New HPS titles?

Glenn Saunders Wrote:> You say that if people have a map editor for PzC (same for other series) they can do their own titles and you cant sell they... FALSE,

No - I am saying there is no public editor and this allows us to create new games with new public excitement which in turns generate income that supports the future development of the series. This is FACT. John Tiller makes a living in part by creating games so the strategy we pursue involves maximizing teh number of games sold.

If there was a way for players to make their own maps for any title - say you could build your own Alamein using Tobruk, - then some players might just try the player created Alamain and not buy the HPS copy. This would not be a good thing. Sales are not strong here guys - they are marginal at best but still enough to make it worth while making and supporting the series.

Anything that would reduce the number of copies of game sold is not a good thing.

Anyway - it is pointless to argue the point further as the Map editor is not a tool available to the public. There is no plans to make it available and there is no end in sight for the series, so even speculating what could happen at some future point is not something John Tiller and partners have even discussed.

There has been discussion recently in the SB world about this very subject, and, like here, it usually brings out strong feelings in both directions. One guy over on GameSquad's forums actually demanded that Tiller get on the boards and explain himself on this very subject.

Strong emotions, indeed.

I'm working on a post that brings up the subject of complete games modified from existing SB games and how this may or may not impact the HPS commercial work. I'd invite you all to comment there as well once I get it smoothed out, since it has applications here as well.
