Ok, so I got permission from my history teacher for my Final Exam to be to make a civil war game. The game is a top-down third person shooter. I am considering making it an online game after I hand it in to my teacher. I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to pay 2$/month to play a top-down civil war shooter.

Hehe depends on how good it is =0 but heck yea id consider it =0

Yeah, it depends on how good it is. What program would you make it with? I think it would take you a very long time to make a good the quality where someone would pay money to play it. Personally, I wouldn't pay money to play any online games. But there are many people willing to do so.

I'm making it in RPG Maker XP beleive it or not. I'm using an ABS script.
But yeah, If I'm expecting people to pay to play, I'm gonna make it worth it.

Honestly, if it's a vaguely decent game I'd be happy to pay to play, provided I can be a tester and tell you anything that I find dodgy!!!!!!!
That seems to be my interest... We'll see the quality of the game: I'm looking forward to it!

Oh, everyone can be a tester. If I get the game running properly, I'll have a couple months or so of open beta so people can help me work out bugs and decide if they want to pay to play.

when it would be done then?? i am having experience with RPG maker with all the versions, but dont ask me how to script i am good at making story's

[DeM0nFiRe]

I'm really not sure when it'd be done. If there's not enough interest, then I wont even bother. the reason why I have to at least make a single player demo, is for my history class. I may post that demo later. The demo will noly have the three days of the battle of gettysburg and the information about the war.

I think you idea has potential. people love the battle field games i dont see why a civil war game wouldn't be successful. I know there are a few civil war games out there but i dont know of any that are first person. you may want to look at them for ideas or look for things they messed up that you can improve.

and yes i would pay to play it if i had some money or a job.

I probably wouldn't pay 2 dollars a month for a game especially when just starting, but perhaps if you made the game-play free, but made a special members place that members could get, or even better limit the amount of time free accounts can play per month. Thats just my two cents. I can see from some of the previous replies many would pay outright. I wish you luck with this game!
