Best platform for Multiplayer 1st person shooter game?
Hi all
We are working on the Multiplayer version of AudioWizards (let's call it AW-MP), and we need to know what are your preferences regarding the platform. I explain:
The game will be a 1st person shooter type, where you become one distortion yourself, and try to kill as many other distortions as possible withing the assigned battling time. You choose which distortion you want to be (lighting, fire, earth and water) and each one has its own pros and cons, like better or worse speed, energy, attack, etc. The game environment is a maze and there would be two mazes, one small for 4 players at a time, and one bigger for 10 players at a time. AW-MP is open to all players. It includes graphics and immersive 3D sound, with some nice tricks to help you to orientate in the maze and figure out where your enemies are.
We are developing this game with a small and young team, and we need some information from you to know how we should proceed in order to minimize risks and maximize success chances. We need to know if you prefer a PC version or a mobile one. The PC version is easier to implement for us, and we actually are already in alpha phase. Beta could be ready within two months. Mobile will take longer, since it is more difficult to implement, and we still didn't come up with good control system.
Monetization system is the other issue. Yeah, we need to get back the investment, since developing games is not actually free when you need to pay salaries. Here, in a mobile version it would be quite easy to implement a free to play system with adds everytime you re-spawn or start a new game. If you want to avoid adds, you can buy the game at a fix price of let's say 10 €. We are not so experience with adds in PC version games. Any ideas about that.
So please, comment if you have comments, and answer the poll if you can.
Best regards and stay safe
David
