@Hoppa61 Aight lemme brake it down for ya. This is not MTV first game . we have more than 20 games. If you want to do it that way first "real game" was WarClick , remember SumoRoll....

Technically MTV team  is not in debt  to anyone for creating the game they did it out of "their own" pockets. 

Definitely i agree they need to rethink how to proceed. Sure it doesn't have to be games it can be faucets ltc/btc/doge  are always lit and always have visitors redirecting those visitors to mtv/ptcs/pv shouldn't be hard. But agai nif you read the reddit post you would see this " And this is not over yet… We still intend to do promotional bursts throughout the year, while we begin work on a new game." also " we could probably shed off 40% of our overall development time for such a project now." 


So technically they could make another similar game for 35k or a another product  for 35k. So technically the game doesn't really have to break even to 70k it can get to 35k so we can make another  product to keep the ball rolling , eventually we  go to the moon.  


@bambarec I low key agree with you on dividends i think it could push the things in the right direction.... But it does makes a question how do you pay dividends if you owe money to people. Kinda goes against each other . 



But guys don't be discouraged we still have many successful products rolling and making money to the team and to us. 

I advise that all people that bought the game play it  for at least an hour per day or so. And if you cant play just build few houses some farms and pumps and let it run while you listen to music cleaning your house or what not.

If you are into the Hidden Object genre type of games like me, you probably noticed that many developers created their first game and later make changes in the game theme, the history, and graphics and launch their second, third, and sometimes more games. Earning their profit with the accumulation of successive launches and sales of power-ups. The effort they put into the first game, creating the backside of it does not have to be done again, just the front.

I think the devs will try something similar. There are many other stories to play into the civilization/city building type of games. I'm looking forward to seeing what they bring to life.

Remember ya'll, GameX Studios and MTV are separate companies.

Yes, Andraz is high up employed by both and yes MTV shares costs and reaps shared rewards from Games they develop.

Otherwise they are separate, thus "spend time on PV" as an idea is not feasible, unless you truly have a new idea that almost guarantees profit. We don't want to spend time building something aka Targeted Ads, and then it hardly gets use. Hopefully, in the future, we can get the traffic to get the advertisers to use that option, but for now, that's just money we could have used to pay off some of the FTQ or something truly profitable.

If one of/more than one of GameX Games can give us solid revenue, then we can use some of that to try and improve PV, but right now we just want to work on staying sustainable and not going into debt (further).

As far as Dividends it takes a lot to be noticeable.
If my math is right if we shared $5K, and I had 2.5MIL RP at the time, I'd get $25. While, if that was weekly, it would start to add up. That's with owning 2.5% of the total amount of RP. Most don't even have .25%, and thus they'd see $2.5 or less. Might as well turn that type of profit into paying off the FTQ and then trying to turn that into other products/improvements, so profit shared is bigger.

@bombarec

You bring it to the point.

More attention for PaidVerts and MTV by the admins please. These are the most important things to get members interested.

One thing I am kind of missing with MTV at this point in time and what attracted me to it in the first place was the crowdfunding aspect itself. I know that we have debt from this and I know that everyone is focused on paying that off right now, however I don't think that debt itself is a bad thing, I think the problems come when it is unclear what the risks/numbers and expectations are in regards to the products success and then the debt that is taken on can't be repaid because of bad planning!

What I would suggest is to allow users to invest in projects again with realistic returns. I know Marc has talked about some ideas regarding real estate. Maybe this could give investors an opportunity to invest as many investors don't have the capital to buy a piece of real estate themselves but maybe a REIT type of business might be an idea?

As far as the crowdfunding goes, we could also do smaller products that return steady returns each month and just stack these products. There is no need to do a $50k project, we could just start with $5k projects and focus on those being profitable. Remember that with PPMG, we just pretty much took what we already had and just launched it in a niche market and it just worked.

As far as the game goes I would like to say this: the development team truly has put a lot of time in this and I don't think that this time was wasted in any way. Like I heard a marketer say once: "The money is in the list". They have generated a customer base already that any new games could be marketed to, they also have a lot of code that can probably be reused and modified and a new game could probably developed way easier now.

@Hoppa Indeed it doesn't mean a new product would have to be a game, but due to a ton of reasons it likely will make the most sense for that to be the case:
1) Up to a big degree my and Marc's hands are tied when it comes to paving the road for building certain, bigger projects under MTV, for reasons we hinted at/tried to shed some more light on in the past year. And right now, we can get around some of that for close to zero cost/complications by our office working on games, which we have full control over, and can share the revenues with MTV. Any “more complicated projects” would bring a lot of legal/accounting complications, and with that costs.
2) We don't have the budget to keep our system admin and main MTV programmer full time, who have experience and are efficient in working on more complex projects. And even if we did (i.e. via project funding) – that most often is blocked by reason 1). In fact, having anyone of that caliber full time, or even hiring them for a project, becomes really expensive very quickly. Quality is expensive, and is needed for most bigger projects. And before someone suggests “hire cheap freelancers” - you get what you pay for in that case, and pay extra with the project upkeep, security risks etc. later on.
3) Our Slovenian team, has been focusing mostly on frontend/games, and this goes beyond development experience – market research, building a community, connections, optimizing marketing, networking... And one thing that most successfull game dev teams have in common, is years of trying, experience, optimizing the development and release process. It requires a large set of skills and experience to get right, and that takes a few projects. But once you do optimize this process, the security/profitability increases significantly, and also opens you up to growth and the chance of “making a killer project”.

