On-line games

[Spex]

Has anyone ever built a basic game site?

What’s the best way to get some basic games built for a site or are there places out there where you can simply license some games and place them on your site?

My target market would be kids, but I don’t have the money to compete with the major players out there, so something on the simple side is what I’m looking for.

Thanks

I bought the game theme from http://wparcade.com and use http://mochimedia.com for games. Theme supports games from Mochimedia, Flash Game Distribution, Playtomic, Kongregate, FreeOnlineGames - FGFYW, SpilGames and Scirra Arcade (HTML 5 Games).

Sign up as an affiliate for Mochi Media and you make money every time someone plays the game. https://www.mochimedia.com/publishers/index.html

Thanks SilentG, I have a look at these.

How's the traffic/earnings for .ca game sites?

You can send a PM if you'd prefer

I've given the game site a try but it's not project for limited budgets. The easiest way to succeed is by having unique games, which is rather expensive. I had about 20,000 games at one point but was never able to acquire the necessary traffic to sustain long term operations. I might actually still have some of those games on one of my hard drives. I'll take a look and see if I can forward you them. Good luck!

Edit: Shoot me a pm so I don't forget.

We used myarcadeplugin dot com and installed it on Maj dot com which has natural traffic. There are 37,000 games of which about 1,200 are currently live. Time spent on gameplay has increased about 30% over the past month since launch.

See my sig.
