Title: Adult Video Game IP (Serious Buyers Only)
Post by: Khepri on January 23, 2017, 05:03:32 AM
Description: Triple X Tycoon (http://en.joy-toilet.com/xxx/) (Assets + Source)

Starting bid: BTC .5

Buy it now: BTC 8

End date and time: January 31st, 2017, 12 AM EST

Payment methods accepted: Bitcoin w/ Escrow

Seller Note: This is a short buy window because it is experimental in nature.  Alternatively, the team is actively pursuing other opportunities via more traditional channels at the start of February.

Why sell?: For the past two+ years my team and I have been developing a simulation game in which the player will get to experience the highs and lows of the adult entertainment industry from behind the scenes. The game features random events that may effect the growth of your studio or hinder performers. Volatile consumer trends are the norm. Extravagant award shows are commonplace, even performers come and go as time pushes on in an industry that makes big money on erotic indulgence.

Although recently, the company as a whole began to fall on some hard times. With the new year came new problems and a shedding of some key members of our core group. These problems are no secret and have been ongoing, but we're usually very transparent and open to solutions from our community.  However, as of late, we've been forced into a real corner as our ability to resume development has become a growing concern. And the project over time has been putting a dangerous strain on very limited resources. So we are effectively on life-support. We've now reached a point in which the rest of the team is exhausted and open to external solutions that would allow the project to continue, even if under a new group with deeper pockets.

Maintenance Costs
have been truncated as we use a main server to host our sister sites and other properties (like this one) under various sub-domains.  The sale of triplextycoon[dot]com will be included alongside the required files.  Overall monthly costs on the digital end - outside of development - run up to just $12.  

Development status: Playable pre-alpha (http://www.joy-toilet.com/1/txt-2.11(win).zip) (Windows)

Sales potential: The game has been covered by various publications in both the adult (http://www.xbiz.com/news/186711) and gaming (https://www.destructoid.com/run-a-porn-studio-in-triple-x-tycoon-296451.phtml) spaces from the USA to Africa, Spain and Japan (http://jp.automaton.am/articles/iotw/indie-pick-159-triple-x-tycoon/).  The company also boasts a 10k+ mailing list in anticipation of a pending release on Steam.

Domain transfers can be made via Godaddy. Our main site runs on LAMP with a backend for reviewing our mailing list.  Wordpress and Vanilla Forums sprinkled in.

This game is single player and uses a custom 2D isometric game engine that is mostly complete, although we never could afford the assets we needed.  

Additional information:  This game has been Greenlit (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=708667529), although our page has not launched in solemn anticipation of our inability to finance the project to completion.  The game has also been built to be easily ported across platforms.

Lifetime Revenue (pre-release to date):
$1700

Our Investment (to-date): ~$5000

So, if you ever wanted a quick way into the adult games industry this could be a decent opportunity.

Would it be possible for you to prove that this project is something that you own? Perhaps a html document on your server or post on your forum which says:
Code:
Triple X Tycoon is up for sale on Bitcointalk.org by user Khepri. Thread link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1761626.0

It doesn't have to be publicly shown, however we have had people try to sell things that they don't own before. Hope you can understand.
