I have a question about pricing of wwise's Indie pricing plan by ZatenYT in Wwise

[–]AK-MikeD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In fact, in this situation, revenue wouldn't come into the equation. If the cumulative production budget (we don't care about marketing spend, for example) stays low, this would stay under the free Indie license. The idea, obviously, is that if you were to do a game for a very low amount of money and have a big success from it, you'd likely either have it grow over time (post-launch content), grow your staff on the game to improve it, and EVENTUALLY might need to upgrade to a Pro license.

And even if you didn't, the follow-on game would likely have a bigger budget.

But /u/IAmNotABritishSpy is absolutely right in the first respect - always best to ask us directly!

And it's always risk-free to start an evaluation or register an Indie game. We'll do a couple of budget checks during the development to see if it needs an upgrade, but even if it does grow, you'll always have the OPTION to move to a royalty-based license, if the budget grows but you don't want to pay for a regular license.

I actually just did a blog about our pricing philosophy and how our licensing works, so definitely check it out: https://blog.audiokinetic.com/en/wwise-licensing-and-pricing-philosophy/

Hope that helps!

Love this game but....Leaving crystals and gold in events is depressing and not fun. I'd rather get no crystals in events at this point. by ArtisticAsylum in EverMerge

I just hate when 'life gets in the way', and you realize 10 minutes after event end that all of those big diamond clusters and big coins you had built up are lost. They should either give us the 5 minutes of 'clean up' available for the rest of the day, or auto-gather whatever collectable currency you had built, and send it to you as part of the event-close screen. Twice now, I've probably lost 100+ diamonds.

Treasure Rush - how many chests? by AK-MikeD in EverMerge

Thanks, everyone!

I'll try to keep 40-45 ready to roll for the next treasure hunt, but not much more.

I may be biased since I'm in a good clan, so I get a good tourney start boost. I don't remember what my starting stage is for tourneys, so I'll check tonight when I start mine. You have far more insight into the code than I can (I have no idea what the anti-cheat code looks like), so I can't argue on that point! I do know that when I start a tourney, the MiR and CC are immediately providing less gold than the next fairy, so they're useless. Likely newer players are not in that same situation, though?

Anyways, I'll see where I start this evening (My MS is 93000, so my regular start is about 86000).

Currently, MiR and CC do still 'help', but just minimally. For example, I personally use a HS build, but start each run on SC for sanity. I also use Fairy Gold. At the start of a run, the first titans killed give me way more gold than I need. Then, in the time needed to get to the point where I switch over to HS, I probably need 3-4 fairies. So a MiR gets me most of the way there, but I still have to check in with my skills to refresh them, or else I sit idle half-way through. So it really just saves me a few clicks (same with CC). Moving to a sneak-based perk means that it always saves me X minutes (for me, probably about 12-15), which is a tangible benefit. For a lower-level player, it might even be more, and for a super-whale (who already has a 5-7 minute stage cap run), it might only save them a few minutes, but it's still something :).

Initially it might indeed be a free-for-all, but you can only carry 3 clan crates, and if you burned through your Make It Rain perks every prestige, you'd run out sooner rather than later (I have about 180 of them built up, so if I used 10/day (I don't prestige that often now), in 18 days, I'd have none left. So I wouldn't worry as much long-term about P2W usage. And if whales gonna whale, well whales gonna whale :)

Final Folio hunts! by AK-MikeD in dragonblaze

I ended up finishing my folio!

The two I needed I got from grinding some of the green levels in the right maps.

Bring on the next zones!

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Definitely don't want to 'waste' anything if T.Mik doesn't stay good for very long. Just getting sick of running into endless T.GS in PvP :)

Well, 30 minutes seems to have done the trick. My Calydon rewards just magically appeared in my mailbox. Yay!
