Hi Jacob, Pricing is always going to be a sticky issue for any game and game developer. For one thing if it takes me three to five years to complete a game like that I need to be financially supported for creating that game. If I license music it is up to the customers to pay the money it takes to properly license it. If I need sounds the customers have to come up with the money to properly license it. If it takes me x amount of time to write it I need to get paid for the time I work on it. Else I could be doing something else that makes real money instead of writing games for less than minimum wage. It is sadly cold reality, but if I can write ten small games and make money off of them then it is financially better than investing all that ttime and money into one very huge game. I've already learned that lesson from what I have gone through with Mysteries of the Ancients. However, that project also produced a game engine which I can use to create more games of a similar type with similar quality now for less than half the time it took to create that one game.
