 		That moment when you post a marginally humerous picture on Twitter, then it gets hundreds of retweets, and yet not a single one of your 300+ games has ever gained that much attention...!

Bloody tweet, FFS...

 		If you want people to play your games, there are a few options:

  • The Afr0 way: Take an already popular franchise, such as Warhammer Online, and remake it. Another example of an abandoned title is SimsVille.
  • The Blizzard way: Take your most popular franchise (in your case, that would probably be Platdude or Tetripong) and turn it into an MMO = instant success!
  • The Hollywood way: Take your most popular franchise and turn it into a movie. The movie might not always be a success (tip: insist on using only A-list actors such as Johnny Depp as Platdude and Angelina Jolie as Mrs. Platdude), but it should boost your sales/plays either way.

 		There's a fourth method..

The Modern way : Turn your game into a chore-em-up, requiring at least 18,000 plays of each level, and dumb luck to actually make any progress.. Then add IAP's up the wazzoo, and make sure the game spams the fuck out of all of the player's friends on Facebook.

 		May I come with another suggestion?
If you end up doing the movie, please have The Rock as Idigidragon.
He'd be perfect for that role!!
