I keep seeing people asking about commercially released games in FPSC, so I thought I would make a list of them. This also isn’t intended as an attack against anybody, just my general observations.

Operation Ex-Tempora

One of the first commercial releases as it was released in March 2006. The game however used all stock media and as it was made in V1.0 of FPSC, it takes a very long time to load. It’s freeware now though, see the December 2007 newsletter.

Stumgart, C.R.T and Outbreak.

I had seen the cover of these two, but not bothered to take a look until Butter Fingers mentioned they were made in FPSC. These seem to use only stock media, but as I’ve seen them for sale all over the place, I assume they have sold quite well.

The Commander Josh Chronicles

Although a lot of effort went into this game, for some reason it still seemed too FPSC looking for my tastes and something about the water pistol type gun and the bright colours also put me off from buying this one.


Anderson & The Legacy of Cthulhu

This had a lot of potential and I’m quite fond of Lovecraft, but despite the great screenshots on the thread, it again seemed to use too much stock media and I also think it was far to easy to set it in WW2, rather than in the 1930’s or before!

E.L.E.
This looks like the best of the Commercial releases, it looks like they have made most of their own media and brought some new things to FPSC too. This is the one to look out for.

The Hunt for Osama

See Conjured Entertainment's message below.

Well that’s all I can think of at the moment, I’m sure there is more that I have forgotten. Certainly things like Eldora have the potential to be a good commercial game. Also to people who think FPSC isn’t good enough for a commercial release, check out the awful Dracula: The Days of Gore that was released last year. This FPS makes FPSC games look like the next Half-life! What we have here is a good engine; it just takes some real imagination to make a unique and interesting game.

Nice list and something to think about for sure.

And time. Even though FPSC dramatically shortens the development cycle, it has limitations. That, coupled with the fact that it is normally used by a one man team, means that any quality results will take nearly the same time taken by a team with a high-dollar engine in order to produce a quality title.

Best.

Yes, I guess that's why a lot of people forget about the first FPSC commercial release.
They think because it was so short (only 5 levels) that is is not a full game.
I got news for them; there are a lot of games out there with only less level.
Whether it lived up to the expectaions of others doesn't matter to me.
The fact is that it was the first commercial release of an FPSC game because it is the first one that was for sale to the public.
(The first copy sold was on Thursday, Jan 5, 2006 at 3:12 am)
I find it funny though that no matter how many years go by, it is always left off of everyone's list of FPSC commercial releases.
Maybe it is the fact that I marketed and distributed the game myself instead of a commercial retailer that makes them not count it.
That doesn't matter to me though, it still was and still is a commercial release, because my business is as valid as theirs.
No, its not in wal-mart, but it is available to the public for purchase, and that with a little advertising makes a commercial release.

The point is that it does take time to make a good game,even when the editor is the easiest to use.
That is why I am taking my time on my other FPSC projects, and the fact that more and more updates bring better features.
Get ready for one more to be added to the list, because now that v1.08 has head shots, a new release is coming. (after Beta stage)
I have been waiting for these headshots a long time, and now I can get busy with FPSC since this improvement make the engine more viable in a commercial market.
Once LEE gets the variables in, then Conjured Entertainment will be releasing at least two if not four FPSC games (commercial titles) per year.

Xplosys, I think the key is to avoid too much stock media.

I've not seen another list like this, it's why I did one!

While I agree with what you are saying Conjured Entertainment, the people asking about commercial games often mean those picked up by a developer, or for sale in the shops or that get reviewed on sites outside of the FPSC world. Still by doing it yourself you are sure to get a better deal!!
Anyway, this list isn't a final one and we can keep adding to it, I've seen a few sites now where people are selling their games, I'll have to find them all and update the list or other people can do so.

THE HUNT FOR OSAMA has now been added.

You can take mine off too, since 'the people' don't think it fits the definition of a 'commercial release'.
I don't want it advertised here anyway because it's political. (that is why I didn't say the name, I know the old thread is still here but its dead)
I was just pointing out how 'the people' think less of the little guys.

Yeah, I plan to get the word out before my next release.
Pre-release advertising is crucial for your game's success.
That way you get the word spreading before any negative reviews have been made, because just one of those can kill it before it gets a chance to take off. (competitors>1)

There is nothing wrong with the stock media and it is quite good.It is just after seeing it all this time we are not as amazed.
If we knew nothing about FPSC the stock media would be cool.

Yes you are right, it's just if you also want to sell it to people within these forums, it's good to show them something different.

Thanks for the videos AlanC, informing people is what this thread should be about.

Quote: "You seem to be a little negative Conjured Entertainment."

If I disagree, then I prove your point. Good one

So, instead I will be positive and say "you're right, I do 'seem' a bit negative".
But then, the 'seem' is someone else's perception of my feelings, rather than my true feelings.
So...No, I am not trying to be negative.


Quote: "If you really want me to remove yours let me know."

Yes, please. My post here was stating my observation, so I am sorry you mistook it for a request to add it to the list. (my fault I should have been clear on that)
Having it listed along with pornographic titles is another reason for me to want it down other than the ones I already mentioned.

I never said anything was okay to post or not.Since apparantly I am making the decision then I am editing this thread to remove anything about any adult subject matter and wish for everyone to refrain bringing it up again.
If you want to discuss adult games you'll have to do elsewhere.

Wow, we're these on the shelves? Then they made it all the way. That Dracula: The Days of Gore did look like a Half-Life.

I can't seem to find E.L.E. anywhere. Anyone know where I can buy it? And in English? lol.

Well done Fallen One, I assumed as you has visited this thread Fredp and not mentioned it that it wasn't a problem, especially as it's got a whole thread on the German boards. It's strange you can't even mention it's title. It's also a shame about E.L.E. this looked like one of the best of the up and coming commercial releases.......

Actually can you lock this thread, because as usual this has turn sour. This was just meant to be on-going information, but I can't see any point in updating it!!
