A Social Experiment..

[savage]

Well I've released a simulation game that I think is really a social exercise/experiment.

It's based on a particular episode from the TV series LOST and more info can be read here...

and can be bought here...

It's a social experiment because I want to see how many people will actually pay and download a game that is essentially very very boring.

I'll keep everyone posted of any sales figures.

Cool

Where are you advertising the game for sale?

Have you put in on GameTrove?

[savage]

I'm hitting the various LOST fansite forums and mentioning it there.

[cairnswm]

Just had a thought - do you have an online 'high scores' it would add a lot to the game

[savage]

That's slated for v2.0

I've added it to GameTrove now - http://www.gametrove.net/game.php?g=156

What's funny about the GameTrove entry is that all these other entries look so professional and mine is a bit basic in comparison.

That's a funny idea. It'd be even better if once you starting playing it, if you let the timer run out it hieroglyphs flip up an then your computer shuts down.

Has anyone bought it yet?

love that show

the season final was sweet

[savage]

Don't give it away as those of us in the UK have not seen it yet.

[WILL]

Ah ha! Finaly a show that airs in Canada BEFORE the UK! :lol:

Sorry, I'm just still bitter about Canada being the last place on earth that Galactica is aired. :?

So... um... are those the right numbers? And wasn't that video a tad longer? Or is that the edited one that was left in the bunker when John found it?

Yup... I watch it too.

--- SEMI-SPOILER --- IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN SEASON 2 EPISODE 21 '?' YET, DO NOT READ --- SEMI-SPOILER ---

[size=8px]You know what you should do as a 'spin-off' of this game? Make one for 'The Perl'. :lol: Write text files and drag the book once complete into a tube graphic. LMFAO... Though I think it might do as 'well' as this one. But then 2.0 could be called 'The Swan' and you need at least 1 web cam and a sound card to play. And the other 'The Perl' and it feeds in the web cams of another 'The Swan' bunker program. [/size]

I've got too many bad jokes I can put on this thing of yours Dom, so I'm just gonna zip it before I start going. :twisted:

Oh... and what happens once we stop "pushing the button"?
