It's an interesting game, and quite fun. But ... it's not (IMHO) a Twitter game. I've been plotting a real Twitter game recently with a friend, and I've been very disappointed by waht's out there. A lot of it is just excuses for spam, and even the "quality" stuff like fallenlondon is really only using Twitter as a spam-channel, not as part of the game - which I think is sad. @Jurie

No, I hadn’t – but thanks for that. It’s an interesting game, and quite fun.

After all, Daniel James @ Three Rings went away from Java and towards Flash because of the loss of users due to "click to install"... a very important factor for any browser game. Adam -

Have you seen any data on market penetration for Unity’s plugin? After all, Daniel James @ Three Rings went away from Java and towards Flash because of the loss of users due to “click to install”… a very important factor for any browser game.

Actually, we are currently evaluating to switch from Flash to Unity since Flash is just not powerful to render competitive, contemporary 3D-graphics. I have reiterated on your article at our development-blog at coobico.com -- I am making the point that your thoughts actually apply to *every* serious browser-game: with the advent of new browser-plug-ins like Unity and others, the bar for good-looking browser-game-graphics is raised dramatically. The more people playing such 3D-games, or using services like Gaikai and OnLive during he next years, the higher the expectation will be how a "good-looking" browser-game should look like. Cheers, Lutz Winter Hi Adam,

(God, I sound like spam.) Have you looked at www.fallenlondon.com? First "Twitter game" / pure HTML game I've played for more than 30 seconds or so. It's nice, and it uses the medium well IMO.
