How much are you willing to pay for additional Demigods ? And how fast should they come?

How much are you willing to pay for additional Demigods ? And how fast should they come?

We get two for free anyway, so the starting roster is 10 demigods.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that:

  • all connectivity problems are solved
  • player base is high enough to provide fast matching
  • all major bugs have been taken care of
  • the game is reasonably balanced (which in my opinion it already is)

Also, we all enjoy the game.

 

In the hopes that GPG isn't abandoning Demigod in favor of supcom2 or something else, how willing are you to fork over your cash in order to get more DGs of a quality similar to the original ones ?

(US-Dollars. Assume the dollar remains stable.) ;)

Note: According to GPG according to  a comment, the development of a new Demigod from scratch is supposed to cost GPG $100,000 (source: he-said-he-said-they-said). It will certainly get cheaper if GPG streamlines their efforts to generate new DG content, but even so they have to earn money.

Acceptable price for new demigods:

  1. 1$ per demigod
  2. 2$ per demigod
  3. 3$ per demigod
  4. 4$ per demigod
  5. 5$ per demigod (this equates to 40$ for a gang of 8, costing as much as the original game)
  6. Even more !!

 

Also, what would be the most sensible way to release the new creations ?

Release format for new Demigods:

  1. Single demigods (release as soon as one is ready)
  2. Paired demigods (one light, one dark)
  3. 4 demigods ("typical" size of something you'd expect for downloadable content)
  4. 8 demigods or more (a full fledged expansion)

Updated Current result (#141):

Surprisingly this thread got revived and offered nearly 20 new identifyable votes.

Like always, the current result required a bit of an interpretation effort on my part: For example, a decent sized expansion gets interpreted as 4 demigods and a full expansion as  demigods, however phrased.

The dislike of the downloadable-content model persists. Although it's not quite clear to me what the factual difference is between a 4-DG DLC for 5$ per DG and an expansion pack containing 4 DGs for 20$-25$. I suppose it's the fear of the legendary "horse-armor".

Acceptable price for new demigods:

0$: 5
1$: 2
2$: 5
3$: 9
4$: 8
5$: 19
X$: 3

Incidentally, if you want to discuss LoL or HoN (which we're fine with) please do so in the off-topic area.

Shade: Mind sending me a PM w/ a link of where it sez it's cool to chat about HoN outside of their forums? I'd hate to get myself into trouble here.

It says it here: http://beta.heroesofnewerth.com/main.php

A HoN thread in this forum (in the off topic section) can be found here: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/359625

Personally I don't see HoN as a threat to Demigod. It will draw players from the DotA fanbase, but GPG managed to build a completely new and gorgeous game inspired by DotA - while HoN is merely a DotA-clone with slightly better graphics.

Nevertheless, Demigod could implement some HoN features. Like, say, more Demigods? O:)

You know, I find it harder and harder to play any game that doesn't have full-zoom now. Damn you, Frogboy! Damn you and your brilliant camera! :P

If we're not allowed to trash Stardock for any gameplay mechanics, we probably shouldn't praise them for it either.
