How much is 1 band? That’s a tough one. For me, it depends on who you ask. I’ve heard ‘only’ 1 band and ‘about’ 1 band, but I’d never really know what any of those means until someone asked me for it.
It’s pretty standard, but I have to say that, with the exception of I can’t get enough of the 3D, I don’t really think there is any reason for a 3D game to be a game with a player. So in my opinion, a 3D game is pretty standard.
I think the best thing for someone to ask is, “how much is 1 band” and I’ll let you know.
It depends on the company. If youre asking from a company that makes games that rely heavily on microtransactions (like Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, etc.) then I dont think you should be asking. I would say, you should ask how much its worth and if you can pay for it. If there is a way for you to pay for it, go for it. If there is no way to pay for it, then its probably not worth it.
I had some friends ask me this question, so I figured I’d answer it. There are currently several major 3D games out on retail/indie PC platforms with single player campaigns. The games can be purchased for hundreds or thousands of dollars, and they can take months or years to play through in complete comfort.
I think I can answer your questions.
There are three types of content players can purchase from indie PC developers. The first is the big-budget, big-name titles that are sold on Steam, GOG, or Humble. These are generally released under a “pay what you want” model, where the price varies based on how long and how many hours you want to play. The second is the smaller-budget titles that just appear on Steam.
The first type of content is the kind that will be released on Steam, but which are limited to a certain number of hours. For example, we launched the game on Steam early last fall, but we released the full game on release day last week. The second type of content is the kind that are released on Steam, but which have limited amount of hours. For example, the game we released a month ago has only one week of content, but it’s still available.
Steam is a platform for software developers such as ourselves to distribute our games in a more affordable manner, and for developers to get some exposure. We don’t expect to make a whole lot of money from this game, but we’ll still make some money from it. That’s why we have to make sure we ship it out on time, and that we put out the content we promised to our customers.
Our business model is to always release on time regardless of how busy the release schedule is. We want to not only satisfy our customers, but also the publishers we work with. As the old saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
