Is that Space Lincoln in Sculptris, or am I getting some programs mixed up.

Sculptris isn't really a production ready tool. Zbrush is what it's detailed in with the bulk of modelling in Maya.

Wait, the pirated version gets extra funny stuff?

Pretty sure you're in the wrong thread. That was No Time To Explain.

Nah I said that in my article. I'll be uploading a version to the torrents to make sure if they do pirate it they at least get some subtle reminders to get a legit copy if they can. Nothing overly fancy; pirate hats and eye patches, with random lava explosions. Perhaps I'll get the advisor to go "Yarrgh buy the game ye crusty scallywag!" occasionally. (will be available in the full game via a switch)

[Aklyon]

Well, cool.

[The Scout]

Oh. Well, that removes the need to keep a legit copy and a pirated copy available.

Sell the pirate features as DLC.  I'm sure someone will buy it.

For the version you upload as a torrent:

All humans turn into pirates, using pirate models/clothes. The little digging robots get eyepatches, etc. Would be funny

Yeah. And also lets me do quality control on every copy of my game out there. No since the warez groups have a habit of breaking stuff.

With Maia I'm promising no DLC ever. (If I suddenly feel I have something huge to add to the game I'll add it or leave it for a sequel or major expansion.)

[Moogie]

...Every post on this page talking about pirate costumes and eyepatches makes me WANT that in my game.

I don't think it's a good idea to make your self-leaked version more fun or appealing than the standard version, just saying. I would rather have cool neat extras in my legit copy, you know? Give the rewards to the buyers, not the pirates.

[10ebbor10]

The non pirated version gets a switch, I believe.

This is good news. I'm a fan of fully featured expansions that aren't just spiral staircases for $30.

Yeah. Mostly likely I'll just keep adding and adding to the game until people stop buying it.

Here's what I'm currently prototyping: The Maia rover!

I'm going to start working on the game fulltime come next week. Got a few months of savings to live off. But its certainly putting on the pressure to get funds rolling in!

Yeah. Really hope so. Need to get motivated to do fix the animation code though. Not looking forward to fixing it.
