Question Advice wanted!

Basically, I am contemplating starting a little internet business, and I really want to get some feedback on my idea and hopefully some advice, as well.

The project I am envisioning is an online version of the popular drinking game "Beer Pong" -- called "Virtual Beer Pong" -- incorporated into a website that will generate revenue through ads. In other words, I would create a virtual Beer Pong game that users would be able to play for free, and through the game generate enough traffic to profit from advertising.

There are currently two sites like this on the internet, but neither of them are fun or user friendly. I believe a site like this would really appeal to college and high school kids, and would hopefully be able to generate at least a modest amount of ad revenue.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks so much

Exclamation

Also, my game would be more elaborate and thus slightly different from the competitors.

If interested, you can view my entire, much more detailed game plan if you visit http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder...questId=579785, and then view the attachment in the bid request.

Thanks again for your help.

Firstly, you've posted 2 threads with the same content and bumped it unnecessarily in the space on 10 minutes - just to let you know, you can edit your posts once you have posted if you need to change something.

Moving on, you're designing a game. I'd firstly aim for customer/user satisfaction and market share rather than revenue from the start. If you create the website with the intention to make a quick buck or too, it's going to be nowhere near as good as if you create it with an honest intention to entertain people and give them an enjoyable experience.

Just my two cents!

if you can make the game fun/realistic then i think there are high school/college age kids that would use it. graphics have to be good and you've got to be good at making stuff like this. but i think if done properly it will do well.

Maybe you could change how the game plays depending on how many beers someone has had.
