Isomerizer Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 If I was to sell the www.battleofearth.com game engine, how much would you guys price it at? It's 99% programmed from scratch, except for Nyna's DB class and a free css template... Any ideas or suggestions? And would you buy it? Quote
mdshare Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Re: BOE Engine I would say $100-$150 for a basic license. standard license eg $150-$200 which includes free updates for 1y proffesionall license eg $250-$300 free bugfixes, updates for 1y Quote
Haunted Dawg Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Re: BOE Engine I would say around $100 - $250, that's with bug fix's and update's for 1y. Quote
Isomerizer Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Re: BOE Engine Thanks for your replies mdshare and Kyle, I think I'm gonna charge from around $150-$200. Now it's time to look into protection of the engine. As piracy is a huge issue. :| Quote
shedh Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Re: BOE Engine Well why don't you look into unique game codes were people install a game on their server they have to use a code to access the installer and then if someone illegally gets it they are blocked from installing the game i think something along those lines would be good but you will need to look at how to stop them bypassing the installer code and what not Quote
Rainbow Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Re: BOE Engine There are many actions you could take. Forming a list of peple who cannot be trusted, and simply ignoring them. At the end of the day it serves them right for past offences. Or you could buy a private server which you own and host it on there, for a leased license ( unless there is an alternative .) Or possibally leave a bug/exploit or somekind of backdoor so if they breach the conditions you can just exploit them. Ofcourse make sure to use a PHP encoder Zend, Source Guardian and Ion Cube... I realise it doesnt encourage people purchasing the script but its better to be safe than sorry. Afterall you spent alot of time on the engine - Well knowing you, maybe not :-P Also surely you should be considering taking legal action, after all you are at the age where you are entitled to it, unlike like the others. So surely that is the best option you have? Quote
Cronus Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Re: BOE Engine Your forums are using the prisonstruggle icons, whats up with that? Quote
Isomerizer Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Re: BOE Engine Your forums are using the prisonstruggle icons, whats up with that? The forums are using a free SMF template (slightly edited), found on the SMF theme site... Is that a problem? SMF Army: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes ... ?lemma=621 Quote
Cronus Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Re: BOE Engine Well then I guess whoever created that template used the prison struggle icons. I'm 100% sure its their icons though, as that little guy is on the main page of prisonstruggle.com. He's the guy on the right. Quote
Haunted Dawg Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Re: BOE Engine That guy is a vector art, and i belive that isomerizer has the same layout template as prison struggle. Thus either the creater of the layout is using free vector art then prison struggle got there GFX designer to integrate it to suite the forum of course. How ever, i have seen that vector art some where already, and i think i saw it free. I will do some research and post back :) Quote
mdshare Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Re: BOE Engine SMF template first created April 20, 2008, 05:05:54 PM Prison strugle on the wayback machine doesn't even look close to what it is now So for all we know prison struggle used the same vector art/stock photos as the template designer however it seems the template designer was first.

POG1 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Re: BOE Engine BOE is a sick game. Why sell? I think the layout needs to be cooler as well, something more army like Quote
mdshare Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Re: BOE Engine layout aka templating hasn't anything to see with the game script imo easy to use a diff template this one could suit for it and make it look better instantly Quote
