15 Apr 2022, 11:24Okay, for the past weeks; I was getting familiar with this website, and I am requesting a feature for players and creators who make/create games:
Points System
Although; many players or creators should earn points when they play or create any game via any format like Quest, Squiffy, or any game format supported on this website. However; players or creators shuld have an ability to earn as they play or create games,--or if anyone played their games what they've wrote.
Why This Important?
Although; large gaming or media giants like Nintendo, Disney, Activision, Microsoft, and other media/tech giants often turn away small independent game developers. Antitrust is a known concern during these days. Creator monopoliesand other greedy companies often kill off competition. That caused many small game developers to be out of business, or bankrupt.
Being a gaming giant doesn't always mean better! Think about how large giants that were demonopolized years ago, like the break up of AT&T.
Together, we can all fight these giants. Despite us making these games free to play, we need a special earning mechanism that give users like us a chance to earn from our work.
How It Should Work?
A player or creator who creates and publishes a new game earns an initial amount of points, for example: 250 points. A player who plays a game earns a number of points during minutes or hours of gameplay, for example: 10 points per hour; or 4 points per interactivity of a game. A creator earns a set amount of points,--set by a site administrator, which is necessary to prevent greedy creators from making more money, and not giving players a chance to earn.
Each user account has a points balance. However; automated management of these points balances should be implemented.
When a user earns a certain amount of points; a rank is reached. Each rank should display a number of users.
How Points Should Be Cashed Out?
PayPal should be a preferred way to receive payments for both gamers and game developers equally.
Minimum Requirements:
The following requirements is key to ensure this system works properly:
- Vertual Private Server With At Least 8 GB Of Ram - You need a vertual Prive server via VPS hosting for this feature to work. A shred server will NOT work!
- PayPal Integration - you may need to setup a PayPal account for implementing mass payouts for your users. Each user sets their own PayPal email address. To ensure you have enough founds; you must have dedicatedset of funds on your dedicated PayPal account.
- Either build or find a system that will handle points.
- Mechanism for implementing ranks for users.
