All about BotFu

I wish there was some exciting and motivating story behind the idea of BotFu.com, but really it's just a guy (Kevin Marshall) who wanted to build some simple games he could play with his friends via email.

Kevin wanted the games to be easy to play (because who has time to learn or play really involved games anymore -- none of his friends that's for sure), but challenging to win (because games are just more fun that way).

Kevin focused on games that could be done via email so that even those of his friends locked behind nasty firewalls at work could stay in the games each day (and let's be honest, he's not so great at graphics anyway). Not to mention that there are a million better graphic based games out there people can play than what Kevin thinks he could build on his own (get an Xbox 360, a PS3, or a Wii if you want to be serious about gaming)!

What has developed out of those initial basic goals is what you now know as BotFu.com!

How does BotFu make money?

The quick answer right now is "we don't". However, we hope to some day soon through context-appropriate ads (Google Adsense), affiliate sales programs and marketing deals, perhaps some site-run tournaments and contests, and subscription based game and feature upgrades. We're also open to other ideas on how we can use BotFu to make money so if you've got ideas on how to make us RICH RICH RICH, please let us know!

The bottom line though is that even if we never make any money from BotFu directly, we're having fun building and playing the various games ourselves and we're using it as a pretty cool technology playground at the same time (so worst case we're building our resumes and portfolios)!

Got any new ideas?

We are always looking for ways to add to the fun, so if you've got an idea for a new game that you and your friends would like to play here please do share it with us at info at botfu.com!
