Ponderings

I bought VXAce (pre-ordered, really, for the discount and the shiny bonuses) and I've been playing with it a bit here and there.

One of the things I'm seriously considering is creating a commercial game with Ace. I've been researching the market and the whole process of going commercial for a while now. I still don't know everything I should (marketing and taxes, primarily!), but I'm hoping that I will get a chance to pick someone's brain about it. Obviously, I need to actually conceptualize and finish the game first. And then there's the matter of figuring out where/how to sell it, how much to charge etc etc.

Would any of you be interested in buying a complete game I created? If so, how much would you be willing to spend?

  1. I would!

    I'd personally be willing to spend around 15-20€, because I like your writing style, your choice of music and the overall look of your maps, so I know I would be getting a product I'd enjoy.
    But for being a debutant at this, perhaps keeping your price around 10-15€ or lower would be better because there are already enstablished and successuful deveolpers that sell their games for less.

  2. I'd say it depends on the game itself.
    Normally I'd start to talk about the graphics and overall style right now but as I'm a fan of TUAH and already know your work, I'll skip that... ;-)

    I guess I'd buy it for 10 - 20 €, $, Swiss Francs or whatever currency it'll be.
    If it is really, really good, I'd even go up to 30.

  3. Thank you so much for the feedback and the support! I would probably keep it around 10-15$ (7.50-11€), since that sounds pretty reasonable. :3
