Hello everyone...

I'm having troubles morally about if I should eventually make The Infinitide paid or keep it free. Atm, I don't have a problem with it being free as I don't have too many expenses that require a game's income to cover but I could also use any income for things in life like my family, the house, other things... Life is rough rn.

Anyway, I just want your opinion on if I should keep if free or have it paid. The price will be reasonable of course—not too expensive but just enough for reasonable income that would be of use for me. I can't give an estimate of the price as I've never actually priced anything I sold before surprisingly... But I'll figure it out. But for now I just want to know what y'all think. I'm sure you'll be understanding if it needs to be paid for but if I didn't need the money I would make it free... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO 😭

Okay, well, can't wait to see what you all think. It'll really encourage me if you give your opinion, no matter what it is. I just want to know that the game idea is interesting and worth doing. Thanks.

I'm actually considering just doing donations instead. Thanks for your advice friends. But don't stop voting because i said this.

Wow!! :D

Great! 👍

...but i would save that money for something else, or more important, as in not ready to accept payment yet. I have to figure out other things first. :|

i think right now it might not be such a sought after game where people would pay for it since youre not too big of a creator but once you start getting a bunch of players and maybe release a sequel of the game or like really upgrade it or something then you can add a price tag though for now i guess just donations is good :3c

As a developer, manager, and accountant, I already know what to do. I'd start the development and make the first release free, both to help test it and allow time for then to get a feel for it and experience it for themselves so they'll have a reason to share it with others as a game worth playing. Then, I'd make it paid once it's popular enough that they'd be willing to pay for it. Ofc, I'd make a way to make it fair to those who have to pay when there's people who didn't have to in the beginning. I think i already have an idea. This ofc will only matter if i do end up making it paid. But since both the option for just donations is the majority and i feel that's the best way to go anyway, it'll likely not be paid anyway. Even though it'll be optional and I could ask for donations to begin with, I'll still wait as i would if it were paid. I still want them to have a reason to donate too.

And ftr, i don't do sequels on games just to solve problems or gain more following or income. That's how I'm doing it. That's what companies like Nintendo do and i don't want to look like them in the eyes of the users and it just feels a little unmoral anyway.

I appreciate the advice, but I'm always one step ahead. ;)
