Hello,

A blog is something I'm currently giving a lot of serious thought to and was sent a list of 10 must have Wordpress blog plug ins from my cousin who has a decent blog following.

Will just list them and maybe they could be of some use. I haven't used them personally so apologies if they are not of any use.

Have a lovely day.

[GAME STATUS:]

Introducing Virtual Earth Online, It has taken over 5 years to get to this stage. The technology behind this game is STUNNING!

The game is currently free to download and we invite people to test out our new servers and give general honest feedback.






The game is constantly being updated with new features every week. You can build massive cities, go to war with other players and virtually do anything you want.

The VEO game is a hybrid between the successful Minecraft and Sims video games coupled with stunning Google Earth technology to produce what is not just a video game but what could be considered the future of the internet.

The game play for VEO is based on the “sandbox” concept. Players have tools and building materials available to them and the players are able to build anything they like in the game.






Once players purchase their block of land they are free to build, explore and interact with other players in the game. Land blocks can be developed by players and then placed for sale to other players on the Virtual Earth Online real-estate website for real money.

GAME STATUS:

The VEO technology is already developed and the game is live online and available to play, currently free to download until full launch through the Steam network.

[Virtual Earth Online (VEO)]

Hey Nick,

The video game industry is big business with some games making over $500 million within 24 hours of their release.

A new video game Virtual Earth Online (VEO) has been developed and is almost ready for release.

This new game has stunning world leading technology and a proven formula that could propel it into the annals of history as one of the greatest games ever designed.

Some important points:

1. Minecraft made over $3 Billion USD in sales.
2. Microsoft purchased Minecraft for $2.4 Billion USD.
3. Virtual Earth Online is a far superior game compared to Minecraft.
4. Over 150 million people have purchased Minecraft.
5. Minecraft players want a Minecraft 2 game but Microsoft are not releasing a sequel to Minecraft.
6. Virtual Earth Online is the next evolution of Minecraft.

SKILLS AND TECHNOLOGIES:

To develop a game for today’s demanding players requires a video game company to have a large range of skills and technologies, including graphic design, programming in multi computer languages, network technologies, marketing and development skills. VEO has sourced these skills and have them all under one roof based in Australia.

THE VIRTUAL EARTH ONLINE GAME:

Your house is in this game! The street you live on is in this game!

Yes that’s correct! Every road, river, tree, all the oceans, it is all here in this game! VEO uses proprietary technology that utilizes Google Earth technology to reproduce the entire Earth in the game. This has never been done before!

The VEO game is a hybrid between the successful Minecraft and Sims video games coupled with stunning Google Earth technology to produce what is not just a video game but what could be considered the future of the internet.

VEO is a recreation of the entire Earth:

The game play for VEO is based on the “sandbox” concept. Players have tools and building materials available to them and the players are able to build anything they like in the game.

Players can purchase a block of land where they live and build their house in the game, they can reconstruct their local shopping malls in the game and can even charge rent for businesses to advertise within the game.

To understand the game better please visit www.virtualearthonline.com and view the trailer video.

NEW TECHNOLOGY:

The technology developed for VEO is staggering, not only is the entire Earth reconstructed within the game but we also have a real economy operating within the game utilizing real money.

Players can purchase blocks of land from the website using state of the art technology proprietary to VEO. Once players purchase their block of land they are free to build, explore and interact with other players in the game. Land blocks can be developed by players and then placed for sale to other players on the VEO real-estate website for real money.

THE INTERNET MARKET:

Online shopping is rapidly becoming the dominate force for retail sales around the world. VEO will have shopping malls and 3D technology that will allow business owners to reach out to their customers with the latest 3D technology.

As the digital world becomes more entrenched in people’s lives the need for real office space to conduct business is becoming less relevant.

People are working from home more because of the connectivity of the internet to customers. VEO will become a place where business owners will be able to establish their business and have a 3D presence in the digital world.

GAME STATUS:

The VEO technology is already developed and the game is live online and available to play, currently free to download until full launch through the Steam network.

Thank you for your time Nick, best wishes and enjoy the game.

[How do you spread the word about your great games?What sites do you use and to what degree of success?Do you use any social media management tools and if so which ones?]

  A wise man once said to me we should be active on social media to get visitors to Virtual Earth Online.

We have since set up a YouTube Channel

Started showcasing some screenshots on Instagram: @virtualearthonlinethegame

My problem is how to do that effectively and still have enough time to eat and sleep an hour or two.

I do not want to offer any suggestions here, I just want to tap the brains of the many knowledgeable people here for advice.

How do you spread the word about your great games?

What sites do you use and to what degree of success?

Do you use any social media management tools and if so which ones?

Thank you in advance for any information or value you add to this thread. 

[Imagine]

Imagine, a few years down the line searching Google for this very first post introducing Virtual Earth Online. I hope your vision looks as cool as mine 

On the off chance this happens here are some other great "This day in history" facts.

1998: President Clinton impeached....... That cigar president

1941: Hitler takes command of the German army....... Who called that? 

1997: Titanic sails in to theaters...... We all went with a girl to see this, right? 

I'm not the brains behind VEO, he (Kyle) is too busy putting the finishing code together or so he tells me. I'm thinking investment money and whisky bottle 



I look forward to your input, suggestions and general banter over the coming months and years. My very best wishes to you all.

"Health, Wealth, Happiness and Love" ... and the abundance of all four!
