[Papervision3D] Papervision3D Digest, Vol 4, Issue 12

[Matthew Hare]

tbh, I dont think anyone is going to compare Xbox and Flash. Web games arent
in that genre, in the same way YouTube isnt the same as your HD tv.

Tens of thousands of people play games like tic tac toe, and scrabble on
line.

Our products, like viral games, attract people in offices, and schools, time
wasters etc where they have 5 mins and they get hooked on gameplay, and pass
it around.

So a 1st person shooter in flash is very attractive, if the gameplay suits.
It would be very cool, to have a game emailed around, where you can shout
across the office and get your friends playing online at the same time. A
few product placements and it's a commercial viability.

it's a different type of market all together, your serious gamer may well
play both flash games and Xbox games, but what he expects will be different.

Also, alot of people who play flash games ( in the office for example ) wont
have a 360, so we're exposed to different types of people as well.

I say this, because i dont want anyone to be discouraged from working on
this project, it's an A Class project, and I cant wait as things develop.
You never know, as the flash VM improves, maybe we will be able to achieve
much better performances from it

PS. as a marketing gimick, i'd like to see that 3D Rhino with a tatoo of
something political on it backside, and see where it gets :)
