Making a Partner Planet team

[Kpeters]

I think this is an awesome idea.

Im an Architect myself so would be involved in developing and designing structures in the planet . Would be amazing really great idea +rep.

Want me to make a social group for this? Those who think they are interested can join up and post there instead of a thread.

EDIT: Group made here Join up if you want!

The SDK is free. If we can develop a concept which MA recognise as having potential then we are on the 1st rung. As I understand it the Partner model is based around shared income so if the concept doesn't fly no SDK.

Once we have the SDK we have to get forum facilities to administer decision making. Sub-Forums will have a designated 'share holder' who will have shown some financial committment and have the backing of the community. In parallel an entity will have to be created to facilitate holding of funding (Im in the UK - Ltd company can be set up easily to act on behalf of all Shareholders)

The Sub-Forums will be split to address issues on Administration, 3D Design, Marketing, Content. Initial Share Issue would have to cover software & hardware apps n services.

I guess that would be a good idea, I've never been part of a social group before. Would make it easier to scan for specific ideas by specific people I suppose. It is kind of hard to look stuff up or follow a train of thought on a long sprawling thread.

Just wanted to bump this thread - although there is some support gathering pace in the group this thread should be used for initial queries to gauge potential support.

When MArco explicitly lets the full implications out regarding gameplay development pls feel free to join us, or post here in the meanwhile.

I have been thinking about this also ofcourse.
I have talked about it in the company i work for: www.armedia.nl and our partner www.osado.nl and we are very interested.

At the moment we do mostly webdesign, webgames and multimedia projects such as live sms service for concerts (get sms on a big multimedia screen)

as a second job i am a highschool teacher. I don't know if that counts for anything...

New Planet by "us players"?

Buisiness Plan:
Simple.. let people do somthing which is fun for them. MA wants 50% of the share.

So, whats so much fun? Looking at the "other" Game, i say all we need is a Porn Planet with Hookers. People pay for the Hookers and we share 50% with MA....

"Toys" will decay and Condoms you get at the TT....

With CE2 there could be some good looking "stuff" around, just out of the Box...


Would work if MA allows it

 

[Spawn]

they don't and that is a good thing.

Don't know about 50%.

Music & Dance should be able to enhance combat stats (think bagpipes or Provocative Dance) - to provide this service Dancers would have to pay the venue for the privilege (Rake)

ps. Why would MA not allow it? Bit like selling a car and telling the customer they can't drive it....not good practice.

 

[Spawn]

because they say so in their partner plan site

Socially sensitive content including gambling or sexually explicit themes are not permitted in Entropia Universe

Hah! Good One. No need to be any more explicit than whats running around Calypso and I have introduced viable Profs which can generate income for Gamers and MA without any random loot cycle....I think they will allow it

Does bring up an issue though. Gonna need a wide range of Dance Choreography to keep the punters satisfied (Don't think Pogo is gonna cut it). Any Dance Choreographers or Musicians out there?

because they are way more serious than some other "games"


and that is good, because else some potential partners would be scared away ^^

yea i thought that was going to happen. david, i think it's great that the player base is excited and a lot of them are curious as to what involvement we can have with planet partnerships. please don't get too upset by a player's exuberance and excitement that an opportunity to become involved is possible.

i realize it's not easy at this time for mind ark to go forward with full disclosure and that a lot of the information is somewhat sensitive. but certainly a lot of current players find the planet partnerships attractive. any realistic information on exactly how hard it actually is to forge ahead with a planet partnership is probably needed by those that find it attractive.

but, yes, manix6, you should read the email and comply with that statement.

guys, this thing looks like if you wanna get involved, it's a very high level commitment and yes i mean, come prepared with lots and lots of money, creativity and a staff of ppl capable of starting any web based business.

it's not just tinker around with planet, sit back, make money, get paid.

not imho, anyway. therefore, i'm happy to continue as a player. i love to play eu and i can't wait for more places to play. (given that i can freely travel to them and use my gun and fap there, too.)

5 (32) so scaring the potential away may be having some success...unfortunately (for MA)

Besides this wasn't a game. Isn't a game yet... will be when Marco has his wicked way with it. I sincerley wish him the best of luck with that however the 'Players Planet' will become his Nemesis if battle lines have to be drawn. Choose your side while you still can

 

[Manix6]

Just some stuff ...

I only posted a part of an email that i thought would be of interest to the player base wishing to undertake this venture.

I only intended to show people that you need to be deadly serious to take up such a venture and was pointing out what MA wanted to see in a prospective partner.

But i understand and respect the rules and have edited my comment. And could every please comply by erasing your minds too please?

btw, when you read this you will need to pay me 500$, otherwise legal actions will be taken

PS: David, may i help you deleting all that confidential infos from ALL computers? Just give me a conection to the MA office via SSH, should be done in a few hours

oh, i celebrate your excitement and curiosity to get involved.

i also agree one should not copy and paste part of an email that states it should not be copy and pasted.

cheers and good luck with the whole planet partnership. i personally think it would be great to see a group of players become a group of planet owners.

 

[kosmos]

I wouldn't be much help on the dev side of things but I would love to be able to participate in the story aspect if this project takes off. I have posted 3 chapters of a story I wrote on this forum if you do some digging

I don't claim to be a writing pro don't have a degree in it, but what I do have is a vivid imagination. send me a pm Zee and we can discuss this some more

 

[SuperKanjo]

Lot's of good idea's inhere, you guys really should build you're own planet, and if not MA should hire all of you

Are you guys really serious about his?

If you guys ever need a Beta-tester

This raises a key advantage - We are the playerbase, and the Game will have to evolve. As Skippie points out it is not a 'ta daa!' process so testing and discussion of mechanics will be an ongoing process (Flexible Scalability is paramount). It also means all mechanics will be explicit, but must conform to the RCE absolute - 'Cash in > Cash Out'.

New Planet by "us players"?

If this ends up actually becoming anything big. Count me in, I will do anything for; free; for a cause. Just contact me and if you need extensive amounts of artwork done for your planet. Just ask. ^_^

I am fully committed to this project, guys.

I am looking at this at a totally different perspective. More of a... free game engine that Mindark is giving away to their "Successors." If they die, the people who developed great, perfect working designs of planets. They will be the preeminent to what ever Mindark is planning. This is exactly what I think and I believe everyone who wants a piece of it. Should start now.

Right now.

In all honesty though, ever since grade 9 I've thought of designing my own game. I never thought I would have the chance to carry it out onto something that turned out to be my favourite "Universe." Call me crazy, drunk, what-ever, I believe this to be somewhat of an apex to be remotely sentient.

I promise all of you Entropians, based on what I've anticipated so far. If I acquire enough funding and branch out a marketing brainchild. I will boat this idea straight into Mind Arks office and kick them in face with it. That will fork off in tenticular motion and kick everyone else in the face for no reason.

*shrugs*

I just want to create something exclusively kick ass for everyone. I've anticipated too many video games to be great. Then having played such games and being let down by a fake perk about the game. I can drive into your heads why each game has let me down. I wont go that far because each game has been a great part of my life... and to save bandwidth for Entropia Forums. <3

Remember,

Something Exclusive. >:3

Virtual times are changing From a passive medium (TV) to active participation (MMO) and now to active creation/participation (Player Planet).

We can be the 1st to make a success of this via MA's longterm vision. As you point out, it is not just about making money. It is about creating an environment which is familiar yet challenging. Non RCE MMO's suffer because there is no 'real' challenge - like playing poker for matchsticks (boring). If the game is good they will come...and stay - making money is an indicator of success but by no means the only one.
