Hello.
I am a soccer fan, as many of other people. From a long time ago, I play the Sensible World of Soccer, wich was an amazing old Game.
I was looking to find someone interested in developing a game, based on ZIO Soft, Inc. FIFA 2002, with the abilities of Sensible World of Soccer.
Anyone around here finds this Idea Interesting?
Thank you, and I hope I didnt put this in the wrong place.
im in 11th grade and want to read an interesting book to expand my mind. I normally don't read.EVER.. but since I have gotten my xoom I wanna give it a chance. I wanna read a good book. not some boring book I would usually read in school for example lord of the flies..boring. someone suggest a book I might like and enjoy. I tend to like horror,comedy, and adventure stories
What reader program are you using? Kindle, Nook, Google. Aldiko? Some access thousands of free books, most published before 1923 (a lot of great books, but maybe not what you're looking for) so if you go for new books through Nook and Kindle for example, you'll have to buy them. My daughter has been tearing through Ellen Hopkins books (Crank, Identical, Burn) but they seem a bit depressing to me, and maybe more appealing to girls (who seem to love drama, lol). If you like horror, you might like H. P. Lovecraft--available for free.
i was gonna use Google books. I've never really been into books that much because all the books we read in school are extremely boring. I wanna find a book that has mystery and suspense..something that will make me wanna actually read more of it instead of just putting the book down.
I am Legend by Richard Matheson is fantastic, and it's a fairly short book (and quite different from the movie in ways that make you care about the protagonist a million times more). That should be a good introduction. After that, it helps to know what interests you. Science fiction? Fantasy? It seems you probably want some form of fiction to begin with, anyway.
Definitely check out I am Legend.
Or perhaps Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. It's a series of short stories and, in all likelihood, you'll enjoy his writing style and that will encourage you to check out his other books (I recommend Neverwhere).
Black Man by Richard Morgan is a thriller set in the near future that you may like. Quite a bit of mystery, if I recall and it's a good read.
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman is also excellent; another sci-fi book.
[edit]
Some advice... when looking for books, I always try and read the first chapter to see if I take an instant liking to it. This helps a great deal in finding books that I want to finish. Usually, bookshops have seating areas for reading, but it's even easier with ebooks - as I understand, Google provide extracts or the first chapter before you buy. Try before you buy.
Horror: Dan Simmons - Summer of Night - fun and creepy
Horror: Dean Koontz - Watchers - fast moving & especially great if you love dogs
Sci-fi : Orson Scott Card - Enders Game - a classic
1984 is a pretty good book
My favorite book in the last decade has been ""A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.
It's informative and funny.
Try it out, you'll be glad you did.
Also +1 for Ender's Game
If you have seen and enjoyed the movie Fight Club, check out Chuck Palahniuk's other books. They usually have you saying 'WTF' until the very end.
If you like the twilight movies try the twilight series. Or the Harry Potter series as I'm sure many people can tell you the books normally are better then the movies.

Well, my 2 cents.
I think nobody should die without having read To Kill a Mockingbird from Harper Lee. It's one of the best books I have ever read, although being somehow old (60's or something).
I have read tons of books, and have loved almost all of them. I don't know. Some come fast to my mind: 1984, Christine (I love this one, as I do love cars), Jurassic Park, etc.
I enjoy books from Dean R Koontz (Horror), Michael Crichton (all kind), Robin Cook (medical related), Ken Follet, Stephen King, etc.
I really hope you find something interesting to read.
Regards.

Moneyball by Michael Lewis is definitely my recommendation!
It starts from baseball but larger than baseball.
I got a quick review and link is here.

Everyone so far has had great suggestions. Any of those books would be a great start. Another sci-fi book I've enjoyed (and is much better than the movie) is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Hi, this is my first post on this forum, so hello everybody. :d
I'm currently working on my bachelor thesis titled "Which Android game is most profitable?". I split Android games in two groups, easy to learn and play action or logic games (A-type), and harder to learn managers, tycoons and such (B-type). In the first group, I distinguished Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Where's my Water?, Granny Smith, Fruit Ninja and Ski Safari. In the second, Star Traders Elite, Templar Assault RPG Elite, Cyber Knights Elite, New Star Soccer and Rebuild.
The point of the paper is to compare the sales data (two first months) to see how the popularity and income shaped. The problem is with colecting the acctual data. Contacting with developers succeded with two games, but brought no result with other. I tried to estimate the sales using wayback machine, but the results were very limited. I also tried to use Google Trends to show the popularity, but B-type games were mostly not indexed.
So here's my question to you: do you have any ideas where I could get the achived data of popularity/ income of the games mentioned? Or maybe you developed a game that matches the description and would share the sales data from 2 first months? I'd be very grateful for any help, as the core of my paper is the data I don't seem to be able to get.
Hi! I've recently been to Pocket Gamer Connects conference in London and asked around about (a marketing failure of) my indie game. I got some great insight and advice that I'd like to share with you. Hopefully it helps someone.

TL;DR: Don't mimic what big publishers and studios do or you will loose. There are advantages being an indie - use them. Watch Marketing sucks.
What do you think? What would you add to that?
Hello everybody!
I have just released my second game on Google Play, called Flying Ninja. I Saw all the Flappy Bird style games, and I thought it would be cool to make a similar game, but with our own character - a very agile Ninja.
That's how Flying Ninja was born. You just have to jump over the pillars. It's easy to pick up and learn and has Achievements and Leaderboards incorporated.
I would be honored if you could take a glance at it.
You can find the app by accessing the following LINK:

Have a nice day and good luck to everyone here !
