We have an update coming this week for Dungeon Quest 1 that will change a few of the ways we are able to show ads in our game.
I know, no one likes ads, we understand that. The ads do help us however provide Dungeon Quest for free (excluding some vanity items and character slots) and to continue to develop future games.
We would like to know how our players would like to see ads in Dungeon Quest going forward since we have a few different ways we can do it.
Stay the same. Ads are only seen by players who play our game for free (have not made any purchases). We also offer everyone the option to watch a âreward videoâ (fancy way of saying you watch a video for another game and then you get a boost) during the regular game play and between some PVP matches.
Remove the banner ads you see in the regular game and just have ads on the loading screen.
Remove both the banner ads and the loading screen ads BUT increase the frequency of the ârewardâ video ads that are shown.
I chose Option 1 because it seems the best of the 3 choices to me. my only problem with the banner ads (before I became a Big Spender for DQ) was that they took up part of the screen, and it was hard to see stuff at the top of the screen for the duration of the ad. I donât even do the Reward Videoâs that often, but sometimes Iâll binge on the reward videoâs for a short time just to get a few good boosts.
Thanks DQ Devâs and support team for a great game.
I chose Option 1. I have contributed to the game, so I donât see âregularâ ads. What I like about the current system is that you have a choice of viewing the ârewardâ ads or not, and itâs easy to choose whether or not to view such ads, as the box is noticeable, but not obtrusive. I often do choose to view the ârewardâ ads (mostly in PVE) because I like the boosts, and I have even clicked through a few times to read more about the games on the Google Play Store. Personally, I am not sure that I would bother to view the ârewardâ ads more often if they were presented more frequently, as it would be even more time spent not getting to what I opened DQ to do - actually playing DQ.
HehâŚ
I understand what youâre sayinââŚ
The âreward boost adsâ are completely optional though⌠if you donât want to get a 5 minute boost, donât click to watch the adâŚ
I still see adds while making purchases which I donât mind because they are sparse. I usually tap the adds before an arena battle and nip to the loo while it plays
