He's also offering Steam codes to people who bought the games beforehand, neglecting the potential extra revenue from redundant buyers willing to buy on sale for library redundancy, or pay again just to have their catalog all on their most used service. I'll note that Kelso does offer sales fairly regularly, and it's been worthwhile to keep an eye on his blog for them. And while there was a decent vocal amount of disagreement on Steam, I found Loren: The Amazon Princess to be a more then respectable RPG title, with a cast and characteriztion that was of a quality I rarely encountered, even in the (pre Kickstarter revitalizing higher budget genre prolifications) more robust mid to late 90's PC RPG market. I've never delved deep into the VN VN/Rpg genre, but they tend to be some of the most expensive titles on the small deve / indie scene, likely indicating that genre fans find higher prices for the titles acceptable. That makes his price points weaker on his end than it seems to an American.ĭespite the relativly expensive nature of his games, I keep buying them. (May 28th, 2014) I believe it was around 1.5/1.6 for a long time. dollar weak enough to probably be factored into his price points.
If he manages to score a deal for still quality work on a contract.Īlso, a pricing factor is the cost of living and local business expenses in a first world Europeon country, and exchange rates make the U.S. He's a solo dev, so the only cost savings he gets on development costs are what he's willing to do, not what he and other dev assets are willing to do. On top of this, he's not shy about contracting for his work for a better quality product on his newer games. But his sales data and experience say that lower prices haven't generated more revenue for him. I do, personally, find WinterWolves games feeling expensive compared to similar titles that I often encounter, especially his earlier titles, like Spirited Heart.
I've been watching this one for awhile, and Kelso is pretty good about explaining how he's done things. I admit to being very curious about the Dev's pricing on Steam.