Switching our focus now would make no sense, and there's just 2 decisions left when it comes to utilizing our team: a) Stop doing anything at all for MTV or b) Keep optimizing the process, releasing new & better games and marketing them better, all while the long tail of previous games keeps building up, covering all upkeep costs, and that's when we reach profitability and can only go up, and provide a consistent & growing stream of revenue for MTV.

We have no reason to keep collaborating with MTV if the games we are making are not becoming more profitable. We'd be much better off freelancing elsewhere. But we realize this is a process, and one once it comes to fruition will benefit us and mtv. And that is the goal, and we're now closer than ever. And my very personal interest/priority is helping get the FTQ paid off ASAP, and with this we have full control over, which is something we can not say about other potential projects we could go for. No 3rd party risks, delays, messing stuff up.

I much rather see us working on something with MTV that has potential to grow the revenues in the near future, and if/once we get it right it can help speed up the process of paying FTQ, than staying stagnant because of reason 1) , without many other options to build something else that would have that same benefit.

That said, if we finalize the decisions to make a new game, we are currently discussing some ways to make it more secure & faster to repay MTV's investment, while at the same time making it safer & less stressfull on our end, helping us to plan and optimize the process better. If there is interest, we could consider helping fund the next game(s) with project funding as well – reducing both risk on MTV, while giving the members another meaningfull project to invest into again.

And @rayden is absolutely right. The links I've provided in the news already touch on some of the core reasons why we could optimize the process a lot, but I'll elaborate on this and share it here with a much bigger writeup of reasons & explanations.

@druth8x  GameX Studios and MTV  are made by same team and ran by same team. For me they are the same.


I don't see where you got that we should improve PV . That thing generated more money than almost anything else on here. Don't fix it if it isn't broken. 

MTV Should focus on building new projects , be it a game or a faucet or anything else .

For the dividends you first have to earn 5k per week that could go to 
dividends, that's the main thing .


I definitely agree with Freak300  we need to start crowdfunding projects . I see why the first game  had to be done the way it was done. But everything else  that has to come can be done through crowdfunding no matter game/faucet/ trading spree .maybe 

@Slosumo Good job answering in depth and straight to the point . Keep up the way you are responding to us it gives a certain calming effect. 

Where i s marc by the way ? Crying in a corner angel

It was a long time ago i seen so many (recycle) ads on ptcshare. its something i have always liked a lot about PV and ptcshare to come and have something to click . I have missed that!

Hopefully we will see this more in the future and hopefully on pv as well.

About SEO, that is always great idea, but, there is always but. Due to heavy abuses in google adsense and similar keyword searches, modern bbrowsers do not go on keywordsearch anymore as much.....

With that said you can setup them in the script/project (head part) with: 
left arrowmeta name="keywords" content="bla blass, blabla, etc"right arrow;

But not sure that would have much effect. Just saying what some programmers said.I am sure there are some other ways to optimize, but even youtube states that keyword type aint thing with much effect so in my videos I do not setup keywords much. They search probably from the title and content itself.

My humble opinion? Write several reviews on several forums or places. I know they say that articles and forums aint the thing anymore, butthey saying that for social networks also. That cant be truth, because you still need to go to some forum to search some info, for sure not on "TIK TOK" if you know what i mean. That would make best backlinking and more searchesto stated product (mtv., pv etc etc) and link it to here, there or whatever you link in those topics.

@jordy Yes. Our Search engine visibility is increasing steadily, and we've now got good fundamentals setup to keep improving on it and start seeing more significant jumps in organic traffic in the following months. It hasn't yet had a direct impact on revenues, but we weren't expecting it to have this quickly, as we need significant organic traffic increase for that to pick up - which is the plan for the following 3-6 months, which we just concluded/agreed toin the past week.

I'll try to write up a quick update on that and what we're aiming for.

thnx for the information slosumo as indeed i cant see on the latest bets and cashouts that its actually working verry well. I also believe it isnt the easiest period to get people playing when the btc price is jumping from all time high and crash 25%+ within a week again.
To be honest in my opinion with btc we are kinda missing the boat a bit for the smaller players that want to play the same games for tiny amounts.

I have been thinking a bit about it and what i see a lot is that casinos offer more different kind of currencies. It wouldnt maybe not bad to also add ltc and dogecoin as a deposit and bet option on PBG.

I will be honest that i am not a member of those casinos and that i stopped a long time ago playing the games in ptcshare and paidverts because i have lost everything to often =) But i must say that i am still kinda missing it to be able to play so i was thinking if it would be smart to add on PBG and PPMG the option to open a FREE DEMO ACCOUNT. Make sure they can claim a Free X amount every single day so they can come back everyday. ( you can even add the option to purchase credits for a  small amount of money )
Traffic + activity will eventually result in more sales as well. 

There is things SEO team can do but adding more of those options would be the thing we can do from our side to make this site a huge success in the near future.

@jordy Those are "step 2" options, as to do any/several of those things properly it would require realistically at least 10-30$k dev funds to make happen, and by itself not change much in revenues.

With trying to make our overall business profitable ASAP, our goal is right now on minimizing costs for most potential profit. And improving SEO for PBG is definitely at the top of that. Once we can see SEO starting to catch on and get us significant more traffic, at that point it would make the most sense to consider any major overhauls and additional investments to the website.

Thanks Jordy. We're looking into this. Seems a similar issue as with LTC cashouts issue on PV the other day, seems we missed updating that there as well.
