'host this game' button?

[colej_uk]

Hi,

I'm currently negotiating a sponsorship deal for one of my games, and a bidder wants a 'host this game' button. What does that mean exactly? And is it possible in mmf?

I am not sure what that means?

If I was guessing.... Does the sponsor what a method where a person can embed the game on their own website?

I think more information is needed from the sponsor -- You can easily add a "Host this game" button but the problem comes on what does he want to happen when a player clicks it

That's what I think it means. I've emailed them to check, just wanted to know if it's a common thing in the flash game world or not.

A text field with html code to copy and paste is what they want. There are a few games and sites that do it. Just look at those for an example.

i would guess he just wants that button to go to an URL, then there will be a site where you can download the .swf or a .zip package with some information about the game etc.
any way to get more traffic to the sponsors site is appreciated, f.ex including video walk-through of your game on their site (with a link from your game of course) is an excellent way to generate traffic
in addition to the regular "play more games" button, i also like to have icons pointing directly to specific games, they tend to get clicked more often.

Ah ok, that's easily do-able then thanks for the info folks.

Thats some nice games! I would encourige you to make a good deal out of it.

p.s. did you ever consider publishing the games on gaming portals? You could license them for 500/800 or more euros each per gaming portal, or do a Revenue Share split. I think yours should easly go for 800 per portal. Those guys earn it back in a matter of days if the game performs well.
