🎮🏅💎🎱 Similar Worlds Games - Overview & Suggestions ⚔♠👾🛡

Hello all members!
We have already begun preparations to develop exciting Multi-player Games on Similar Worlds.

The games will vary greatly in type/genre; we will be sure to have a wide range to choose from, so that everyone can find the type of games they enjoy.

This project will take some time to be completed, but we're on it! :)



👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 All games will be Multi-player compatible. This will make things very fun and competitive!

However, each game should be also playable in Single-Player mode as well, which can be used for practice, or simply when you are not in the mood for competition.

There will be Leaderboards, Awards, Power-ups, etc... to make the games more engaging.

These goals and accomplishments and add to the "replay value" of each game, so it hardly ever gets boring.

Mostly all games will all be Easy to Learn. Easy to Play. Fun to play with friends and family.

The games will be launched from "Game Rooms", in which a specified number of players will be able to join at a time.

For example, only 2 Players would be able to actively join a Pool Match.
While up to 8 Players may be able to join a Match-3 game room, where the game will begin and end at roughly the same time, per round.



💰 Another exciting thing about our games is that our virtual currencies will be cross-compatible between all games.

You will be rewarded in the same currency you can currently use to buy SW Gifts, which is SW Coins.

As an example: You can spend a lot of time playing "Game A", racking up lots of SW Coins.
You can take those coin earnings and spend it on Power-ups in "Game B".

So, you can take all your earnings from game to game, and spend them where you choose.



💫 We will be sure to make our games as fair as possible between New, Long-time and "Power-up" users.

Our Power-ups will NOT give any players an unfair advantage; it will only provide slight enhancements.

We have seen other game sites go to ruin by operating a "Pay to Win" system, where those who invest the most money into Power-ups will almost always win.

We are going to do our best to make sure our SW Games NEVER reaches to that point.



🖥📱 We are working to make these games very compatible with most Devices and Browsers, so you can play them on Mobile, Tablet, Laptop or Desktop PC without issue.

We'll be doing our best to make these games very "Light" and quick, without heavy graphics and animations, so that you can have an enjoyable experience, even slower devices.



💡 SW Games - Suggestions 📩

This topic was made primarily to get feedback from our members.

We already have a solid plan on how we would like to develop these games, and which games we think should be made first.

However, we also think it would be best to include our members in the early stages as well.

Please feel free to leave your feedback on our SW Games idea as explained above.

Also, importantly, please suggest to us which games you would like to see on Similar Worlds the most.

I have left a long list of Poll Options above for you to choose from.
Not all of these games are in our plans for development.

Also, some of them will be too complex to develop right now, but may be developed in a year or two from now (eg: Car Racing and Multi Fighter Games).

Please note that even though some Brand Name games are mentioned above, it is not our plan to COPY any game idea.

All of the games we make will have unique changes/improvements to them; we will attempt to be as original as possible.

The poll list is made with those names to help you and us (the team) have a clearer picture of which games we are referring to, and what the general game-play should be like.

Please feel free to use the comments section below to suggest other game ideas that are not listed, or give suggestions on how we can improve a particular game, or the overall SW Games concept.

Thank you!
-The SW Team



Update:

Sorry for the previous confusion, but very likely, each game we develop will be playable as a single-player game as well.

You will be able to choose the game-room settings and customize it to your preferences.

• Public/Open game by Default
• Private/Invite-Only option
• Start a game without others in the room to initiate Single-Player mode
Maybe you can make it so you can browse the site while waiting for your opponent to make their move while playing regular chess.. And you just get a notification when they make their move and it's your turn? So you can take your turn and everyone can take their time and nobody gets bored.. Is that possible?
Tminus6453 · M
Poker and blackjack should be on that list!
Tminus6453 · M
Ive never seen or heard of Tonk before and am not sure whats going on in that demo......but blackjack and poker are basic card games and MUCH easier to learn than chess, i can assure you that🙂
Andrew · Admin
@Tminus6453: Are you familiar with "Rummy" then?

