But i have to ask in no offence; how did it take 2 years to develop these 2 chapters? i mean it has pretty short gameplay (no offence again).<br /><br />I am just curious.noisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400803966128083263.post-82934675648715799302010-12-27T02:13:27.169-08:002010-12-27T02:13:27.169-08:00A preset sum amount but then the option to pay mor...A preset sum amount but then the option to pay more if we felt the game needed it. I want to donate more than the small ammoint I payed for all the chapters... I feel guilty. People who work on Call of Honour in particular don't spend 2 yrs on a game before throwing it at it's consumers wallets.

So if you like this type of game, why not vote with your money and support the makers?"<br /><br />My thoughts exactly. Buying the game means more to me than collecting some entertainment to fill my (virtual) shelves: it's an investment in the developer(s) themselves, and recognition that their efforts deserve to be rewarded, as clumsy a reward as money is (although money is always nice of course!).<br /><br />I absolutely love The Dream Machine so far - come on, it's gorgeous! - and I want to see more games like this. I also like you guys and I want to support your work, whatever you decide to do next. For that reason, i'm more than happy to buy the game, and I won't put a price on it; whatever you decide is fine by me.<br /><br />I will say though that your timing with preorders is excellent: that's Christmas this year sorted;-)straydogstruthttp://www.straydogstrut.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400803966128083263.post-60488975999892692372010-11-22T04:36:57.747-08:002010-11-22T04:36:57.747-08:00How about $5 for a single chapter and $30 for the ...How about $5 for a single chapter and $30 for the whole package?Ferylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897964674701326440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400803966128083263.post-75518907572965854322010-11-21T08:19:09.622-08:002010-11-21T08:19:09.622-08:00Luca>>> We're working on something si...Luca>>> We're working on something similar right now, but I like your photograph-idea!Dream Machine Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462851913182518454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400803966128083263.post-2832282434434573612010-11-21T07:27:53.435-08:002010-11-21T07:27:53.435-08:00A nice way to support the project would be some ki...A nice way to support the project would be some kind of "supporter" account, which allows to donate and help you in your efforts.

But on the other hand, you buy a lot of clay; and more importantly make a lot of things with the clay which I suppose translates to energy and food. Or maybe you can price lower because you're aiming to make the game as cheap as you can without going bankrupt.<br /><br />I generally expect downloadable games to cost less than physical ones seeing how they don't require all the manufacturing, packaging, and transportation, but as a fan I would gladly pay $70 (the price of one game) for all 5 episodes. It would seem expensive to me at that point though.Ritchie Thaihttp://dozydagger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400803966128083263.post-90937899622377370332010-11-20T12:48:09.113-08:002010-11-20T12:48:09.113-08:00I would gladly pay $10 per chapter based on how I ...I would gladly pay $10 per chapter based on how I liked Chapter 1.<br /><br />Will be looking for the pre-order package with great anticipation.Paintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400803966128083263.post-26679357128380596312010-11-20T09:19:04.498-08:002010-11-20T09:19:04.498-08:00Yeah, 5 bucks a chapter feels about right to me.
