First thanks for playing my game! Unfortunately there aren't more mechanics than visible in game. The plan for 2-port servers was to have some failover option in case of internet outages (not implemented). Also except for price there's no difference between routers and switches. Layer2/Layer3 split was something I thought about a lot but I was always torn between making a simple and easy to understand game or a proper network simulation game.
Thanks for the detailed reply and all your work you put in this platform! Since you've asked for some ideas:
- itch.io purple - $5 a month for a purple name, purple border around your profile pic and a good feeling ;)
- sourceforge seems to be successfull in keeping misleading ads of their download pages, maybe they have some infos on how to achieve this
- itch.io awards - you can award games with special badges for gamefeel, funny story, etc, awards cost $2-$10 and revenue will be split with creator
- probably needs some kind of itch.io coins that you can exchange for awards because of transaction costs
- creator can opt out of awards, award categories?
- reddit could be of inspiration here
This tweet lead me to researching this topic, so there are at least two persons witnessing ads on itch: https://twitter.com/ryguygames/status/1330541234876805123
1) use browser thats not logged into itch.io
2) ensure browser has no adblock installed / tracking protection enabled
3) go to https://faxdoc.itch.io/kattespill
4) click on download now
5) click on No thanks, ...
6) click on download
7) Wait a second for the ad to load on the post download pop up
Hi Itch.io - Team,
Whats the reasoning behind showing ads on our download pages? If you need money I'm sure many creators would support you with some dollars per month just for the great services you provide.
The topic already came up last year, but the thread was archived without a conclusive reply. https://itch.io/t/501822/ads-on-free-itch-games-when-not-logged-into-itch
