New features after release
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 5:42 am
With the 1.98 update, we have gotten closer to the release. In other words, version 1.98 is very close to being a release candidate.
As discussed on the Marketing Suggestions forum (http://www.capitalismlab.com/forum/view ... f=15&t=823), we may experiment with the idea of letting users vote for the new feature they like to see the most after the release and we may implement it if we have the resources.
Whether we could successfully receive the resources we need to implement the new features depends on your help to promote the game - may see the Marketing Suggestions forum for more details on this http://www.capitalismlab.com/forum/view ... f=15&t=823. For instance, if the sale of Cap Lab reached 10,000 copies (assuming selling at the full price of $19.99 at Enlight's own web store where we receive 90% of the paid price, the target sale quantity will need to be higher if the price is discounted or selling on third-party sites), we will be in a position to recoup most of our original development cost of Cap Lab and thus allow us to invest into developing new features.
After the first new feature, we will set the next sale milestone for the second new feature. The milestone setting will depend on the cost of developing the first new feature. If it is more expensive, the milestone target will be higher (e.g. 2nd milestone = 12,000 copies sold in total). Conversely, if it is less expensive, the milestone target will be lower (e.g. 2nd milestone = 10,500 copies sold in total).
You may contribute by recommending CapLab to your friends, writing reviews for it on game sites. Slowly, your contribution will help CapLab achieve the sale milestone, which will in turn make the implementation of new features possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We will periodically update this post to give an idea about how close we are to the milestone target (e.g. less than 10% of the milestone, reached 10% of the milestone, reached 20% of the milestone and etc)
Cap Lab sale update as of end of Nov 2012: we have sold close to 900 units of pre-orders of Cap Lab (less than 10% of the milestone.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So here it goes the first poll on this.
It is the first attempt on such efforts. So any suggestions are welcome.
