OML banking on TTL rather than Outwitters???

[=) Random Task (=]

Sadly TTL never appealed to me in the same way Outwitters does...

Well I hope you good on TTL2, but I have a feeling nearly everyone on these forums would download oboth that, and outwitters 2, and any other titles you guys put out.

TTL = wider audience Nuff said.

The solution is simple. Just rebrand Outwitters "Tilt To Live 2" and resubmit it to the appstore! What's that you say? False advertising? *shhh*

We love both our babies equally, but there's really no comparison business-wise. That's not to say I'm not intrigued by the idea of an Outwitters 2 (where we use what we learned about monetization), but this is the best move for us right now.

Yes This has restored some of my faith in the games industry seeing that there are still people who make and support games they are passionate about even if it isn't the optimal financial decision.

The big problem was is that only people who like to think while they play their game like strategy.
Most people like games where you don't think that much aka tilt to live.
another thing is that most people that like strategy already had found a game that absorbs a lot of their time as a gamer. Oml got lucky on me because I had finished my last strategy game and needed a new one. So that may have been a big factor in business for oml. I think they would have made a lot more money if they put it out when like the iPhone 4\5 came out or around Christmas

Just my 2cents

Adverstise Outwitters in Tilt to Live?

[Qwerty]

That could be a good idea.....

[-:xxxx.73:-]

I know they wanted to keep advertising out of their games but I definitely agree that they're losing oppty by not having even a tiny bit of cross-game info. I wasn't really aware of TTL until recently and I've been playing outwitters ~3 months. TTL isn't my cup of tea but I understand its broad appeal. And I'm going to buy it to support these awesome guys = )

While I value and appreciate their ideals of zero ads, they really outta put their business hats on for promoting their own work.

I want them rolling in money so they can work on outwitters 2, 3, and more!

From a business perspective, I would NOT make an Outwitters 2. If further development does take place, I would just say it's an updated version. Call it semantics, but tagging it with a 2 gives an impression that the original is not as good, your dedicated fan base will be upset, and you'll kiss the sells of the original Outwitters good-bye...It maybe a path you'll regret.

[brayton]

does it make financial sense if they had just made outqitters $1 to buy straight out?

i cannot believe here is no ads on these forums...some posts get 30,000+ views.
i know there is integrety and all
but does anyone really care about small side banner ads

surly there would still be enough of a player base if it had been $1
