Long term game funding

Cool, then you wouldn’t mind shipping me the artwork, right? I’ll pay shipping costs

@Clexarews

Last I checked Chieftain rank gets signed artwork. See my first reply.

That’s the only thing why the Chieftain rank is more interesting for me than the pioneer (i combined my account with @Saint_X so we get the Chieftain instead of 2 Pioneers). Maybe you should read my link again I’m asking the @devs if it’s possible to buy “more” / “other” artworks from them (as other form of income) because i like the artwork style. I’d be willing to pay an other 50€ for eg. a triplet-collection of splitters in different bioms (gaming is art and engeneering … and this game is a lot of art too).

@Clexarews

I guess I get to welcome you to your first MMO! Expansions and additional content for additional costs are the status quo here! Say bye-bye to console (or those w/o season passes anyway) and steam games!

Expansions are legit. Never said something against them ? did i ? All i said is that i like all game content for the original purchase. I don’t like to pay for every skin again. I like THEN not NOW.

@Clexarews

I’m jealous Netflix USD: 15ish I think? Season USD: 25 or so?

You are right, B2T.

@Clexarews

Maybe you missed this since you didn’t take the time to read through previous posts. I was talking about skins and vanity items. It’s actually quite simple in this world to spend real money to buy paint, a new shirt, a dog…I’m against XP boosts, as you’ve already quoted me saying.

Maybe i’m not able to translate my thoughts correct or missed to tell something important for you.

To keep your example - You might buy paint in a store, but you can’t ask good (the mighty guy that spends “meta-money” for you [his character in this game]) to buy you ultra-paint (totally unique color that can only acquired from god-like beings) with holy might. Maybe this example is better to understand.

@Clexarews

I again offer the argument that Boundless devs seem to be working hard to make the wearables horizontal instead of vertical.

I really hope there will be a vertical component. Otherwise why should i spend time on collecting a matching set ? I’d just use the first best set. Even in the real world equipment and clothing are both vertical and horizontal at the same time. You don’t take your bathing slippers to climbing (at least i hope you don’t). There are clothes that are better (higher level) for different situations. If i go in dangerous environments (most likely a lot in B<) i’ll pick something that offers me protection. And this kind of protection should be visualized in the skin IMO.

@Nyuudles

I think we’d all come to a better understanding or conclusion once C++ and more updates are out, but for now, I would love to talk more about other options other than subscription fees.

You are right. To come back i like to offer an other idea of content creation (not income for the @devs but maybe cheaper development / design). There was already a good topic from @Havok40k where i added this idea.

@Heurazio

Voxel games have (before any other genre/type) the unique possibility to include player made content into the game (if it’s done correct).

In addition B< could be like Netflix but with player made content (dungeons, jumping-puzzles eg) instead of videos. They would accelerate the content development if they start working close with the player base.
