Free or commercial beta?

08 December 2012 - 01:07 PM

So, in less than a week I'll be releasing a beta of my debut commercial game, Archways (excuse my self advertising), on Desura, a semi-popular game distribution website, similar to Steam.



So, my question is this:

When I release the beta, should it be half-priced, or free?



There is enough content in the beta to show off its core features and playability, so it's probably worth the $4.99 (AUD) that consumers would pay for it. If I were to sell it, it would make some quick cash to help create a port for the Mac and pay for a nice looking website.

However, if I were to provide the beta as free to download, then it could bring in more consumers, and spread the word around more before the fully commercial release.



So, back to the original question:

When I release my beta, should it be half-priced, or free?


Returning to the GMC

Hey everyone...

It's been a while since I ventured into this cave we call the GMC...

Hopefully this topic isn't classed as spam?



But anyway, what's new in the past... 2 months I guess?

Any new members? Any fights? Any cool new topics?

ANYTHING new?

Which key do you think is most valuable?

06 October 2012 - 06:01 AM

I was just wondering to myself, if some global computer government thingy (not that such a thing exists... Posted Image) decided that computer keyboards had too many keys, and they decided to remove one of them, which one do you think should be saved? So, which one do you consider to be most valuable?

Also, which key do you think is the least valuable? Which one would you want them to remove?

Just a simple discussion topic :D

I got the idea for this from a conversation Pixel8ed72 and I are currently having.

So, you must post an image in reply to the above poster's image. You can include text in your post, but it is mandatory that you include an image. Also, make sure it relates to the above image! Don't just post a random image.

I'll start :)

What's your plan?

So I've recently returned to game development, and I was just wondering something:

What do you guys do with your games after they're complete?

Do you release them for free to the public as a .exe on the Sandbox, or do you put them on your website with HTML5, or do you sell them on the Apple App Store, or what?

Just curious to see what different people do with their games :)
