Hey Zap Results

Well we have been trying an experiment with the HeyZap API vs the Mochi API. The results are in and well we are getting far less hits on the HeyZap version the average has dwindled far below expectations. For future releases of Trivia Warrior and possibly the engine we may go back to using Mochi as its network and APIs seem to be larger and more consistent.

Changing back to this blog.

I've decided to move all the Trivia Warrior data back to this blog and away from GameInvite.me I may have future plans for the domain but for now I'd like this project to have a separate little home away from everything else.

Trivia Warrior 1.5

Decided to change a few things up in this release.  I have the replaced the MochiGames integration with HeyZap. Due to this change your scores from the Mochi version will not carry over. If feedback if this release goes well all future changes will most likely include the HeyZap features.

Trivia Warrior moving to Game Invite

As of today Trivia Warrior is now under the Game Invite network.




Game Invite is a independent game development studio and eCard website for gamers. For any info on Game Invite or Trivia Warrior check out their site at www.GameInvite.me and this blog.

Trivia Warrior has been upgraded to latest Mochi API, expect a reset of scores in the near future.

Here is a preview of the next Trivia Warrior release.

Kongregate/MochiGames Exposure

Here is what I've learned from the few days Trivia Warrior has been on Kongregate.

The game has been a played a lot more, this shocks me as MochiGames distributes to several game networks, yet none of them were Kongregate, Armor Games, Newgrounds, etc.

The game on Kongregate(after a few days) profits have almost caught up with the MochiGames profit(a few months). The amount of game plays also reflects this. Kongregate plays up near 800 as of this posting.

From this I believe that even though MochiGames has a huge distribution network, it seems more people come to Kongregate to play. I am curious if this is due to the Awards/Medals/Achievements and chat interface that surround the game. This makes the experience similar to that of a Xbox Live complete with Avatars and seeing what games your friends are playing.

On the other hand I am currently using MochiGames API for Ads and Leaderboards. So for running a game off Kongregate, MochiGames would perhaps be better as the the minor game portals provide no revenue to the developer. MochiGames portal page does list the leaderboard and integration with Facebook.

For now I will be upgrading the current game to Mochi API 3.7 and investigating the Kong API in more depth. Feel free to comment on this post or contact me directly, I am active in both portals.

Published on Kongregate

Just uploaded the latest TW to Kongregate. It is not using any of the Kong API yet but I will get that integrated in soon.
