Hey Seth, just wanted to check in to see if there were any updates on the FQ situation -- any plans to revive it? Hope all's going well for you.
My current project (an iPhone game) should be winding down soon, then my plan is to figure out something with FQ or at least put up a single large game or something like that.![]()

Seth, on a non-FQ note: you have been doing games for mobile phones now for several years. Would you mind posting either here or on your blog the economics of the mobile phone as a game platform? How big is the market of mobile phone users that *buy* apps for their phone? Has this been more profitable for you personally than the PC game market? Why not target a console platform? Amazon appears to be getting in the game distribution racket, so why not target them?
Thanks,
--Joe
Well, I don't really know much about mobile games, the only one I personally released was "Reckless Thief" for the PocketPC some years back, the work I've been doing has been hired-gun/consultation programming for other companies mostly, so I'm not privy to the sales info.
But the pay has been great so they must be making a bundle. I hope to put our some of my own mobile stuff soon, it's hard to get noticed in the sea of stuff if you don't have a big name though.

Seth,
Have you looked at the way popcap.com monetizes their web games? It's interesting mix of banner ads and in-game stuff. This strikes me as an interesting model for games like FQ.
Just some unasked for brainstorming. :-D
So glad to see FQ is back -- although I do miss being able to visit the graveyard and dig. Can't do anything at the church or hospital, either -- any chance any of these options will be opening up anytime soon?
Hi guys, does anyone know what time zone the server for the current game is in?
wondering when it ticks over to the next day
The server is running in Japan, it is GNT/UTC+9. A day is reset at midnight.Hi guys, does anyone know what time zone the server for the current game is in?
These were written by third parties, it's very easy to throw off a game with a few balancing problems so I'll probably not mess with those, no time to babysit 'em.I do miss being able to visit the graveyard and dig.

Im trying to test my server anybody want to play http://127.0.0.1/
On behalf of both me and HAWK ( no matter how many times she changes it lol...) That was an awesome change btw.. Us being able to name change.. that's the only positive though,
Before you shut down what seems like an eternity ago on halloween... can't you bring back some of our faves? e.g. Rollover turns & graveyard digs for keys & tags
Then it's worth going to the hospital to either give out cards.. Or go for a wander if you are fortunate enough to have found a key whilst digging in the graveyard... Happy days.. Also, whatever happened to the slot machines in Church? LOL Just a suggestion...