I believe that Tonk is derived from Rummy, but may be simpler to learn/play.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonk_(card_game)

Tonk, or tunk, is a matching card game, which combines features of knock rummy and conquian. Tonk is a relatively fast game that can be played during brief periods of time by varying numbers of players. In some places it is a popular pastime for workers on their lunch break.



I have added both Poker and Blackjack to the Poll Options now.
Please do go ahead and vote on them.



We will research more about Poker and Blackjack to help us decide if we think it would be a good match for the site.

And even if we do not make these games right away as one of our first games launched, there may be a high chance of us developing those games months later.

Noticed the low turnout on this post. You might want to consider reposting this every once in a while. Featuring any post really doesn't do much if new users don't know who you are.

This is an observation on my own featured post. Not a complaint. I really don't mind being not popular. 😊

@IstillmissEP: Better :)
Game of pet training on sw sounds like a cool idea Andrew.
Fishy · 36-40, F
This is just a thought, but I think it would be interesting to add self improvement and gamification games,
Like Habitica

Where people earn points and damage bosses by completing checklists, and users can team up etc
SW-User
Hello :) Games! Yes please, any and all :)
I realize this post was made in 2017 from the date on it, but i am hoping this feature will come soon enough :) 💜
SW-User
I advise to only include games where users can challenge each other. Add yahtzee, cribbage and backgammon to the list please. And hearts.
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
You should also have an option to say that "No games are of the slightest interest".

Avatar dress-up could be fun.

@Andrew I want to RELAX :) Zen out and think (a little to barely at all).
I HATE games with competition. NOT for me, and I know, NOT for some of us here on SW.

So please have games with ONE player such as Solitaire, etc.
Word games are great. Memory games are OK. Card games are fine too.
We do not need games which are timed or use demerit points: THAT IS A NO-NO.
Even some kind of easy kid level games are always good; people with illnesses don't need more stress.

Thank you. 🌺
Can we have some shooter game where instead of blocking we just shoot the offender out of our world?🤔

Really I have no violent tendancies

@InOtterWords I love this!
I play Joepardy on my phone it's a world wide app called Jeopardy world tour.
It is through UKen and I live in America.
This is a nice app for those who like to challenge their mind.
I've been playing for a few years and I have made alot of progress throughout the years since I've been playing but it's not for someone who is bored with learning anything.

It is a progressive game that questions your educational skills. In a very broad area of study.

I love it, because I grew up knowing the game, but it is similar to Trivia Crack which I suggested when then this poll/question appeared here.
Trivia Crack is an electronic version ofthe board game of Trivial Pursuit.
It's a range of history, sports, geography, science, and lifestyle and more.

If you like word games, or anything relating to learning this is a great challenging game that teaches you, even some useless knowledge. Yet at the same time, it challenges you in skill, knowledge and wisdom, efficiency and sharpness.
Knowing history, studies and understanding of the world that evolves around us.
This game only would apply to anyone who wants to learn.
This is how I learn and challenge myself to what I know and do not know.

I try to exercise my brain everyday, especially in this mundane world that we live in. I try to keep my mind actively learning even on my off days.

@MamaButterfly
Is it similar to the game show Jeopardy! Do you challenge others?
@SimplyTracie Yes it is and it has different stages and levels. You begin in the lowest city, Los Angeles and move up to different city's around the world.
I'm in the city of Tokyo now.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@MamaButterfly Are the answers related to the city?
Selah ·
Something like The Sims. The SWims😏.
CaptainCanadia · 41-45, M
Cool! Scrabble, chess, pictionary, etc are the best. If you implement 'classic' games because their longevity is proven.
I agree TyphoidJerry.
SW-User
Drawing and word based games will be a lot of fun!
👌🏻yes.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
Poker and blackjack please. 😊
Andrew · Admin
I have added both Poker and Blackjack to the Poll Options now.
Please do go ahead and vote on them.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Andrew: I did. Thank you 😊
Aliengel · 22-25, M
I want a game that is similar to sims that we can create our own characters and mingle with SW people around or do exciting games on it just like in sim city community world
RoboChloe · 26-30, F
While lots of these games are good ideas, and I would enjoy playing them quite a bit, I don't think they're all feasible as web games. How would you implement a guitar hero clone in SW? or a Pokémon clone, for that matter? The least feasible of course is a Starfox clone.
RoboChloe · 26-30, F
Thanks a lot for your response. I can see that this is all well thought through, more so that I had expected. However, I noticed you said "our hired game developer", which has me a bit worried. You only have one game developer on your team?

