Are people who already bought EP 2 going to have to buy EP 3 as well, or will it be included with the EP 2 purchase?
I know this won’t matter for a few decades or so, but I’m really curious. |

It’s probably too early for CZ to say, but I think Ep 3 will be a seperate purchase. |

Would they be able to be bought out of order? |

I’m pretty sure ET can implant a check that would basicly be “If player has purchased Episode 2, Episode 3 appears in its’ place” something along those lines. |

I doubt they’d be purchasable out of order. I mean, there’s an ongoing storyline — why would you want to buy them out of order?
That’s even bumuming you’d have to pay for it. Ep2 was well into development when they were going back and forth about whether to charge for it or not. Now, given the reasoning (in the blog entry and elsewhere) for why they decided to charge for it, I think it’s likely they will charge again, as I don’t see those reasons changing.
But in any case, it is WAY too early to be discussing this. Ep2 isn’t even a week old yet, and they’re focused on fixing problems more than creating that future (near as I know — there are over 300 bug reports waiting to be processed). MC Banhammer edited this message on 10/19/2008 6:48PM |

It’s way too early to think about! It’s even hard to speculate because it’s too early to see how well Episode 2 sold overall since it’s brand new.

I remember the blog entry that talked about about why Ep. 2 would cost money compared Forumwarz to shareware games—that is, you get to play the first part free but then have to pay for all the rest. Having to pay for Episode 3 would would go against this model, making the various episodes more like expansion packs. maxvance edited this message on 10/19/2008 10:49PM |

I’d suggest eventually slashing the price, making ep2 free or at least cheaper once ep3 is out, and then charging for ep3.
For example you could make it maybe like 5 BP to buy ep2, 5 to buy ep3 if you have ep2, or save a bit and pay only 7 to buy both if you have neither. That’ll make for an attractive sale down the line. |

Yeah, this is probably how it will happen. Although like I said before it’s way too early, and it’s just an issue of us crunching numbers and trying to figure out the best way to go ahead.
A new episode is no good to us unless we can get a lot of people to play it, you know? |

One of the bugs is the ‘stop anthropomorphising me!’ Peen failing to appear.
Or if it isn’t a bug it should be.Log in to see images! King Krimson edited this message on 10/20/2008 11:04AM |

Actually not, and this kind of post isn’t really welcome in Game Discussion.
Might I suggest somewhere in here? |

K well I was just wondering guys.
While we’re at it, do you think it’ll take as long to do EP 3 as it did to do EP 2, or will it be less time since you’re more used to doing large projects now? Or for some other reason? |

How big do you want Episode 3? The time doesn’t come in the programming. The time comes in the content creation and variability of missions. It also depends what kinds of other things we’ll want to focus on in the meantime like improvements to Forumbuildr, Domination, INCIT, other end games.. marketing, etc etc. Episode 3 will take as long as it takes. We’ll know more once we prove that Episode 2 is a success (and we start Episode 3). |

K, just wondering.
I’m just kind of looking forward to it, y’know? EP 2 was sex+win+orsum, so another thing with “Episode” then a number sounds like something relevant to my interests. |

In my opinion it’s selling well, ahead of my expectations for sales by this point (although to be fair I had no idea what to expect.) Giving specifics makes me uneasy, but the future of Forumwarz development looks good right now!
As for what’s next: after the bugs die down a bit, we will be upgrading the site a lot. ForumBuildr will be first, I know that.
We have tons of ideas for other enhancements and features. I don’t want to say what they are because I have no idea how we’ll prioritize things, but I think there’s room for improvement everywhere. Evil Trout edited this message on 10/20/2008 7:10PM |
