Game Length

JMO but I think 35 min game days are too long

The servers have to be paid for somehow.

What does that have to do with it? 

But I think the 35 minutes is ok, though a bit harder to calculate than 30 minutes. Definately not under 30, because even though you normally don't have much to do in a day, sometimes there can be so much stuff to do (like changing aircraft schedules) that you wish the day was longer...

Longer days = More play time = More credits

[Jps]

Longer days = More play time = More credits

Yeah, but even if it was shorter, new game worlds would be created after the end of the previous, and players would play in those again. (assuming majority of players play more than 1 game).
So the only difference would be that new game worlds would have to be opened a bit more often.

I don't mind paying 2 credits a week , make it 25 mins a game day please (just like the good ole days)

Dont you think if there was server space/time available that Sami would start another world?

more people play early on in the game.  Therefore, the longer the early part of the game takes, the longer people will be paying 1cr per week.

True, for the second, but I don't think server capacity has ay relevance, when there would be the same number of games running, but they would just end quicker so they would have to be replaced more often.

But, Sami has stated that it's going to be 35 minutes, so we are splitting hair here...

Well, I wanna know why there is no advertising on this site?....

[Maarten Otto]

Because I, and most other people hate advertising and will move as soon as we spot the first Google addsense banner.

I don't really mind Advertising on the page if this is a free to play game...
but since it's pay to play......NO..

I think the main reason its 35min is give Sami more time to code V1.3. You could argue more money but I think its set so as not to rush him into V1.3.

Ah the ol' money talk.

People devote their time to products, if they think their time is worth even a lousy 10 cents, they should charge 10 cents. It's not up to us whether or not to vent our opinions about that.

A game day is 35 minutes, and that is the way it is. What else do you want to discuss about it?

Very true, sir.

Having played 30 mins and 35 mins I have no objections it gives people like me more time to do stuff and react to things.

Overall I am very happy with the pace the game is progressing at 35min/day.

Unfortunately I think there are two schools of thought on this, depending on how much time you have to put into this game it's either 25 minutes or 35 game days.
