By looking at Yipe's sales, it had made the top 100 of RPG category in the first few weeks. Selling around 100 a week. Then it slowed considerably and got off the list. Selling anywhere from 20-80 a week...

I'm going to take a look around and see what the #1 RPG is...


-Gan
P.S. If the iPhone RPG sold 100 a week on 99c it'd be $4800 a year. Or $400 a month. If something crazy happened and we sold 1000 a week that'd be $48,000 a year or $4000 a month. Which of course meens that every month someone on the dev team could potentially buy a new Mac Book Pro.
P.S.S The top RPG is Chaos Rings whch sells for $12.99 and looks 3D. The second highest is Final Fantasy which sells for $6.99. After the fourth top a few sell for 99c.
P.S.S.S. Some of these RPGs appear pretty complex with lots of features. I'm thinking too complex on such a small device.

What should happen when the player's hp hits 0?
I'm thinking something original, fantastic, surprising, with pizzaz... Or pizza.

Animation wise, or game over/respawning wise? I like the idea of respawning in town with no money or equipment.

[Gan]

Ooh, I like that idea... What about an animation effect?

You should also have side quests where you find OTHER adventurers that are unconscious, and you have to take them back to town

[Gan]

Not a bad idea.
Get them back to town safetly and receiving a reward...

[Mystor]

My sister brought up a unique idea for movement. I'll bring it up in the conference tomorrow.

I was just thinking perhaps I could help with some graphics. Not necessarily sprites, but  backgrounds or borders and the like. And Titles.
PS - I'm glad that's an example and not the final "you died" screen because I have this thing against trying to improve things by using gradients. XD
