Dungeon Run Blackroost Keep – Starfighter General

I’ll give free steam keys to everyone who says a nice word of encouragement to David to release this game.

Game is like Gauntlet 2 from Arcade, jazzed up:

Can you leave a comment to encourage my boss to put this on steam? I’ll give you a free steamkey for saying something nice if he does take your advice and releases it.

I need help convincing my boss to release the game, I tried to push him all year to launch and I feel like the bridge is burnt. My only recourse is to petition the community. Maybe you can convince the man he did a good job. My heart is wrenched because we toiled 3 years in a team of 5 and I think this game is awesome, but he doesn’t want to release because every other game portal ripped us off.

An older version of this game got 4 million plays on Shockwave and they promised my company $0.25 a play. This older version did not have random rares, leveling, town, quests, hero power moves, etc. MTV/Shockwave/Defy media did not pay us what should have been around 1,000,000$ My boss was discouraged that they ripped us off as well as ‘another Big Tech that you can’t speak against’ doing something similar.

My boss is in such despair. He had a team of 5 work really hard work for three years to make this game, but since Big Tech isn’t honoring their contracts with indie, he thinks Steam/Valve will be no different. Can you please leave a comment to encourage my boss? His name is David. I think he’s one of the best user interface guys in the world.

I can do a better quality video if you want. This one was filmed on a potato.

My boss doesn’t think we’d ever make money on this game so he refuses to publish, he has such a negative attitude, he doesn’t know Steam gamers may like this.

2) Networking that pushes the envelope where no networking has gone before. People laugh at this like it is impossible to innovate, but I marketed it to Midway in 2003, and they laughed too. Meanwhile it was working in house as a Tekken style(3d fighter) MMO with part of what today is known as rollback code. Midway’s manager was mocking what is today’s standard thinking rollback and such was impossible. Infinite action players same zone, limit only by video card and other hardware, networking ain’t a limiting thing anymore.

4) First MMO designed for late game. Everyone enjoys mmos until power capped and then get bored.
There is no power cap to begin with(just a log log logarithmic progression), but there are many many many other end game design elements to make it so want to keep playing end game! The grind is there, but better and more fun things are around too! You can build up a super big fleet and it get destroyed to pieces and you start over again. You have a power floor level that you can’t go below so you’re always building permanent power, but temporary spikes of power surges and galactic dominance for fleeting moments give a rush. The larger the fleet, the larger the fleeting moment.

8) PVP bounty system. Everyone can PVP at all times. Stakes are low if your ship explodes. If you get attacked without declaring aggressive mode or an opponent to duel, the aggressor gets a bounty on their head in accordance with the damage dealt to you. If this bounty gets high enough, and they get caught, they will be put in jail. When they log on for the next few hours or days, their character can play only in jail, and visitors come see him and such. Enjoy roleplaying being a prison inmate, or just use a different crew member on your account. Developing many crew members is a thing for when you fly capital ships.

10) Omnipotent roleplay: Earn your right into a a movie anime by great roleplay! Live game masters in about 6-12 months after the content updates roll through. We bias people with Founder’s RP tokens some and good manner role players who stay in character(we have chat logs and even game logs). This promotes good role play even when not live GMing. Who doesn’t want to bring their friends to a movie and surprise em with their own character in it? So stay in character for a better game! https://www.starfightergeneral.com/live-role-play/

Punky-Pulpy action, Levels, stats, skills, talents, items, fleet amassing, and great apocalyptic space plots, trippy Lewis Carrol level Mad Hatter humor along the way. It’s really weird to see how this synergizes from a game design standpoint. Players naturally want to level up and power up… That’s the twink min maxer in all of us. So when humor, plots, intrigue, or NPCs getting your blood boiling to action vs them happens, you get stoked, rewarded, happy and tossed off your axis. Then when resolved, you look back and get serious about powering up. The core of a RPG gamer is always powering up, it is something we can’t get rid of, but the core of a game designer is to get you out of a spreadsheet mindset temporarily… And then you appreciate both more. So tacky humor, along serious pulp action and serious leveling up game mechanics… It is like a symphony of fun.
