PMG is a pay-per-view shared revenue 2POG (2 player online game) web-service where users play 2D audio games. The games themselves comes with a typing interface similar to Kings Quest I to III by Sierra On-Line. Two players are required, which means that two players pays 2$ and hook up with each other. Game creators, on the other hand, pay 100$ to publish their game and gets 80 percent of the revenues of the game.

Your ad copy needs some work... What exactly is appealing about this, for a game player or publisher?

You mean: give you my email address so you can spam me. Thanks, next!

heya Morton, I was watching the tutorial, I'd say you need to redo it
the video is pretty choppy, and I can see you make a few mistakes when you're drawing and such, and the audio is extremly low-volume + lots of static....

It's what... $10 for a website? What's with the 213.173... blegh... reannounce this after you have a website? Crazy peops. Sheesh.

WWW addresses are so cliché and passé.

From a game creators perspective let's say you want to create a game about a fish that lives inside a mummys mouth for a long long time. If you feel that is an important story, then you are very eager to tell it to the world, right? What do you do? You ask an artist to draw you a mummy with a fish inside its mouth. You then upload the image and create some walk-behind-objects out of it and upload some audio files so people who play your game can type commands like "look mummy" and "open mouth". If you're really enthusiastic about telling a story it shows in the atmosphere. That's why I like atmosphere in games. It's the atmosphere that matters.

Best Regards

Hi RohoMech

I just played Boxen for two hours.
:)

Thanks for watching the tutorial. I apologize for the low audio quality. The guy who built my bamboo-computer didn't realize that the powerunit interferes with the sound card. I'll make smoother tutorials when I have time. In the meantime, here's another chapter which shows how to install a game:

hmm, so out of curiosity, what language is being used in the software?
You guys have any kind of localization support...like different language packs and such?

Why are you operating this on port 8081? My suspicion is you are using your own computer with a router and not actually using a hosting service. Your url's raised a red flag for me because of this. I'll pass thanks.

Yes. Our applet uses .properties files which is the de-facto standard for Java when you want to do globalization. Currently we support our native language danish, and also swedish, english, spanish, portuguese, arabic, french, german and italian.

The strange IP will be replaced by a normal url with the name of our company by june 1st. Thanks.

I suggest you wait till then before attempting to advertise. First impressions are important and seeing the current url with a local router port is only doing more harm than good. ;)

Reading this post makes makes me feel a little bit insane. Maybe even physically ill. Is... is all this a very subtle joke? I really enjoy it! If not, the world is a Silly Place.

[EDIT. No offense, of course. I mean this in the nicest way possible.]
