I agree with Regisfan, that game looks absolutely fantastic as a whole! What I liked about it was that you did it as if you were watching the show (what I mean is that when you are playing, you are like watching the actual show, reminds me of that wedigtv game). What you could do is make a version with a 'green screen' in the background, no control instructions, so users can make their own episode, i.e. screencapture the software running simultaneously with the filming of the game, and when the footage is edited, they can use chroma key to place the captured game over the footage of the player!
But well done!!!

I also agree with Regisfan - I'd love to have a go at it, and you can trust me about it - I won't distribute it! What do you think?

It is probably the BEST millionaire software out there and I'm not even kidding about that. It feels like you're in the seat. Me being a critical game analyzer, I can tell you any flaws that are in the game and what improvements that can be made. If this game were in stores or on Amazon, you'd practically be a millionaire already!
I agree with RegisFan 100%. There should be a password-protected subforum so anyone who he trusts can access it. The next thing is making a private server or finding a place to upload the file where 2WayTaffic will never find it. You can trust that I will never distribute it out in the open.
2WayTraffic would only be concerned if a new licensed home game was coming out, which is very unlikely (based off of FreMantle and BigJon's TPiR game being removed via Cease & Desist letter).

Well, if everyone's so interested, I guess I can make arrangements  I'm going to spend the next week pondering a little bit. I don't really think 2WayTraffic is going to go after their show's fans because they made a look-a-like. So basically, the only people I worry about now are Linotype, who made the ITC Conduit family. But I guess, since it's not like I'm making any money of this software anyway, I'm kinda willing to take a risk. I'll include Conduit as an Embedded font, meaning you won't be able to have the original otf or ttf or whatever it was from the game. I'll distribute the original .fla files for the game, so if someone with Flash wants to edit it, they can do that, but they'll have to have Conduit ITC installed on their computer to accurately recompile the game. Check back toward the end of this week, I'll have more info available. leimeisei |

Btw, if there are any changes that need to be addressed (New money tree, bugs, more questions etc.), you should consider them before posting the final thing. I'm willing to bet you made this with either c++ or flash. Hope to see further updates! :P SF49 |
