A cordial greetings to the whole community; Felicitos beforehand and my sincere admiration for the talent they have to create some great games. I introduce myself, my name is Luis Alfonso Vega Chavez, I'm from Venezuela Zulia state student two races: ing System (standing) and computer science; dealer, defender / supporter of the values of free software and aware of the benefits of open source pragmatists.
Always and I had the vision of a video game industry based on philosophical and pragmatic aspects of free software and open source, where there is mutual benefit and distribution of knowledge among its parts (game developer, developer and development tools user), this is could say collective intelligence, sim however, is considerable that the games open source currently exists today, still it lacks charisma (so to speak) for serving as a reference for the outdated video game industry which dominates today.
No need reproaching the deficiencies that currently have, nor determine the cause of them, or raise a thesis explaining the why of things, I think q all be clear about it, why I mention my proposal for all those who might be interested: OpenGame Store- The first video game store open source world
beta image page status
Technically speaking, the page is displayed on wordpress, using the WooCommerce plugin to give it the characteristics of online store, sumándoles a topic and use plugins for final details; It is not the most professional, however, could be considered as a good start and someday become a platform in the purest style of STEAM.
Some feature that owns the page are:
*Joint Financing System
*Market deals (The user decides the price of the game)
*Free advertising
*Advertising revenue (adfly and I will be used to generate revenue uploads)
*Investment fund for the deployment of strategic projects that benefit the community (you, we, the community of free software)
*Video game sales
The requirements that will be necessary for the game are part of OpenGame Store are:
*Game source code
*The source code must be licensed under a free software or open source
*Using an open source engine for game development
*Someplace where a third party can contribute to the development of the game (forum, forging software, etc.)
*Documentation of the tools used
