Well most games are about between £30 and £40 anyway normally so it wouldn't be overly expensive. As long as the content was in the game and as long as it wasn't mae to be a 5 minute wonder then yeah I'd pay it. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Hayden Presley Sent: 14 January 2010 01:41 To: thomasward1...@gmail.com; 'Gamers Discussion list' Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The future of Blastbay Studios About the price...I'd pay it. It'd be great to have a full-blown sighted RPG in our market-I'm sure others would agree up th that point.

A full blown RPG like Xeno Gears or Final Fantasy would take years to complete. Mysteries of the Ancients is a much simpler game in design and it took me two years to get the basic engine written and stable enough for play. True, I had some recent setbacks such as the bugs with Managed DirectX forcing me to basically adopt a new engine/design, but the basic point is with only one or two man operations a game of any serious complexity takes lots of time and patients. I've been thinking of doing some sort of RPG game, but the time involved with such a project is staggering. Even a straight text based game like Sryth is rather complex and time consuming. Something more like Final Fantasy is unthinkable for a single person to do unless he/she plans to put five years or more into that project. Then, when it comes out what should the developer charge for that work. Certainly not $20 for a game like that. Try at leas $50 or $60 considering the time and effort involved. Then, of course people will scream and complain about the price.
