Great Minds

Penny Arcade stole my idea for creating a horrible new "tap things and wait a really long time" game.

They naturally came up with the better name: "Touchasaurus."

(My working title was "Fantasy Dream Dragon Zooquarium and Baby Unicorn Farm Storyville.")

True Story: I breed Wizard Dragons.


The other notable differences:

In my game, "FDDZ+BUFS", a dollar buys you nothing. Standard rate is $3 to get a taste, $5-10 for the cheap stuff, $30 if you want the good shit.

The dragons you buy only have a 5 minute window after hatching where you're able to claim them. If you are not around to click the egg within these 5 minutes, the dragon will get Dragon AIDs and immediately die. You can revive the dragon for $30.

The dragons shit all over your castle. You need to click the shits to remove them. This gives you a single coin, which you can spend only on ugly decorative trees, which do nothing.

There will be an excessive amount of mindless tapping and double-tapping on poops and bushes, this is not to make the 'player' feel like he is actually 'playing' a 'game', I just want to make stupid assholes waste their time by needlessly triple-tapping meaningless buttons.

Also, this helps so that you accidentally hit "Buy NOW!" buttons and are immediately charged $30 to your credit card. No refunds, kids, sorry.




My game would be almost entirely pop-up box advertisements asking you to give me money. I think an acceptable ratio would be 6 minutes of clicking through ads followed by a grand total of 18 seconds of actual 'play' time per session.

  2. ArcheAge is an MMORPG developed by Korean developer Jake Song (former developer of Lineage) and his development company, XL Games. The game was released in Korea on January 15, 2013, Europe and North America Cheap Archeage Gold on September 16, 2014, and has also had a closed beta in China. ArcheAge is described as a "sandpark" MMORPG, which the developers say is a hybrid of the open content style of a "sandbox" game and the more structured play experience of a "themepark" game.
