That's a stupid thought: Pay for a flash game??? The first S.W. is free. Just because Stick Empires is going to be a beyond awesome game I don't think that the creators will torture us by making us pay for a game that we've been waiting so long for. Also it has been 1 year & about 11 months since they first started.
Hey guys, it does feel like a long time trust me but the game is also on a new level for any flash game I think the wait will be worth it. The game will be as you know, multilayer, and will therefore have expenses such as servers, software maintenance, updates, patches, support. So we will go about the model that most free games do, which is allow people to play the game and simply sell things like armor types, and weapons. Our model at the moment will not give any advantage to the richer player to make them better just maybe look cooler ;)
We started the game from scratch 7-8 months ago when Brock the programmer arrived here in Canada from Australia I know this because we posted the date on the blog
http://stickwar.com when he arrived.
But I think with that time Winston (artist) Brock, and Myself have accomplished quite a lot:
1. Entire Multi player RTS game in flash.
2. Single player campaign mode with 15 levels. and 3 difficulty settings
3. Intro Trailer
4. Multi player includes 3 map sizes multiple backgrounds
5. Multi player includes 2 distinct races Order and Chaos with 9 unique units on each race each with there own sets of unique ability's.
We are close now guys hang in !!