I know that making these games in a browser is possible. I've done some browser-based game development myself. But it takes a very long time, and that's a very long list of games, even if you only make a quarter of them, or less.

Regardless of my skepticism, I do hope you succeed and that these games are fantastic, though frankly I would prefer if all of the features promised at launch were on the site before new ones started development.
Andrew · Admin
@RoboChloe: You're welcome.
Thank you also for the concern and feedback.

Yes, we take everything we do very seriously, and this is not an overnight idea we have come up with.

We've done a lot of research before deciding to make these games.

We believe that the current team we have put together is sufficiently diverse and skilled to be able to produce what we are aiming for.

Both Nuno and myself will also be involved in the game development, probably more on the Server/Website side, and will handle most of the Multi-player data sharing, variables, game logic, etc...

While the game developer will handle more of the game mechanics, animations, and will implement the various assets provided to him.

We also have a very skilled professional in each area:
• Character & Object Design
• Artwork/UI/Background Design
• Music Production


It is a team of experienced individuals, each excelling at what they do best.

This will help split the workload, so that we can produce high-quality games more quickly.
Andrew · Admin
@RoboChloe: though frankly I would prefer if all of the features promised at launch were on the site before new ones started development

We understand.
We will not stop developing the other features while the games are being developed.

At the same time however, we want to make this site more exciting in the mean time, and a lot of the other pending features may not add as much excitement to Similar Worlds as the games would.
Honestly depends, it's hard to make a game that is compatible between mobile and computer and it's still fear,


The only suggestion I have is that in skill games there is as little RGN as possible
Andrew · Admin
Thanks for the feedback.

Yup, we are aware that PC players may have some advantage over Mobile players in some games, however, with this in mind, we'll be doing our best to make the game-play as even/fair as possible, regardless of the device being used.
Will they be able to be played on a mobile browser or will the app be needed?
Andrew · Admin
@MagnifiqueGirl: They will definitely be playable on Mobile Browsers.

We are specifically making them to be compatible across all (95%-99%) browsers, both Mobile and PC.
Cooper802Forever · 26-30, M
I need some bejeweled in my SW life lmao!😊
Fishy · 36-40, F
A RPG style quest game would be cool
Fishy · 36-40, F
Sorta something like Gaia online
RoboChloe · 26-30, F
Let us play singleplayer. Please.
Goralski · 56-60, M
Don't forget spin d bottle
If I may offer a game suggestion, how about some Trivia Crack?
Would anyone be interested in playing that? Its fun, challenging, educational and also addicting too.
Its a perfect waste of time for useless knowledge.
Madelenie · 26-30, F
Ehhh I'd pick multi fighter, smash bro, pokemon, bomberman, tetris, pacman, car battle, regular chess and checkers. Hehehe it ain't being greedy if I can have more interactions with my friends on here lol
SarahS · 26-30, F
Connect four
ManicMicah · 26-30, M
So...there won't be an option to play by ourselves?
Jessa29 · 36-40, FMod
So it looks like there will be a single player option as like an option for practice.

Checkers has now been added to the list.
dumpstermeow · 41-45, F
Uno and hearts please!
Classified · M
Is the game go an option?
It's not really easy to master it, can be very lengthy on a 19x19 board (there is 13x13 and 9x9 as well) and single player is not an option, but the rules are simple and it may be easy to program.

I enjoy solitaire.

There was a word game
(not any kind of cross word puzzle or Scrabble)
and it has vanished from any phone app, so I can't even recall the name.

Boos are very cute :)
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
Diyanne · F
This is so cool. I would luv :

Speed Maze
Battleship
Car Racing / Car Battle
Multi Fighter
Air Battle

Thank you Andrew 😃 👍
SW-User
Please put the game named "Checkers"
That should be easy enough as there are many different frameworks.....
Gentle153 · 36-40, MMod
That is already in the list :)
