Aces High General Discussion / Re: Is Aces High Worth Buying?

There are a lot of moving parts that can all go different directions.
The only true answers have to come from HT, and it's not going to be done on a bbs. The best way to find out is make him an offer on the phone or in person. Anything else is pure speculation, no matter who says it.
Can it be updated to say Unreal Engine? only HT could answer that. My assumption is yes....with work.
I think many of us learned the hard way with Air Warrior that selling to another gaming company could be almost certain death. OR they redo it to go a totally different direction.
5 million could be a decent price depending on future plans for it and are they marketable. of course 5m depends on when that price was made and how big the player base then and now.....either way the work is worth that.
NOW,.. to update it to say Unreal Engine,... and lets say everything goes smoothly,....depending on the level of updating,.... you're looking at 3-9 months of work with maybe 5 on the payroll. So that's is where your loss or gain begin.
Depending on how many players you draw, how soon can you break even on that 5-6m. Topped with is it enough to do a major update it at least every 5 years. It is some serious gamble, not for the weak-hearted. I will say, it seems most 3d engines are at a point where it's as good as they can get, I don't think there is much room left to update to, maybe up date it to the best engine and small updates along the way.... unless we go hologram.
Despite a few bugs I wouldn't notice unless someone mentioned them, you have a very solid game. Most of the things brought up on bbs is some nit picking by the same group <ducks from projectiles> that usually turns out to be just controlling human nature with wack-a-moe than bugs or bad design. Maps and skins are still be created/updated. The FM is very good.
Yep, we'd all love to see an update, and I think most agree an update would draw back much of the former base and new players.....again,... that's what we think,.. it's a gamble.
