Fiddling Foolishly

Post by BoganGod »

Why is this game not rocking a mobile app? Why is this game not advertised? Why do the owner/s not give a monkeys? Is this a business? Why no rage against the dying of the light? Why has this site not been reactive?

In my time on site I've seen a sad case of go woke, go broke. CC went woke before the word was even beginning to be repurposed. I posit Flame Wars demise was the beginning of player flight, allowing a small vocal minority of micro interest sayers not players to dictate tone IMO killed this site. Don't like someone's opinion? Foe and move on, don't be a mouth breathing sack of semi dried fermented bull semen from an IVF refrigeration failure, all salty, smelly, and impotent. If you have the ability to ignore someone else's behaviour and words don't affect you. If you are a salty little rodent and can't bear the thought of someone having a thought that you deem bad please scrub genitals with caustic soda, then burn them with fire then ice. Your type need not breed, give Darwin's theory a hand and contribute for once in your pathetic, wasted life.

Don't like my post? Don't like my language? Either engage, or foe and move on. Any call to censor me proves my point, may all tone policemen/policepeople be damned to living in a redneck prison(they maybe tone policers will enjoy redneck prison sex) where there is only one gender.

In the words of a once was a player, you are all charlotte pumpkins.

Make a stable decent mobile app and either take over the industry or sell it to these guys.

Quit banging a pot asking the UN for unrealistic solutions while scowling and saying, "How dare you steal my childhood?"

Let's take my totally unofficial opinions on this.

It seems the classic old Tootsie Pop commercial with Mr. Owl is in vogue these days, so "Let's find out."

iPhone 6 screen resolution: 750×1334

You could fit the classic map on that screen (I think it is 630) but then you have no room for any controls.
Previous versions of the iPhone are at 640 so you barely have room for a map frame.

Samsung Galaxy models seem to have better resolution, but you still need to design for lowest common denominator.

Over time, the idea of such "small" maps like Classic went out of favor and most of the newer maps are much larger.

So, from the get go ... this ain't no Words with Friends ... you need a completely new and novel interface. Considering that the market is divided into two completely different and incompatible systems you need to create two separate development design teams that can incorporate all the map and game control logic and in the case of Apple, a rigorous product qualification process.

This is a big investment and I'm not sure I see the ROI myself.

No budget?

But seriously, advertising a game like this is not as easy as you might think. And having looked at the angle for different groups Facebook advertising is effectively a waste of resources and can actually be counterproductive as you can get a lot of false "likes" to your page who really aren't interested and actually dilutes your reach to real potential active players.

I know, it would be so easy to create a Go Fund Me page and get you to contribute a ton of money ... only you won't do that and neither will anyone else.

Oh how I miss the old days of Compuserve where a game company could charge a PER HOUR charge for a game. This flat rate per month/year is a real killer of online profit margins.

...

Hey, that Go Fund Me idea seems interesting. Just ran though a calculator ... it would probably cost $40,000 to design an Android app (I'm ignoring Apple because I don't have one). Yes, this just might have a SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL.

I play a few mobile games with f*ck tonnes more complexity and control variables than CC. Part of a clan, global chat, kingdom chat, clan chat, system wide competitions and events, amazing graphics, blah blah, and works well on the old samsung 7edge, and on the iPhone 6s. I've upgraded phones so now have iPhone Xmax, and Samsung Galaxy 10. Works great on those. King of Avalon, I've also played other games from the same genre.

CC could be done better, apathy + cowardice = decline

2 years ago I asked you if it was acceptable practice to consider jalapeno an aromatic when starting a saute and then you left the site without answering the question. Can you answer it now?
