Hi!, I'm wondering if there is any royalty to build and sell my games created with FPSC IP. Do we must to use his server or can I use my own servers? I will appreciate if someone knows this.

Thanks , Javier

Hi, the only FPSC IP charges are as follows:
- £9.99 for the FPSC IP app with one free game build code.
- £5.99 for one game build code.
You get unlimited test builds to test your games before final release as well.

There are no play-based charges for how many players you have or how much they play.

I provide one server running a choice of four databases to run your game off.
Alternatively you can sue a dedicated database for your game on my server, or you can run it off your own database on your server.

knxrb, Thanks for your quick answer. Let me be sure if I understood. After the purchase, If I provide to my clients with server to host the game, the database is included in the package? There is no code on your server needed to operate my business?. My concern is the long term engagement.For future games, we would need to access to your server to buy a code if we want to build new games? is that correct?.

Thanks, Javier

Haha, I hate typos >.<

The SQL files to make the database to run your game off are included in the downloadable archive.

Quote: "There is no code on your server needed to operate my business?."

Yes, there is. The player account logins are stored on a separate database on my server as one login let's you have access to all FPSC IP games.

Quote: "For future games, we would need to access to your server to buy a code if we want to build new games? is that correct?."

Yes, that's correct.

If you're worried about me suddenly disappearing, there's no need.
I've just bought another year of hosting for FPSC IP and the funds for the two years after that are in the account

I really must look very closely at this. It's on my radar, and 'blipping' ever more strongly. I'll head for the website and hope for an idiots guide (into which category I will most certainly fall)

Incidentally: is there a demo running anywhere?

Thanks for all the good work

I think that FPS IP is a great improvement. Another ongoing project is FPS PHP which from my own perception has a lot of more potential, but from my commercial experience, for sure they should offer an "Standalone License". Thinking big, I prefer to pay ten or twenty times the price if I don't have to depend of other people server or royalties. I know that FPS IP already get you linked to them for life, but I'd not be surprised if FPS PHP comes out with a standalone package (databases and more). FPS PHP developer knows that his project will open other industries eyes! (Corporate Training, Industrial Simulators...). Don't worry, they have the money to pay more. Thanks, Javier

He probably meant "ProjectPHP", although I don't think you can say, that it has more potential, than FPSC IP, since there hasn't been any videos, screenshots or demo videos of the application yet - right now it's nothing more than text promising a lot of stuff (I'm a sceptical person by nature - can't switch it off).

Cool, looks like it's going to be good.
Be interesting if it actually goes anywhere though...

It's progressing slowly as I've got to earn money from working for clients to live, but it's definitely progressing
