Lesser Raven: Thoughts on a Shop, Selling Video Games

  Lesser Raven: Thoughts on a Shop, Selling Video Games

Now I know what you're thinking: WTF do you want to make a shop for; the only original thing you made is Puppy Quest!

The answer is computer games. I can make a pretty much SNES-quality game (not with Flash, of course) and sell it on CDs in a Cafepress shop. The base price is $4.99 for a CD, so I was thinking $8.00 or so. Come to think of it, there IS shipping and handling to take into account. I'll adjust the price later if I feel I need to, or if I even decide to.

Anyway, my plan was to ask all y'all what you guys would look for in a game. What type of game would you like, what genera, etc. Of course it would be humorous. To quote Ron Gilbert, I don't think I could work on a game that doesn't have humor at its heart. (Bonus points to those of you who know who Ron Gilbert is.) Would you even be willing to buy something? If so, at what price? It has to be at least $5.00 for a CD, because less that I don't make a profit and I need some sort of motivation. Of course I'd release a free demo for those of you hobos and cheapskates.

Another thought: Scythe and Chiton T-shirts? I know they're Space Pirates, but they don't *really* look that much like Space Pirates in the Metroid games (like... at all) and they're basically entirely my creations aside from their species. Would it be okay to sell them, and, if so, would anyone even buy them?

One last statement: I've almost beaten Paper Mario 2, but I've fought the last boss 3 times and still can't beat her. I may just have to wander around fighting enemies until I level up some more. O__o

Well, I'm-a get back to work on Goomba's Revolt. This is Lesser Raven, over and out.

What level are you in Paper Mario 2?

My technique was:
I used Bomberry, and I had a jumpman badge with a spike shield, as well as some HP increasers and FP increasers.

I jumped on her, and blew the crap out of her with Bomberry's final move.

and for games... POINT AND CLICK!

They just shut down mine because a few of my images had the same stance as Cloud >=( that's it so I don't like them now

vladetuczekovski Says:

OMG I would by a game.
I have no idea what kind.
Try a RPG, first person shooter, strategy game or something with a tank.
I'd probably by all those.
