Piracy & Technical failure after launching my game.

We’re making a first person shooter in a world of first person shooters.
We continue to fear that we aren’t doing enough to make the game unique and attractive to get and maintain a player base, let alone make money.
There is more to it under the hood to be sure, but from an outsiders perspective, it is still just a generic first person shooter.

What have you made?
I’m sure the trailers don’t show everything, but from what they do show, the game comes across as a generic third person shooter.
A third person shooter in a world of third person shooters.
If that is truly all there is to it, no amount of story or polish will help

I don’t agree.

There will always genres like FPS, Strategy, RPG, platformer, etc. What’s important is what you add to it, like additional mechanics, art, story, etc. That’s how you differentiate it from the rest.

The difference between Quake and Unreal Tournament for example is mainly the art and story. There are mechanics differences, but they are still FPSs.

There’s also the consideration of money. Not everyone has the posibility to spend 50$ for a third person shooter, some may settle for one at 15$ or 10$.

So yeah, I think there’s a place for everybody and the art and the story are very important. Of course, having additional **mechanics **is always good.
