One of the major reasons I started developing my own game(s) is the endless greed of creator studios and publishers these daysIn the past it was buying the game once and maybe an expansion but nowadays it's almost all "live service games" filled with microtransactionsGames are just enough fun to keep people playing and buying more and moreMy game will be focussed on FUN, OFFLINE, FREE and NO microtransactionsIt's kind my big f-you against game-creating-money-milkers perhaps

I don't care for making money with this, like AT ALL :bloblaugh: The developing work is soo much fun and I'm learning a whoole lot so that's worth it for meAlso I have already a Steam game slot available for this upcoming game I'm creating so that's all set alreadyNext to Steam I'm also gonna create a website for a direct download ofc! I don't wanna force ppl to use Steam or whatever

Another cool thing that I'm looking into is shipping physical cds/usbs with my game on it :ed_grin: Just to "have it" or something, like back in the days. Maybe with a nice designed cover etc 💭

@stux so we could play if the INternet is out (and even if the power's out if I've got that little solar battery thing ;))

@stux Nowadays some games are like gambling. Sometimes seems that you are in a casino.

@stux perhaps you could put it on itch.io as well? Lots of smaller games are on there as "pay what you want", so you could still offer it for free but people who want to support your work on it can send you some euros 🙂

@stux My policy is to play open source games, or indie games worth buying. I'm tired of Ubisoft, EA, Activision and the likes.

@stux My favourite pricing model was with Doom in the 90s. First part with 8 levels was free, at the time distributed on floppy disk; second and third parts you had to pay. And people wanted to pay to fund this incredible, at the time, gameplay.More recently I played ETS2 (a simple truck driving game) and I was happy to pay for downloadable content in the form of new country expansions etc, especially as it was fairly reasonable. Good luck with all that you do.
