Irishcow a dit : Yes. Well you can count the small ad banner we've added on the right menu on the TFM and Bouboum's websites a few weeks ago. So, fraises + two banners for now. |

While I think adding Ads is a good idea (they didn't bother me much back when they were in the game), I also think you're wasting a lot of potential to improve the game(s) for free. Mods have always worked for free and offered help and feedbacks to you to improve the game, and the community in general often tries to point out what could be done to fix issues, annoyances and other stuff, not to mention suggestions and bug reports (heck sometimes they even try to guess how Tig could fix bugs). All of this obviously gets ignored most of the times, and it's a pity, really. Anyways, if you feel like supporting the game through these Ads you can always log in once a day with your browser on an alt and click them! |

It's related, in some way. Tig is currently the only one that can code everything that's being suggested to us for the game. We do not ignore those suggestions (they are neatly organized in our internal ticket system), we simply don't have the human resource for them. With this additional revenue, we will be able to hire more developers, both for Transformice and for other games, so we can finally make the improvements we are all starving for (yes, we admins do wish we could improve tons of things, but they come in a priority manner and we gotta make heartbreaking choices sometimes) |

I don't understand how you can hire devs and CCMs from advertisements. |

We show an ad inside the game. An ad network pays us if people click on it. With the additional revenue, we can hire and pay more developers and CCMs. |

They get money, and then they use that money to hire new people, right? EDIT: Nevermind, lol. |

Surely you can't sustain a whole workforce whose wages are dependent on the income received from fraises and advertisements? Do employees have any other part-time jobs they attend to apart from developing Transformice and other games? I should add I'm not asking directly what their jobs are, I'm just mildly curious how someone can have a good standard of living whose wages are dependent on income received from ads, not even taking in costs. |

Well no, all employees are full-time at Atelier 801, and fraise+ad income is sufficient for a 10 people workforce (not talking numbers here, but not for much more, hence the addition of inside-ads). |

As I said in the original post: Gullan a dit : Makes me even more happy to buy fraises c: This game is one of the (very) few games I've found that offer in-game purchases, and are not money-greedy. Most games have ridicilous prices on their game currency! But Transformice has a really low price, and they've got amazing graphics and buyable items. So... Kudos! |

Thanks for explaining it so clearly Meli! I know I certainly wouldn't mind a skippable advert when I log in, especially if it helps the game! |

At least it's not one of those annoying ads that pop up every 10 minutes in a game. Hopefully with these ads, Transformice can continue to show improvement in their game(s) |

I don't use the official website so I won't mind it. It's only five seconds, so it won't effect other like those 25 second ads |

@Meli Will we see more Bouboum and Transformice ads' through the web just like the one from your xmas Livestream or this one after the system is fully implemented? I think those ads gives you revenues too, right? ![]() |
