Age of History 3 - Publisher?

[Shinayu 56]

I think only if they don't force you to make a lot of paid DLC, don't force you to charge unfair prices, let you with the total creativity for creating the game, help with easier modding and add a multiplayer mode

[Thefernofrommars 88]

I wouldn't recommend paradox interactive, they're known for ruining franchises by greed. Although it'd definitely get the game out there, it'd be a massive gamble on if they force you to pump out 40 DLCs or not.

I'd recommend contacting 'Aquila Interactive', you can find them on discord through their current game project 'Gilded Destiny'

A better answer: 

If Paradox Interactive will add a multiplayer mod to the game, yes. If they won't add it, no. Cuz they will make just some unnecessary DLC's and a high fee for the game..

 

I think Lukasz can be a better publisher than Paradox for Age of History 3 because he deals directly with his players' suggestions.

 

Also, I think you don't understand the importance of multiplayer mod. The game may become boring after a few hours, but with multiplayer it can be played for months or maybe years without getting bored. (see also EU4, HOI4)

 

 

 

If you've actually played any paradox game's multiplayer, it's HORRIBLY buggy. It's been 15 years and they STILL haven't fixed important issues like desync.

Would they accept all of it ? That's the point.

Daha iyi bir cevap: 

Paradox Interactive oyuna çok oyunculu mod ekleyecekse evet. Eklemezlerse hayır. Çünkü sadece gereksiz DLC'ler hazırlayacaklar ve oyun için yüksek ücretler ödeyecekler..

 

Age of History 3 için Lukasz'ın Paradox'tan daha iyi bir yayıncı olabileceğini düşünüyorum çünkü doğrudan oyuncularının önerileriyle ilgileniyor.

 

Ayrıca çok oyunculu modun önemini anlamadığınızı düşünüyorum. Oyun birkaç saat sonra sıkıcı hale gelebiliyor ama çok oyunculu modda aylarca, belki yıllarca sıkılmadan oynanabiliyor. (ayrıca bkz. EU4, HOI4)

 

 

 

Yes yes yes

That's the worrying part...

[EdgeLord 87]

Depends on what they are willing to do and the requirements that come with getting their help

[idiot 136]

Do it

Does Age of History 3 need a publisher? What do you think?

 

if this means a bunch of DLCs and a super expensive base game, definitely not. Also, are you sure this is even real? This almost looks like someone just trying to leak the game, and it makes me nervous, I think things are fine the way they have been so far. And will you even still have independence over how the game comes out if you do accept this? This doesn't seem worth it, you can build up a large following from your own name as well, not just paradox.

Lukasz, first of all you have to make sure that the mail is from paradox and not fake. And you should not allow any additions to the game without your permission, everything should be under your control. Remember, we loved Age Of History because it was Age Of History and it shouldn't lose that spirit.

Uma resposta melhor: 

Se a Paradox Interactive adicionar um mod multiplayer ao jogo, sim. Se eles não adicionarem, não. Porque eles farão apenas alguns DLCs desnecessários e uma taxa alta pelo jogo.

 

Acho que Lukasz pode ser um editor melhor do que Paradox for Age of History 3 porque ele lida diretamente com as sugestões de seus jogadores.

 

Além disso, acho que você não entende a importância do mod multijogador. O jogo pode ficar entediante depois de algumas horas, mas com o modo multijogador pode ser jogado por meses ou talvez anos sem ficar entediado. (ver também EU4, HOI4)

 

 

 

with paradox Multiplayer there would probably come a 20 dollar dls for Multiplayer

Looks real to me

On the community post most people seem in favour of you accepting, but most people here on the forums seem to say no. Weird.

Does anyone here knows what a publisher is?

I suspect, I don't think Paradox would be as good...

It's because paraslop isn't a good company.

Well no, they would add it. But it'd cause the game to desync every couple of years.
Lukasz shouldn't go to paraslop to make multiplayer, paraslop can barely make multiplayer work on vic3 and ck3, let alone making multiplayer work on an engine they don't use (java).

If Lukasz wants advice on multiplayer related stuff with java, he should probably go to the people who develop Airships conquer the skies.

Aquila interactive could 100% get sponsors for AOH3 if they're interested.

Looking at this objectively. Maybe yes BUT this seems more weirdly a scam. 

Pro is that you get money and stuff that you usually don't have access to. And not like they can force you to make DLCs since mobile and why? HOI4 already makes 10 morbillion from their DLCs aswell as other IPs under their belt. This seems more like a way to extend their influence on the historical tactical strategic RTS genre or something (I do not know what specific genre HOI4 or Victoria 2 are.) Than anything making more money. They'll make more but not their main players. Other than that, you may lose autonomy on your own project so it's best if you ask if you if your development on the project will be intervened on or not.

But this email is just, odd. It gives off a really fishy vibe. So do what you need to do first on checking if this is more of a hook scam.

-Like check the email and if this is the original business email used by Paradox themselves.

-Converse more to see if this person is an actual employee of Paradox interactive. Even look him up and see if he is actually working for Paradox

-Read between the lines for any errors or slip-ups the writer had made.

-And check for any more drills use for scam emails.

Most importantly is be ready if this man is here only to leak the game, reuse the game for his own motives, or something else. Also don't forget that he could give you a trojan in a blink of an eye like a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) or something else worst. Always prepare for the worst. Of course I'm just a kid on your forum but being paranoid is better than being oblivious.

@Łukasz Jakowski, sorry for the ping. Just concerned.

Yes 100% I would accept it would allow the adding of lots of features that can't be added by 1 prsn only
