Lightsabers from Swtor

wrixel — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:02:15 +0000

Here are some of the in-game lightsabers renders from Swtor.

Which one would you pick?

Did SWTOR Fail?

wrixel — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:22:51 +0000

Did Swtor fail? Did it kill WoW?

EA just announced that SWTOR has 1.7 Million Subscribers. The LA times also publciized that the game cost nearly $200M to make.

LA Times Link 1.7 Subscribers Link

With this information one can make a couple of broad estimations to see how SWTOR performed.

Estimated Cost of Swtor		$ 200,000,000

Active Subscribers		1,700,000
Retail Box Cost		$ 60
Retail Sales		$ 102,000,000

Release Date Loss		$ (98,000,000)

On day 1 Swtor had a loss of $98M dollars. Although this might look really bad, the real money comes from the monthly subscription fee…

Active Subscribers		1,700,000
Monthly Subscription Fee		$ 15
Monthly Revenue		$ 25,483,000

SWTOR received a monthly revenue stream of $25.5 M based on the 1.7M subscribers each paying the $15 monthly fee.

If we extrapolate this further…(assuming the 1.7M subscribers stays fixed)

Month 1		$ 25,483,000
Month 2		$ 25,483,000
Month 3		$ 25,483,000
Month 4		$ 25,483,000

After 4 months of operation		$ 101,932,000
Release Date Loss		$ (98,000,000)
Profit		$ 3,932,000

…you can see that after 4 months of operations, SWTOR breaks-even and will begin to become profitable.

I excluded overhead costs, operational expenses, dev royalties, IP royalties, subscriber churn and a lot of other costs but in terms of just revenue I feel like this is a pretty good estimate.

So back to our main questions:

Did Swtor fail?

SWTOR most certainly did not fail. It might not have been a huge success but it is still a great MMO release that will make the company money in a few months.

http://www.torhead.com/guide/leaks shows a lot of future content patches to be released in the coming months, so I think Swtor will be a very successful mmo.

Did it kill WoW?

SWTOR did not kill WoW. WoW still maintains very high subscriber counts and is still the king of the MMO genre.

To Build An Android App . . .

Michael Olavarria — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:47:37 +0000

Recently, I’ve been giving game design and development great thought. Great games like The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim have gotten me thinking about what it would be like to design a fantastic game.

I began a series called “Designing a Great Game.” Part 1 and Part 2 are already available, and I plan on adding more in the near future.

In the spirit of designing a great game, I decided to try and craft a mobile app. Mobile gaming is taking off, and it’s the perfect time for aspiring designers/developers to get in on the ground floor.

So, here’s my lil’ app that could:

Sure, it looks like a hot bowl of DOS crap, but it’s mine, dammit! And I’m pretty proud of it.

Next, I’ll have zombies and ninjas fightin’ up in here!

If you haven’t tried developing an app, it’s pretty simple. It takes a bit of leg work to get the programs installed–You need Java SDK, Android SDK, and an IDE like Eclipse for starters–but there are plenty of instructions available online.

Android Developers has step by step instructions on how to set up your development environment, and Beginning Android Application Development by Wei-Meng Lee is a great instructional book to get your started.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to create a game, now’s your chance to find out. Seize the day!
