Price Point / Bonuses on Steam Edition Post-Greenlight?

#1 Post by R-F »

Does anyone know what darkgod is planning on making the price on the Steam edition to be? Or what he's planning on having the bonuses to be?

IIRC, bonuses will be the same as the current donator's bonuses: Exploration mode, Stone Warden, custom character tiles, the item vault, and "donator" status.

As for price, there has never been official word, but I think the donation box in-game has 10 (Dollars, Pounds, or Euros, I can't remember) entered by default, so that would be as good of a guess as any. Also Steam works with developers to set a final price after acceptance, so don't expect any official word either.

Being a GPL licence game... I'm fairly certain it's not permissable to have a price on it, it would have to go on steam as free to play, though optional donor packages could certainly be added.

GPL says nothing about commercialisation. You can have a game that is both open source and paid for. Many Linux packages are commercial.

For pricing I imagine Steam would want something similar to Dungeons of Dredmor.

Yeah I'd suspect the $5 to $10 range.
