm just trying to figure out if that would be weird concept to put the player into a role of a butterfly.
I wont say my full idea cause its very unique, it will be my first game and feature a mechanism that I've never seen used in any mobile game that will separate it from most games out there.
I'm getting inspiration from Japanese horror and anime, so its going to be very spooky, as i have graphics and art background the look will be very professional and I've spent months on the idea and gameplay design. (i had initially wanted to make it an animation, but then i got a nexus 7 and android overtook me lol next up a 4 and 10 arrgh lol)
I'm just really curious if people could get involved into a game that doesn't focus on humanoids, because its going to be a Kickstarter, and i am going to use unity pro and will probably be free.
Thanks

Hard to say if I'd play it with such little information given, but butterfly or not, I think if it's a good game then people will play it regardless.
There are games that let you be a worm or ants, so why not?
I can remember a time when I was just a pixel trying to survive.
Don't you think it is strange asking people to play a game if you are not willing to disclose the info about it. Playing as a butterfly could be horror on its own! Just create it and make a demo/preview.

Well im just gathering info on peoples thoughts of course I'm going to reveal all the details when i fully launch the Kickstarter just not in a forum thread when my game hasn't got past the full proposal creation.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
i probably would not, but im sure there are others that will. just think of the size target audience for the app and if the time/effort/money to create such an app is worth it.
Not trying to be a downer, but if you're planning on Kickstarter to support your idea, I would think twice. Kickstarter typically works for people who already have a name in the industry..

yah only thing i love about the iphone is games thats it, but there bringing good games over like cut the rope very soon. but idk about fieldrunners i think its an ios exclusive
Robo defense is very similar....
I wrote subatomic studios a very professional email about porting Fieldrunners to Android. I pointed out a lot of stats regarding the success of Android. (like they don't know anyway...)
I haven't heard back from them after a few months.
I've played robo defense and it's not nearly as good.
they have a bunch of similar games on the android like robo defense which was mentioned before i think its called tower defense is one too u just gotta look for em
just get an ipod, thats what I have...
Little piece of apple. without the horrible signal and ugly prices.
i have Robo defense its just not as polished as field-runners but it is still really good
The other way u can do it is have a friend do it for u but u can't upload it so no gets in trouble just giving ideas

Hey people. Fieldrunners HD is free in the Amazon Appstore today. Just FYI.
I decided to give mobile platform a try. I worked before alot with java and it shouldnt be a problem. Im going to make start with games since they are way more fun to code than utility apps. Now the first problem would be the whole idea and concept of the game. I was thinking about some sort of sneaking game where you have to remain silent(not moving too fast), avoid lights and maybe security cameras. This would have traps along the way as well. Developing levels is not easy but this sort of game will just not work on score.
That's my idea. Now...tell me your ideas about a new game concept. The more ideas I get the better it is.
That sounds just like Metal Gear

And since theres no Metal Gear for Android, (besides fpse), I say go for it.
Gameloft has made a career out of offering us games that the original devs for whatever reason don't offer us on Android.
**note: I love Gameloft games, they are at least high quality knock offs of popular games.
something like transformers where player can become robot and car both and fight with other robot (maybe via internet too)
Huge multi player online game

Hello, i have ideas to several games, all of them multiplayer.
Multiplayer via wifi or data connection.
I think they can be very successful, something Android havent seen yet.
But i dont think they can be made with one dev only.
And im not a dev.
That would mean having a server...

What about a tower defense where you actually have the towers already made but must place proper soldiers in them like archers, mages and healers. Why healers? Because you also get shot and die :d

A bomberman clone of some sort ? Definately with local and online multiplayer though or else it would be "just another bomberman clone" .
All of these games that are "free" but when you play them the gold is crazy priced.
Blood and glory.
DH3.
Order and Chaos(Not free but same idea).
Gun Bros.
Six Guns.
And I am sure there are plenty more that I just haven't found yet.
Add six guns to that list as well. I actually ended up using my credit card on the damn thing to buy the currency.
Nothing is really free in this world it seems...lol

And in Blood and Glory you cant even kill the first guy. Crazy.
You also notice that lots of these games have posts on Google Play and Amazon App Store of people who have paid money for extra stuff and they never get it. I just wish that developers of these games wouldn't be so greedy.

yes but telling that game is free and then wanting money from user in the middle of it to get to the next level is simply fraud.
They should really stop using word free and come up with different term to call these games that force you to pay or go away.

