Dovogame Introduced Mansion System in Business Tycoon

 

Dovogame has recently launched a new mansion system for Business Tycoon Online (BTO), the most popular online business simulation game worldwide.

The new features will allow tycoons to construct buildings like garage, private airport and medal exhibition to showcase their hard-earned in-game items. Along with recreational like beach and swimming pool, these mansion buildings will ensure a sense of achievement by magnificent game graphics.

All the mansion buildings tycoons own add up to their company’s public image. Different mansion buildings will increase the company revenue, medal bonus, company store cap, company employee cap, fatigue cap, routine rewards, communication effect, factory production rate and raw material supply rate. Employees can be assigned to all mansion buildings to gain an extra bonus.

The construction of mansion buildings will consume raw materials in the new mansion warehouse. Tycoons have to transfer raw materials from factory warehouse to mansion warehouse to construct their mansion buildings.

 

This update has shown Dovogame’s continuous effort to provide better gaming experience for all players. All tycoons can showcase their in-game achievements in this new system. Non-gold buyers can get raw materials from factory and trade center by TCN to construct their mansion buildings. This update will surely increase the playability and balance of Business Tycoon Online (BTO).

The Old Republic will “never be profitable” says Bigpoint CEO

The Old Republic will “never be profitable” says Bigpoint CEO

by Jonathan (Ardua) Doyle OnRPG Journalist,

 

In case you have not heard the news, on Thursday at the London Games Conference, Bigpoint CEO Heiko Hubertz went on record as having claimed that EA-Biowares upcoming The Old Republic MMO will never turn a profit.

 

Star Wars The Old Republic @ OnRPG

 

“If you look at Star Wars from EA and BioWare, they estimated a development budget of over $100m,” he explained.

 

“This is an online game for many million of subscribers, so the publisher does not understand that a subscription model is not the future.”

 

“With micro-transactions maybe I see the game having a chance but I don’t think that EA or BioWare will ever be profitable with this game. Ever.”

 

Bigpoint, for reference, is developing free-to-play MMO’s using licenses such as Battlestar Galactica and The Mummy, and Hubertz has insisted that developing games for a single format or device is a mistake.

 

Only time will tell if The Old Republic replaces APB as the industries largest and most painful failure.

Battlestar Galactica Online

As hardcore Battlestar Galactica fans the OnRPG crew couldn’t wait to get their chubby fingers on this game. Even though the server we joined offered a 50% xp bonus for the Cylon faction we couldn’t join the toasters and opted to join the humans.

The game litterally drops you straight into the piloting seat of a Viper and 20 seconds into it you’re shooting training drones to smithereens. Starbucks is coaching you and pretty soon you’re shooting more threatening targets than just drones!

Whether you love or are of the same opinion as me on APB it’s likely you’re interested what will happen with the game now that Real Time Worlds has shut down service. Rumors were circulating for the past few weeks now that the game will be saved by another developer purchasing it.

 

 

All Points Bulletin Might Be saved!

 

 

The most likely candidate on the rumor list recently was fellow British developer and publisher Codemasters. This has now officially been quashed as David Solari the Online General Manager of Codemasters explained to Eurogamer “We have not picked up APB. I can answer you definitively,” he said, “we haven’t picked that up.”

 

Solari previously spoke to Eurogamer to voice his opinion that its highly likely that assets of APB will be picked up, if not the game itself as a whole then certainly elements of it, like the games highly advanced character customization feature.

 

Next developer on the rumor list to save APB is Epic, we’re still waiting for an official word from them.
