Thread: Angry Birds Reaches 500mm downloads!

I have my work cut out for me! Angry Birds is a story driven game (ie a story leads the characters vs the other way around) and there are many disadvantages to this. First, you don't know each individual Angry Bird from the next Angry Bird. Second, the story is lead by an outside force, the pigs stealing the eggs. If the pigs never stole the eggs, the Angry Birds wouldn't be angry. Character driven games are really going to shut the game down, which is what I'm developing. A story that is lead by a character with goals, rather than being affected by an unknown force. If spongebob was sitting in a room, you can predict what he'd do. If Angry Birds were sitting in an empty room, they'd have nothing to do until something effected them. Story driven is the equivalent to a great Movie. and the sequels usually suck. Character driven is like a great sitcom. There can be a billion episodes, and they all work, because characters were developed and they LEAD each episode. Enough ranting, at least Angry Birds set a goal for me to abolish.

Good luck. You have a long journey cut out for you. Any idea what your going to do?

Thank you! Right now I'm raising capital to develop the first game, which features this character


I developed some awesome game play mechanics, a well rounded character, and game play that really work well with the characters, in the same way Angry Birds works well with a sling shot. Most developers now adays are coming up with game play mechanics and then just throwing disposable characters on top!

Right now the game is getting quoted by a developer, and from there, I can get exact figures, and start moving on the beta!

Very cool character design. It reminds me of Plankton from Spongebob.

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing what you create.

Thanks guys! Yeah I have heard the plankton thing before, maybe that's good so it's easily recognizable

Is he going after the secret recipe?

I don't get it, AB is a .99 cent game, not the answer to global economic stabilization.

Actually, he's a terrible inventor trying to build a rocketship, fly to the moon and rescue his mom

I'm down to beta test it on android if you need it eventually, just let me know.