Exactly. I would MUCH rather pay $4.99-$9.99 for a complete game were you earn armor in game(Like a normal game) versus paying $99.99 for stupid credits.
I think its stupid. Cause i mean if they make their app cost then they shouldn'y add extra credits for money -.-
Those games should be named "pay-play" to know what is all about. I give the credit to the dev's and we all know that nothing is for free on this world. So be more transparent.

Then sell the game! For example, I would buy Airport City, which is a game like this. Around level 10, it becomes impossible to advance unless you spend money. And there's lots of reviews by people who spend money, but never get the credits.

Whenever I come across a game like this, it gets deleted right away. I understand that devs want to be compensated for their work and that's fine..but to me that's just deceitful. Tricky bastards.

I actually love the games that do this. Although forcing the user to pay to play sucks.
I think Order and Chaos has a good system. 3 free months. Nothing in that game requires a purchase outside a subscription... but you can buy gold to get a head start on higher end weapons. But gold is just 1000 silver, so you really don't need to buy it.
This is how it should be for all games. Even apps like Photoshop. Free core then charge for brushes and filters.
Games could also offer sections of the game, like a gate pass, to let you to other sections.
I'd rather pay to play then buy a full game that sucks. I can pay what I want and skip the rest.

Its not about forcing us too play its the old drug dealer method of "here have this sample of our great new drug" but when your hooked the next one is $100. Its just the fact that they don't tell you up front that its a limited demo "Freemium" unless you purchase updates in app.
The really should call it "Shareware" because that's kind of the motto they work on
Yeah so... I might be the only person here who's looking forward to this game. There's no official release date available yet, but Gameloft has announced that it will be available 'later this year' and will be on both iOS and Android.
From what I can tell it looks to be a city builder type game. Playing mini games to earn points, then using those points to buy houses, ponies, items...so on and so forth.
So my questions to you all is: Are you excited for this game? Do you think It'll satisfy My Little Pony fans? Will you be buying this? & If so how much are you willing to pay?
I personally think I will be a good game if they do 2 simple things. Listen to what the fans have to say, and have it reflect future episodes, meaning if new ponies make their appearance in season 3, I think Gameloft should add them into the game and to do as much as possible to have the game reflect the TV show. If they keep the updates coming this game should have some lasting appeal & replay value.
Check out the iPad game play demo and let me know what you think.

As a fellow brony, this excites me. /)
Like you said, as long as Gameloft listens to what the fans have to say. And of course new ponies and cannon names and the whatnot. And I hope that they include some of the maybe not so well known background ponies. Such as Lyra, Bon Bon, and Dr. Whooves, etc.. I'd probably pay anywhere between 5 and 10 dollars. Depending on how much content is actually in the game.
Possibly....even if I stopped watching it after season 2 episode 1....I still read the fanfics though lol.

They could make great use of the Xperia Plays touch pads on this game, instead of touch swiping the screen to navigate you could just use the touch pads. And the mini games could make great use of the D-pad. The game has huge potential hopefully they put effort into this instead of just selling the name and making a quick buck.

The only 'major' issue I've come across is the inability to connect to Gameloft & stay connected.
It's a flaw in the game, I expect this to be fixed pretty soon considering most challenges have to do with connecting to gameloft and interacting with other ponies.
All in all a pretty good game tho, I've played it more than Halo 4 so far...

things get sort of expensive later down the road, but they don't force it on you. I'm level 23 and I haven't spent a dollar yet. As long as you manage your in game money you should be fine.

Not really, after you hit level 20 everything you need is pretty much there. I currently have 35,000+ bits right now and that number increases every 3 minutes or so. I've also done all the available 'challenges' for the time being (besides the GL ones obviously)
So yeah hopefully we'll see an update soon...
