Did you try placing it in the coin tray/ cup holder that comes out when you push the little |> thing?

I haven't forgotten, Karz!
I still think about DW2...

Some of the key points:

1. It has to run on tablets and smartphones as well as PCs and Macs
2. I'm leaning heavily towards making it an eSports game to start with: you'd form teams with your friends (1 car each, probably) and fight your way thru combat leagues (like 'League of Legends'). Later it could be expanded to have other features like DW
3. Yeah, it would have to be based on a freemium model (i.e. free to play but you can buy in-game coins for real cash).. this is the way most smartphone games are made these days, it's *very* hard to get them any visibility any other way
4. Turn based. Must be. This is DW's unique thing. Small-budget indie games must have a strong unique twist, or they fail.
5. Latest idea: direct tie in with the DW database.. i.e. you'd use the same characters in both games (but probably not the same cars), thereby giving a strong cross-promotion between the games.. could be a good way to bring fresh players into DW.

Does this mean 'in town' events will DW2 and wilderness will be DW1?

Not initially, no. DW2 would be an optional addition - a more formal and structured pvp league system.

One of the F2P models I like is how League of Legends, Eve and Path of Exile allow you to purchase items that don't necessarily affect play.

In LoL, you can unlock new champions. Maybe equivalent to finding a horde Ferraris.

In Eve you can buy enhanced gear that you can use earlier, but without the proper skill, it is not much more effective than normal gear, and it can get blown up. Maybe equivalent to car enhancement mod like turbocharger/supercharger or other car mods that can blow up with the car, with or without a chance of salvaging.

In POE, all transactions of cosmetic. Maybe equivalent to blank car/people skins that people can customize to get their own look. Can be applied to one car or person and dies with them or may be recoverable.

Why not sell heavy lasers for five dollars each. Then when you use them they spawn hundreds of cars.

You could make all your money back on Goat Starer alone.

If you're going to tie DW and DW 2 together, they should both be mobile friendly, otherwise you might get players who love DW2 but wont play DW1 if it's only available on PC and Mac.

Would it even be possible to port DW over to Shiva? Then you could publish it for Desktops, Mobile, or even directly through the browser.
