Guys,

We are making an entirely new kind of a game (something between a film and a game, with all real people and no animation), and are looking for advice on how to make gamers understand its nature. What is the best place on this forum to post such questions? It is a PC based "game".

Thanks much.

part of it, yes, but we have shot it like a movie also because all the characters are real life actors... if you are interested, let me know. i can show you some details. dont want to be spamming you unless you want to know :-) i am a filmmaker making this game, and i am new to this community hence my basic questions... any feedback will be helpful.

our preview, which willnot show you the interactive part of the game yet, is at www.latentlava.com. basically this game is like a movie but the audience playsa role in the movie, and the story evolves based on their actions. and the role they play is way beyond just saying how they want the story toproceed (e.g. i want to this guy to die or live etc). they actually shoot at real people, kill them if they do well, they are responsible for the lives of their friends (real life actors), they conduct intelligence related to the mission etc, which country are you in?

glad you like it! BTW, how frequently do people download movies in the netherlands?? i am assuming the internet connection speeds are better there than in the US.. because we plan to offer this on disks as well as downloads, and we are having trouble estimating how significant the downloads could be..

Everybody that I know has ADSL so they can download movies (most of them do this)... so with some good advertising on game and news website... (maybe some website were they offer downloads) you can get loads of downloads...

cool, if you have any suggestions of the dominant websites in Europe for movie downloads/gaming news, let me know. As you could tell from our trailer, the subject of this game is very relevant to people around the globe, so it should find a good sized audience in Europe also,..

I'm an admin on a growing forum and it's a great way to inform your possible customers/players about your game... And I think a lot of people would want to help you with the project... ^___^

well both of the forums (vbulletin or PhPBB can be customised) vbulletin can do more (thousands of hacks... loads of skins and artists that make them) but this will cost you 150dollars... there is also PhpBB... It's free it could also be customised with skins and hacks... but has less of them... It's not like everybody that is seriously devolping a game is using paid forums... the new game Frontlines Warfare uses Phpbb... you can see the forum here
