This being my final year I want to get it right! And looking at my idea, it has a lot of potential but it needs a lot of tweaking. At my quick presentation, my lecturers thought it was a great idea, original and tries to tackle an issue (the one I am writing about in my essay) but they also picked a lot of hole in it.
The two main issues being piracy and censorship. Censorship is a delicate issue that can be handled by maybe a word filter or maybe when you have submitted a card creation in the editor you have to wait for it to be checked before you can use it.
Piracy however is a bit more of a tricky foe. The main idea that comes to mind is making the whole game online? Have maybe a membership payment instead of paying for a deck? Perhaps have both online and offline?! This would more likely work actually, seems as not many people would want to buy a board game let alone play one these days. Maybe having the online option will not only help stop piracy but generate more of an interest in the game, in turn increasing the chance of someone purchasing the real version of the game with their personal decks and boards. PANIC OVER!
