In this thread Freeman suggested some kind of special edition which would cost more than the regular one.
Eric then asked what freeman wanted in a special edition.
I thought this was a good topic for an entire thread.
For me personally, a lot of the ideas i had tend to overlap with things that are moddable. Don't know what to make of that but ill try to list some anyway.
- Name in the game kind of things are popular at the moment for example, so having a company named after you added to the game that follows your favorite game strategy perhaps?
Would probably be a fair amount of work so it might raise the purchase cost quite a bit.
- Early access to future beta's
I can also draw on things ive seen in other games. Ill list some of them.
Im not a fan of holding back actual game content, but if chose to do so you could
- Have extra scenarios/missions for special editions
- Have extra start settings for special editions
Less attractive options that i imagine are fairly expensive to produce are things like:
- Strategy guides
- Wallpapers/Artwork etc.
- Merchandise (depending on the game could be a bunch of things)
Here are a couple of examples of current alphas ive seen and the way theyve done it: (there are obviously many more out there)
Prison Architect (Scroll down to the bottom)
Factorio
Anyone else want to brainstorm a bit for this?
