Why not make an entire game out of this?

Someone said

Hey!
Now that you have an open-source, custom client (openspades) and also an open-source, custom server (pysnip)

Why not make a standalone game (with new features like... mines or pistols or etc...)?

I know it would take some time to add features and coding, but it would get the attention it deserves and that would make up for it. I know we have iceball.... but still.

If might be more complicated than that. Also we don't have the money to advertise this game so it get's popular.

We didn't use money when ben was around

Yes pretty sure to make any good game it's going to be complicated but it did Grease complain about how hard it was to make iceball? It just takes time and a good coder to make it.

About the money thing, if it could run on decent computers and it was free it will be popular no doubt, ace of spades made it and it was 100% free to all users who played the game.

[Battlefire]

Many games that are free are not popular. How will someone know there is a free game when there is no advertisements?

You can see the problem there ... :(. The coders are probably too busy.

Please no pistols or mines or other crap. This is Ace of Spades not Ace of Minecraft or CoD.

Should make it into planet side 2 or battlefield

Yes I know, I quoted that guy because he gave me the idea of making this thread, btw call of duty isn't the only game with pistols... Just because they have it doesn't mean it's bad.

The only mines I see in CoD are claymores, mines would be cool. And the all mighty & unfulfilled bazooka o.o

[tungdil]

Why not add new stuff ?? New stuff doesn't mean a lot of crap or cod or anything else. I don't see anything bad in pistols for example.
I'll make a thread about suggestions.

I could see a 'buy' script in the future, kills = money/points, with that you can buy a different rifle/smg/shotgun or pistol. But I don't want this to go over the top 'cause then it will be like Fagex's AoS 1.0

[TheVetNoob]

One thing that I've always thought would be awesome is different skins for the same gun. For example, there are three different skins for the rifle, even though it always behaves the same way. This would add a lot of variety to the game, and not even starting on how cool it would be with mods.

[Arkger]

I was thinking the same thing! Perhaps, everyone is able to put their own skins on weapons for everyone to see, so you are holding an AK as an SMG, but your friend could be holding a P90.


Openspades is totally the way to make the new game, honestly.
We do need money however, how does kickstarter sound to you guys?
