Please don’t. This way leads to madness. I understand people in different countries have different general levels of income, but why should a rich person in Hungary get a game cheaper than a rich person in America? More to the point, here in Australia, we frequently see massive price differentials. On Steam, I recall Civ V was selling here for double the price in the US, and we just have to pay more. I don’t earn much so why should I have to pay more than someone in America?

So I think I’ll concentrate on making Jetpack release 1 bigger, with more themes and content, and worry about the sequels later, maybe spaced out 4-6 months so I have time to make them full games. And for price I’ll start out at either $15 or $19. I don’t want people to have their fill of levels on the first game though. What do you think, is 50 levels + 20 bonus levels enough for a full game? I believe Jumpman had about 50 levels.

The time travel idea is cliche, I’ll come up with something better when the time comes.

So the release schedule is roughly:

* Release the editor
* Build the 15-level free version, and try to find a sponsor: 3-4 weeks
* Work on the full version for simultaneous public release: 3-4 weeks

That puts us at around Oct 1 for release. Let’s hope that’s not the 8th release date I miss!

i dont really like the idea about
Travelling back in time twice, because it makes the story a bit repetitive.
for the 3rd story i would say, that he like smashes some cryochamber (at the end of 2nd) and wakes up in the future on a ship or in a derelict futuristic building, and makes his way whilst solving a puzzle and seeing clues, to the man behind it and it was all a sick experiment at the end

When will the next release will come out?

Or do you want to keep the process a little bit
away from the public audience?

This would be sad.

I’ll be using a service like Fastspring or BMT, they have a service to send a physical CD for a fee, but I don’t know if a label can be designed or not. If so I would definitely design a label for it.

Kalnz, you’ll see your levels in the new editor.

For each episode/part/game I would be willing to pay a good $15-$20. I am sure it is a bit high, but I am a big fan. For the whole trilogy, I would be up for paying about $50. Anything more than $25/part or $60 for the trilogy would make me want to hold off and hesitate to buy it though. Something about those numbers that make it a little harder to spend such a big chunk.

I would really love an option for physical media. Maybe an option to get the whole trilogy on a CD with a cardboard sleeve for an additional cost. Something like $10 – $15 I believe is about right, as long as the CD has some fancy picture on it. (Burnt discs are not exactly awesome, and I don’t think I would pay much more than $5 for that to be sent out). I am a big fan of having the items I purchase on physical media though, so it might not even be popular.

As long as I don’t have to go and make an account in some game portal thing like Steam to get it, I will be a happy camper! (also not a fan of games/software linked/restricted to other systems/services.)

Either, way, you are doing great work, and I will be happy when there is a release!
