Created a "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" YouTube gameshow, looking for feedback - General

Took about a week to create the template. The rules are nearly identical to Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, only instead of winning money, you win in-game cash shop items. Depending on how well this is received, I may do it for other games as well (GTA, Total War, etc.) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpM26NyEyy4[/media] Yes, people actually can and do win $25 skins in this. (skip to 2:40 for the start of the game) Feedback is appreciated! Edit: Newest iteration of the design. [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/28mpt.jpg[/img]

I'd be down to see more conversation maybe, a little more get-to-know bits or something, but I really didn't think that was bad at all. There's plenty of space to grow with this too. I don't play league, so none of this really was really relevant, but if you expand on other game trivia this could turn out even better.

Only complaint is that it got significantly easier the higher up it went. Like, who won S1? That shit was plastered for the client for half a year. That innervating locket question should've been up higher, as well. Other than that, try to throw in some personality in there, crack a related joke on w/e subject you're rocking. Maybe if you're editing/using the program yourself, try to mimic You-Dont-Know-Jack's game modes for random levels. I know you were going with a millionaire vibe, but that'll only garner so much entertainment. I'm not sure what program you used (i did skip to 2:40 like you said to), but if you could throw in buzzers, and have TWO players fight against each other, that'd be neato as well. A video game-show based on video game, game shows!

Today I learned right answers seem hella weird without applause

As for the declining difficulty, I hear you. I will change that for sure in future games. 2. Adding more personality, joking and screwing with the contestant, I can do that as well. 3. I have never played You Don't Know Jack, so I will look into it. Having two players compete most definitely raises the stakes, but will require some deliberation on my part for its implementation. I'm definitely looking into ways to make it a more visually and audibly entertaining game to observe, and I will pull ideas from various sources to make it happen. I personally really enjoy the "Millionaire" format, because its familiar, and has kick ass music, but if there is a more entertaining game-show format I am not opposed (the entire show is made in PowerPoint by the way). @blacksam 1. You pretty much hit the same personality point as FreeHat. Consider it done. 2. Glad you enjoy the idea of using it as a spring-board for other projects! Questions for you guys (and everyone else) How would you feel about an intro movie before each video, introducing the contestant, the mechanics, and generally hyping up what they're about to watch? How would you feel about an audience track in the background? Clapping, cheering, etc? How is the pacing? Does it get boring or stale? How about filling up those black bars around the video with banners, links, and other visual stimuli? [B]How do you feel about the quality of the game show program itself as far as visuals and audio are concerned?[/b] Again, thank you for your feedback!

You should try streaming this sometime. Would be interesting if during a "which skin doesn't exist" type of question, you actually showed 3 skins that are in the game and one artwork that looks like it's really in the game.

You should rework the thumbnail, Garen's pretty out of place considering that's a really old picture of him and it's his stock skin, which kind of clashes with the promise of winning skins.

Do the people actually win a skin? You should show what skin they won at the end. Also the money amount for each tier of question doesn't make any sense in terms of league of legends, you Should change it to RP amount. You could also do other things as lower options like Icons or wards.

I like the idea of changing the point amount to RP, I only refrained from doing that originally because people would think they actually win the RP amount listed, which isn't the case. They can only win skins as of right now.

I would change the cash rewards to maybe like throwaway skins? Say if you do a CS:GO who wants to be a millionaire, just give away .02-1 dollar skins or something up till the final question, then if they win the final question they get a $25 skin. With the name of each skin being on the "money tree", for each question. It would be cool to see them receiving the skin at the end as well.

Update: Still looking for players. New design is complete, ready for some shweet giveaways!
