Stats and Fansites?

[Zeus]

Two of my favorite indulgences are Statistics and Fansites. So I'm wondering...

Does Acony have any plans to provide, upon game launch, Fansite Kits? Statistics Portal and/or API?

Both seem to add quite a bit of value to a given game and it's player-base. It also seems like a wonderful way to help promote the game. In my experience, Fansites and Stats are becoming increasingly popular in the gaming community. I've noticed a fair amount of draw to my group's website due to the presence of a few stats portals that we provide based on API's from the game companies. I've also begun to collect a few Fansite Kits so that our website can feature a few custom pages about / promoting our favorite games. I would love to add Hedone also, when it is launched. ;)

It would be understandable if no such plans exist, but I hope that the idea(s) for these things aren't completely out of the question. :D

[snIt wasn't me]

CzkOtay and me have asked questions about stats during our interview (http://www.dso-funclan.de/?section=cms&id=4) on Gamescom 2011. (Sorry, but it is in German language :/)

I try to summarize the answer in English: A lot of stats in Hedone are included by the game itself. First, that should be engough. But if Acony determines a huge desire of gamestats, they will look into it and possibly bring more opportunities to see extern game stats.

Regarding fansites:

There are a few fansites at the moment. For example hedone.3d-shooter.net (http://pb.3d-shooter.net/index.php) , Hedone-HQ (http://www.hedone-hq.com/portal/) or some other sites. Real English-fansites are not known to me.

Hi,

Version 1 of the fansite kit will be available shortly, it is just going through the final approval process.

The kit will evolve as the game does, with additional assets added overtime.

Cheers,
