Maybe if they do a good job on the app...we could outsource the entire game to them? Or atleast a massively improved version of it.....


Haha, wishful thinking ;)

I have a friend who is involved in some venture capital businesses, maybe I should ask him to invest in this game :D

I don´t think that buying out is what users should worry about, really.

I agree.
Only legit question is what kind development is planned for the site I guess. Regardless of how.


I guess there are no plans - just another decent idea, going nowhere...

As a facebook game I think that it would be dumb down and ruined on some level. The balance of this game is pretty good and you really have to be careful about making any major changes to it.

The mobile app idea is very good though and something i would pay for

As RiP already noted, indeed there were some discussions about this before.

I think there are some nice ideas here, but as you know development costs are high - always. You'll have to make a tradeoff between quality and costs, and without offending anyone - BB is a complicated system that unfortunately often requires some basic level of quality of which I don't know we can expect from some of the emerging SE-Asia economies at the pricelevel that would be correct.

What features would you suggest to be the core of an application? Of course, there may also be another option of the project trying to fund itself, by releasing a very basic version of the application that offers just the core essential functionalities and if this app could raise revenue through ads - or maybe even through a small price in the appstores, functionalities may be added later.

Seeing the numbers in this topic, though, I do think most underestimate the price of such applications. You cant expect much for the $3-5k you mentioned earlier, even if completely made and managed in India.
