Will Wolfire ever get Lugaru on consoles or handhelds?
We probably could get a copy, but I have to agree with everyone else... I couldn't imagine playing without a mouse.Szs315 wrote:Almost had a console game. Well, whatever. I hope lugaru becomes a console game someday. Until then, I'll keep playing and hoping. I wish I could play that working ps2 version. Jeff, did you get to play the ps2 version?
Does your Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii work? I just want to check with you before we entertain any other console deals. (just kidding)invertin wrote:My ps2 doesn't work, so it wouldn't matter even if it was released on ps2.
360. Yes.
Xbox. Yes.
DS. Yes.
N64. Yes. (odd that the PS2 broke first)
Gameboy advance SP. yes.
PS2. No.
thats all I got. But either way, lugaru just doesn't fit as a concole game.

I call bull. I am the proud owner of a Wii, and I'm picking up a PS2 sometimes this week for Rogue Galaxy.Szs315 wrote:The only reason you say this is because you're all PC gamers who don't like consoles! It would be good because then instead of having a shareware [otherwise known as not a full game but instead a smaller game that is not an official one] game we would have a game that could have awesome graphics, thousands of moves, levels, terrains, a ton of new editing tools, multiplayer online and console lan, and much more etc...
Besides, adding awesome graphics, thousands of moves, levels and multiplayer doesn't magically happen when you move a game over to console. It requires work. Lots of work. If Wolfire could pull L2 off on Xbox360, I might be interested, but I like my keyboard and mouse.

Okay, but it's not like "let's do this!" and one month later, you break necks on your PSP. There's a lot to do. Great experience you gain from it as a dev, but it probably won't pay financially.
And indy games are not anything big stores like Walmart or EB Games would love to support (reasons? multiple), so the chance of getting there with your CD is pretty slim. Besides, since the commercial success would undoubtedly be very low because of no financial base for serious advertisements, all those CDs would be wasted money. You'd have to rise the price to compensate and the game would be too expensive. Or you'd have to lower the price to get to the people and your publisher will get the missing bucks from you.
If you want Lugaru on a CD for some reason, burn your own one. That's the beautiful simplicity of the next gen of direct marketing on the internet
