Remember, it's not for you.
Who is it for? A dude who wants to be a... um... a pink brontosaurus with an eye for a head.

I'm guessing this will be some sort of minigame aggregator, cutesy avatars in shared spaces, voicechat everywhere, and chock full of web 2.0/myspace community features like videos, photos, lists of favorite bands, etc. The product itself will be more of a light frontend for easy integration and extension than an actual game in of itself. The games will be firstparty to start off, and then (they hope) third party as time passes and they transition more into benevolent publishers than developers. And all the content and the framework itself will be downloadable and when possible streamed live, with no box in stores. Oh, and ESRB rated "T" for teen.
Anyone beat that raphtopian fantasy?

Pretty much what I was thinking, but described much better and more accurately than I ever could have. I was actually thinking something more preteen/teen oriented, that allowed them to create their own little virtual worlds and invite their friends to play in. Edit: I forget words sometimes....

Ah so Raph has finally realized that beardy articles about fun and actually creating fun have nothing in common then?

I would add "high score" to that, but lots of different ones.
If you don't focus your eyes fast enough, it looks like Meatplace.
Kongregate makes me think it should be an aggregation of enormous gorillas, possibly a katamari composed of apes.

Really, any of the KDE apps are poorly named. KPalmDoc? KHexEdit? Kdict? Blech.

Oh yeah, and achievements. It'll have tons of XBL-like achievements and scores to compete with your friends, that can only be gained by purchasing additional games through not-so-microtransactions by spending raphbucks. Each raphbuck will cost US$0.3744, with minor discounts in packs of R$100.

Wait. This is Gaia Online for Adults?
Raph. You leave me questioning what's happening here. Insight plz. Because, really, that Crunch 40 or whatever the hell it is just looks like a bunch of PR spinning VC Thieves.

I want to be a pink dinosaur with an eye for a head...but in real life. Not in some weird game. Thing. Weird game-thing.

Raph, that's two people who want me to be Raptor Jesus.
Neither of them had any part of SW:G.
It's obviously in your best interest to get me a Raptor Jesus model for the "game."
I know you can do this. You know you should do this.
Do the right thing, Raph.

As long as your game has not been influenced by your children (like George Lucas when he adopted them and screwed up ep 1-3 because of it) you should do fine. Looking forward to hearing about what has excited you for so long.
And yeah I third the RFJ for schild as long as it's not a "ALPHA" class.
