New Travian Kingdom Like Game

[bozo5573]

Hello Travian fans..

Few days ago I started recreating Travian Kingdoms game, It's not that hard, and if I continue with this pace, It will be somewhat ready in two weeks or so.

But now I have a dilemma, and I would like to ask you for help...

Should I continue making a copy of Travian Kingdoms or should I procede with a different type of game?


So here are my arguments for both sides:

> If I continue working on a copy, I could expect quicker growth in player base, I would already have all the design and art ready, I don't have to think about gameplay, I just copy it and I don't have to teach players how to play, what is an end goal and so on, but on the other hand, there is always a problem of copyright, I couldn't get any revenue, I couldn't register this product and other legal stuff.


​

> If I procede with new game, well, all the opposite, I would have to do heavier advertisment to gather players, do completely new art and design, come up with new gameplay, worry if players will understand the end goal, or even if they would like it... on the other hand I would have my own product, which I would have a total control of, I could make some revenue (at least just to cover some upkeep costs), and so on..​

Here are some screenshots of what I have so far:

As you can see I am working on this in Unity Engine (in C#) not in JavaScript like the original

this is better cause I can have Browser version of game as well as Desktop and Smartphone versions, and all of them would be communicating better than current TK with their mobile app

So what do you think.. I already have some ideas about that different game, but it would be a longer process since I would have to come up with new art.. (I already have an killer artist ready from previous projects we worked together on) And I'm kinda more in favor of doing the different game, but I would like to hear your opinion on this...


If you are in favor of the new game, do you have any suggestions? Like what would you change with travian, what would you like to see in games you play (browser ones, right?)


Thank you all in advance!!

open source or not ?

Well not, since Unity Engine games don't work like that, when you export the game, You can't change anything

btw here is a quick demo.. https://bravian-test.000webhostapp.com/
It will take some time to load, since it's not yet optimised very well

I would be down for open sourcing too. You could upload the files to Github with a license that allows for contribution to your project only. This way we can assist you in the development of the game through Unity.
