1.) What are you looking for in a game?
Fun Gameplay and Control:
Your game should have a solid and appealing core gameplay mechanic as well as enjoyable controls. It is important that you focus on the aspect players expend the most time and ensure that it is truly fun. In an "Asteroids"-esque space shooter, this might be smooth, physics-based control of your ship as you fly around the screen - Flying your ship just needs to "Feel Great".
Intuitive Interface and Gameplay:
Players should not have to read instructions to play your game, regardless of past gaming experience. Appropriate cues and clean interface design are key for intuitive gameplay; this includes well-organized and easily accessible controls and menus, and clear positive and negative feedback. For a "Command and Conquer"-esque RTS game, you may want to include contextual help in addition to default tutorial-based gameplay the first time the game is played.
Innovation:
We're not suggesting that you to re-invent the wheel, but we do think game designers should push things forward. Many successful concepts are derivations of existing games which take the central idea to the next level.
Polish and Professionalism:
Your game should be a slick and polished experience, appealing to players familiar with commercial handheld and console games. Games should feature suitable visual and audio quality, be free of major bugs, and contain no grammatical or spelling errors.
Multiplayer Functionality:
We believe strongly in the power of Multiplayer. Including Multiplayer functionality in your initial design (rather than as an afterthought) can distinguish your game from an increasing number of browser-based competitors and significantly increase your game's viral appeal and replay value. XGen Studios offers MMOcha, our high-performance multiplayer platform, at no cost to studios working to develop titles under an XGen Studios Publishing Agreement (More information is available at www.MMOcha.com). Games developed with alternate multiplayer solutions are also welcome.
2.) Why should someone sponsor a game with you (or someone else) instead of trying to capitalize on it an another way.
We’re offering our multiplayer technology right now, for free.
It’s fast, its stable, and its ready to use today. MMOcha has been field-tested by over 5 Million registered Stick Arena players, and 4,000+ simultaneous users. More information on MMOcha is available on www.MMOcha.com.
We offer highly competitive rates and revenue share
If your title is a top-notch, polished experience, we’re interested in negotiating a fair and competitive offer. We want to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with talented developers and studios.
We focus on quality, not quantity.
With so many players entering the flash sponsorship and development arena, we’ll continue our focus on sponsoring, publishing, and developing only the top-tier of web-based entertainment. Quite simply, we’re only interested in the best. We want to push the limits of browser-based gaming.
We’re a developer and a publisher.
At heart, we’re a Flash development studio; it’s where our roots are, and its where our passion is. We’ll utilize our experience to help you polish and improve your game.
We look forward to hearing from you - Please contact us at Contact@XGenStudios.com for further information.
