The great news is that we only need to sell our bodies only once to get that 10 dollars.
You have eye cancer graphics.
Nothing stopping Styg from offering the game at a normal price and an alternative dev support price, several games are doing exactly that these days.
The other possibility for support is always to get two copies and make some beggars in Giftstravaganza happy.
There's about 200 new areas, as well as lots of new dialog and lore. It's not quite as big as the base game, but I can't think of any modern DLC that comes close to the size of Expedition.
Maybe once we're done expanding the game in this or that way - then it might make sense to make one ultimate version with some bonus material for the collectors.
WTF Styg, I would easily pay twice that price! And I'm a resident of a fucked-up third world country. You don't like my money?
But seriously, do you have any reason to choose this value? I'm thinking it's really pretty cheap for the amount of content you seem to be offering.
I appreciate the sentiment and I'm sure that many of the monocled people feel the same, but keep in mind that you guys are a global minority.
The price of the base game is not what I believe the game to be worth, but what I decided would be passable regarding the audio-visual production values and the state of the game market at the time of release (the base game used to be $10 in alpha, some of you may remember, before it was bumped up on release) and I think I ultimately made the right decision there financially. And, as someone suggested, $10 for a DLC is pretty much the highest you can reasonably go for a game that only costs $15.
In the future we might explore options for people who want to pay more just out of appreciation of our work, but for now we're content with people purchasing the game at full price.
No.
I'm not sure how long a regular playthrough might take, but I would be surprise if it's not at least 20 hours. Also, there's value to replaying the expansion as well.
There will be more regular (free) updates to the base game in the future (some of the work has already been done), as well as at least one more paid DLC. I'll write more about our future plans once the DLC is out.
Some of the content might be a bit too easy for you at that level, but it should become challenging near the end of it.
One can always buy more copies of your game, even buy it at several places (I assume you get the same amount whether we buy it on GOG or on Steam) so I don't think that something like this is necessary. And yeah, 10$ for a DLC for a game like yours seems optimal, especially considering that it's a middle game expansion so we'll have to play the game from the start again to see new content.
Goddammit! Looks like I won't be able to start the damn game for a definitive playthrough until 2022!

Woah, even Blood and Wine? Haven't played Witcher 3 but from second-hand accounts it seems that one is touted as a whole new game being sold as a DLC by general audience.
Got ninja'd by commie, but fuck it!
A new expansion planned for 2022 release, bros!

Can't wait to psi punch my way to supremacy again.
ATOM did this, with the Supporter Pack. I'm not telling you to do this, or at least not literally the same way, but it's an idea. Put some high-resolution wallpapers, some conceptual arts or PDFs with curiosities of things from the creation/design of the game, maybe some other extras and done.

what is this? Triple A faggotry
jokes aside, first we hope you guys love it and appreciate the work we put in, there is going to be a complete version with the base game and for the future we will see. We just don't have time for those things to be at a good quality until the release, rather test the game out so there are no terrible bugs.
We appreciate if you guys spread the word, like, subsc... (leave a positive review) and the most important enjoy our game
Harr, I guess I still gotta wait a little longer until I can finally jump into this game.

Styg: "....at least one more paid DLC"
People who was thinking that they will playing final version of the game this summer without waiting another couple of years: "Fuck."
Me, while planing my next playthrough: "Jokes on you, that means one more reason to replay game later, Hell, maybe final DLC will be on my retirement."

So, Extreme Ultimate Editor's Edition when?

As glad as I am to see this, I want to ask about the potential sequel. Seeing as how the first ends, timeframe wise, you think you could ballpark when a sequel would begin production?
Soooo naive...
There is, at least, cyberpunk 2077 in 2020.
Styg, of course, man of steel, have balls hard as diamond and hand blessed by Jesus himself...
But i don't think he ignore this product.
So its 2023 more likely.
offtopic:
Hey Styg, do you wait CP2077?
No, but we will talk a bit more about our short and medium-term plans after the DLC is released.
