340 per second ?
Poor web hosts. Stunning number >.<
I'm curious how so many people found out about it. I mean yes IGF but it seems like word really got around.
Oh, you didn't guess? :) minijuegos
About mochi-ads, i'm not sure...yes, that brings money, but... ads inside a game don't look too good, i guess... but it's just me and my "flash game = has to look good" philosophy, hahaha
waited 10min. for loading (still not done) to long imo. will try again tomorrow
yep, fortunately the 3rd and new server will be done in around 3 hours, so i guess the speed will DRAMATICALLY increase. I also tried to test the game myself, but got stuck that long too (the main file is "only" 1,7mb)
this is perfection marmotte.... i am very impressed
and flippin addicted.... damn you -_-
Very very nice, I don't think I found anything with this demo that you could have done but didn't...I just wish it loaded faster...
Really really nice... some added gameplay with the "bomb" items (not too good at using them)... also I think in the original you could rotate the blobs vertical.
*real reason for post* Anyone know how to beat puzzle mode 3-5?
I... I do... :pQuote:

I'd just like to point out. On your site, it says:
But "What is Bubble Islands?!" is on the right ;)Quote:
You can read more about the v1.0 to the left, "What is Bubble Islands?!"
Another thing, I'll have to talk to my partner about it first, but I think we may be able to help you out if you need a mirror for your site. I haven't been able to play because none of the modes are loading for me. It gets past the initial loading and then the games just stop loading at nil.
PM me if you're interested. I would love to help promote such a great game.
rofl,- I now preloaded about 1 hour and at some time I head some sounds but as soon as I switched back to the browser looking for your game it started loading again,- this really is frustrating. All other websites are working propper but for some reason your webspace seems to be uber slow here.
Will try it a last time next week in the university... but nice sounds so far :P
OMG, hahaha, that's the kind of result you get when you do a site in 1 day because you are in a hurry :) I'll fix that ASAPQuote:

4th server?
You must really be having second thoughts about those MochiAds by now. :)
Yeah no offence marmotte but that is pretty dappy if you're not making any money from the game. Ads don't bother people 'that' much, and it's not like they're not paying to play here. It sucks if there's people all around the world profiting from it but not you. Come on matey, you put the work in, now put aside your philosophy (save it for Silent Hill) and step up and reap something from it. 340 hits a second?? Whaaaaat?. You're insane.
just wait till the servers finally can take the strain and then someone diggs it. digg.com is notorious for destroying bandwidth... can someone inform me a little of what mochiads are exactly?
ChaseNYC, MochiAds is a scheme whereby you place a script in your game to load in an advert, and Mochibot will load adverts into it from various sponsors. Every time the advert's viewed, you get slightly richer. :)
Please, marmotte, if you don't do this, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Take down the game, and put it up again with adverts, it'll take minutes (or days, depending on whether or not your registration has to be processed). People aren't able to load the game as it is, nobody's gonna notice if it's off the server(s) for a few hours. :)
somehow i don't think you can convince him... the amount of time he put into it, the amount of polishing... definitely a perfectionist, also might not look so good in terms of IGF stuff...
advertisements that can´t be blocked with adblock because they are deeply embedded within the flash movie itself. The idea is to earn the money even if you dont host the movie on your own server (counts esspecially for the ones you didn´t even upload yourself ;) [hint: grabbing swf, stealing movies )
He could also use it to offer plenty of money to an NGO. It would look even nicer ^^Quote:

:p
Wait, i already saw mochi-added games, but... really, you don't need to click those? Just view them and it counts as a "standard banner click"?Quote:

As far as I understand it. :) Why else would they have Terms & Conditions that state that you mustn't obscure the advert (maybe so that you couldn't make people accidentally click on it, but that's unlikely)?
*marmotte thinking twice and even more*
*marmotte opens his mochi-ad account, fill some infos, and...*
...and marmotte is richer than Bill Gates.
Yes most of them are per view although some are per click. You get about $100 per 200,000 views. Thats over $14,000 a day for you ;).
Ali
Holy carp (mis-spelling intended for comedic purposes)!
Big break alert!
Well, actually you need to click (maybe not all ads though?).
In the accounts, there's a "page impressions" and a "eCPM".
I tried to launch the game myself, it's showing "page impressions: 1" and "eCPM:0". The ad was a Firefox ad, and you had to click it (mouse = hand)
mmhh...
^ and if that kind of amount was involved daily, DAMN, i should be able to work all day on that game, pay the people that are helping me and... take some holidays
Allilm says that some of them are pay per view, though. Don't give up hope! :D
after reading a bit about MochiAds, I think you might be still in review status, which means you will be served not-for-profit ads (hence the eCPM of 0), until you go live properly.

Yes, some are per click, but it still comes to roughly $100 per 200k hits. You dont get any money until mochi ads has checked your game. Make sure the game profile is complete first or they wont check it (that includes a thumbnail). Once thats done it shouldnt take long for you to be getting rich.

[EDIT]
Oh, and seeing as I recommended you.. I think I deserve 10%, don't you? ;) just kidding. I just hope you don't crash mochi ads or something :p
ROFLQuote:

Or wait, i think you are right allim
(but i still don't like ads)
[/EDIT]
Who knows, maybe i'll finally be able to enjoy my Xbox 360 a bit? Finally... :p
lol @ crashing mochi ads...
argh I wanna play bubble island again... if it ever loads i'm never closing the window or restarting my comp again.
*cough* hook up FKit forum members with a downloadable version! then less bandwidth for you! *cough*
Yea the firefox ad will just be a free ad until they have varified your game. Lol well you wont get rich from 30 impressions :( better hope it goes up again :p
Ali
Well, i noticed that there's a crazy traffic during specified hours; so far the next 10 hours will be really quiet (minijuegos players are sleeping at this time ;) ). And the sunday, i'm not sure...
ChaseNYC, is the game still loading slow? crappy attempt to make you load the mochi-ad
Marmote your webserver still seems to be crawling along (all assets loading slow, not just the game).
And to help give you a traffic boost just gave your site the thumbs up and wrote a little review on stumbleUpon.com.

Uhm, regarding the Mochiads: maybe you guys need to consider that Mochiads' advertisers don't have unlimited budgets. If paying ads run out you won't receive any more money. (at least that has been the case in recent months, while they are still in beta)
I hope you won't insert the ads Marmotte, as that would probably mean that almost all paying ads will go to your game, and hardly any will be left for mine. ;)
Mochiads have been awesome for me though, highly recommended for all developers.
someone like Marmotte having a massively successful game which used MochiAds, would only strengthen MochiAds sales team, meaning more sweet, sweet money for all in the future :)
