New Arcade Script - input wanted

twistedduck · 06-02-2008, 09:44 AM

Me and a friend have begun development on an arcade script which we hope to be better than all the others. Features will include adding friends, rating games, favouriting games, commenting on games, inbuilt blog, personal messaging, automatic submission of games by users and many more ideas (some are quite original so I don't want to reveal them yet).

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is that I'd love to know what you'd like to have in an arcade script. So - what features should we add?

How much would the price be ? seems this is a good script...

twistedduck · 06-02-2008, 10:27 AM

Our plan was to make a "bare bones" script with hardly any features which is very cheap - and then you choose the extras you want which each add a little onto the price. We will make sure to do some in-depth research to other scripts before deciding on a price - but when we do release it we will be offering a 10% discount to all Talk Arcade users.

1. High Score Games addition
2. Latest Games or popular games thumbnails on game pages....not too many, though.
3. Able to easily modify templates

Twisteddusk,
This seems very new to me and seems really good.. Surpised no other arcade script thought up of the idea,
Where the webmasters would have a selection choice on what the script could be like... examples..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Express Edtion - For performance and to withstand high traffic levels with low cpu and bandwidth + storage also memory usages.

Standard Edtion - Comes with the basic features plus a few extra on a normal class arcade

Heavy Edtion - Comes with all features and loads packed into the script... Recommended for community based arcades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do something like that i think you'll get past alot of rival arcade scripts instantly. Also if you have a template system like what phpas has too where its easy to edit and changes things around very easy then you'll get my vote for that too...

So... thats...
Easy Template System for to change/edit/add/re-create
Flv player system which not many have at all with a desent player to boot..
Fullscreen feature with able to select a screensize or go fully fullscreen with dimmed backdrop
contact us with robust image security also you can makeup your own question and answe for tighter security
tell a friend with IMing features
report issue can select a option or type in there own one that is also with image security
timestamps on users comments
a desent traffic trading system something like epowerscripts.com has but intergrated with the script
gameplug system also with game/webpage framing tech too

I got a few more but then i'll just be making a fool out of some people... lol

The one thing I absolutly have to have is SQL caching. And it can't be through sessions either, it must be cached as a file for the system instead of one user.

The next thing on the list is high scores.

And of course I must be able to modify templates with ease. That one leave PHPAS out for me lol.

SQL caching is an absolute need though, I can't buy a script without it.

Edited in:
Lol. Piczo posted just seconds before I did, then I saw what he posted. Piczo, I did think of that type of pricing structure, and quite a few of those features. and I would love to write up a script like it and post if for sale. In what few minutes I get each century, I have been working on such a script, but I won't be able to sell it.

We were going to add in a highscore API for your portal so that any users who submit to your portal can put:
_root.sendScore(score);
And their score gets added to your database. This would be one of the more expensive add-ons though

Something like muchgames looks really quite simple to make - and something similar will definetly be one of the included templates (of which there will be around 10).

Thanks for all of your input - keep it coming!

moneyboy · 06-02-2008, 10:58 AM

i can give you a basic theme of muchgames i have the gss one

twistedduck · 06-02-2008, 11:18 AM

I like the pricing structure idea a lot!

I'd never thought of doing SQL caching, but if you want it - we'll put it in. It will save on bandwidth and improve performance, so there is no reason not to.

Thanks for all your help guys! More is always welcome!
