Thanks, Becky!

Thanks, Becky

Very nice... Ethereal Darkness with your game..It looks good !!!

I wonder ...Will it be out on hard copy?

Thanks Becky!

Ana

Thanks Becky, It sounds interesting & I've just sent off an E-mail to see whether they may produce a disc version or if you can make a back-up copy on disc without 'future permission' to play.

Thanks Becky


BTW, what was their first title? I am at the page but see no mention of previous games?

Hi raylin -- it was an RPG called Morning's Wrath.

Here's a Gameboomer review of Morning's Wrath that includes a little about the developers.

I had a nice E-mail back from the developers - they have no plans to produce a disc version, as they didn't find it cost effective for their 1st game, but you can make a back-up disc that won't need activation in the future.

This may be an issue for players who like to sell games on, but good news for anyone that likes to hang on to them! So any disc versions offered for sale on e.g. E-bay will obviously be pirated copies!

Thanks Chrissie!

Ana

Thanks for checking that out, chrissie!

Im going to try the demo see how I go on

I tried the Demo and I liked it. I actually was able to get through it without too much trouble. That's a good thing for me. I think I may get the full game, but still thinking about it. Dragon let me know what you thought of the Demo. Has any started playing the full game yet? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I played the demo to the end and it was fun. Waiting to see comments on the whole game too, before I buy.

Greetings all!

It's great to be here yet again, with another game under our belt, I have a lot of fond memories chatting with you guys when we released Morning's Wrath.

So to solidify some questions, we don't have any plans for hard copies (the overhead is a bit too great); but we also have no DRM mechanisms, or activation codes. So feel free to copy the game to whatever media you like for your own use.

I'm glad to see people are enjoying the demo, it was cut a bit short compared to the full game and doesn't contain a lot of story, but it gives a good feel of the gameplay and the controls.

We have a lot of sites currently reviewing the game so hopefully there will be some reviews out soon;

Not to steal Malathedras' thunder, but for those of you who enjoyed Morning's Wrath, our next game in development is Morning's Wrath 2 so be sure to watch www.edigames.com for news on that (current site is http://www.edigames.com/mwcotn , should be more info there soon)

Anyhow feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and I hope you all enjoy Malathedra!

Hi Raymond, good to see you again! Thanks for the info and it's great to hear you are already in development with Mornings Wrath 2.

Ana

Hi Raymond! It's great that you've given us an adventure this time.

Hi

Thank you Ethereal Darkness and Becky !!

This sounds very temptingly like my kind of game.

I'm off to check it out

EDIT :
LOVE it !!!! Will be making my purchase later this evening

Cheers.

Pity it won't be released on CD-ROM. I think "cost-effectiveness" shouldn't be the only consideration though. Many gamers prefer a "hard" copy, and even some won't buy a game that is only downloadable. I myself am very happy with releases like for example The Color of Murder, which came in a nice dvd box. And with a game creator (or team) who informs his gamers/buyers by e-mail about what is happening. Making games is, as a famous developer often says, also about building a community of gamers that is interest in your games and that will buy the games.

Martinc -- to each his own decisions about financial risk! I have some stock in Global Crossings before they went bankrupt that I can sell you.

There's plenty of community here for developers who create these wonderful games for us. Download or otherwise. Perhaps if the game sells well as a download, it will be possible eventually to have a CD version. By downloading it now, you may make that future a possibility.

Hi martinc, I too prefer to buy hard copies as I don't like keeping large file games on my system, preferring to copy them to disc to keep for replay in the future. What I don't like with this is that with some games you can only reinstall them via 'activation' from the developers/publishers website which may no longer exist by that time & I won't buy them unless they are very cheap!

But with this game you can copy the game to disc to play in the future - no strings attached! Okay you don't get the nice DVD box but I have to agree with Becky - if enough people buy the downloadable version from a small developer like this then maybe they can stretch to disc versions in the future.

I also don't think you will have any problems re E-mail contact with these developers!

I hope they do change their minds about the hard disc, because I'd like to play it. Their RPG had lots of fun adventury bits and I really enjoyed it. With their first game ( RPG) effort, they were an unknown asking a high price in a very tough market.

Hi nickie, it's a little difficult for me to judge as games cost quite a lot more in the UK - do you think their asking price of $19.95 is too much for a download? The exchange is not so good at the mo but it's still a low price to pay for us over in the UK if you can copy the game to disc.

Hi Nickie,

long time no see, out of curiosity why would us not having a hard copy deter you, since we have no DRM and are fine with your making hard copies for yourself.

For us to be able to make hard copies cost effective we'd have to sell for a much higher price (29.95 like Morning's Wrath originally was for hard-copy) to help cover the production and shipping overhead.

How large is the download?
And do they let you retry if you have a rotten broadband connection that is apt to give out on you mid-download?
