Desura Plans
Desura Plans
The team and I have talked at great length about this, and we feel that the best place to publish our game is on the great Desura service, not only because it allows us to roll out content and updates quickly and easily to players, but also because it allows us to make a little money on the side.
BUT FEAR NOT!
We at Cube Noir have no intention at all of fleecing you! Current plans are to sell Incursion at just 2 Pounds! That's around 3 Dollars 25, or 2 Euro 30! We are also planning to lower the price for pre-ordering to as low as 50 Pence! That's around 80 Cents or 60 Euro Cent!
That way, not only are we making some money from our hard work, but also giving players a very fair price at the same time.
Competition
Competition
Would you like to see your content in INCURSION? Well here's your chance. Currently we have two areas in which you can submit content to us. The first of these two is loading screen messages, for example;
Funny Loading Screens
Funny Loading Screens
After having implemented a new loading screen for caching content (in an effort to improve performance on low-spec machines), I decided it would be great to have something a little more interesting than "Loading..." displayed during this wait. So what we've done is added a very large number of funny little messages that will display at random on this screen, in an attempt to inject a little humour into the 8 seconds wait. See how much we love you guys?
To get your own message featured on this screen, just tweet a suggestion to us via twitter at @cubenoir.
Character Creation
Character Creation
The second area in which you can have your content featured is character creation! Just send us a picture of your character (could be a drawing or a graphic you've knocked up) along with a brief description to us via twitter at @cubenoir.
The top 10 loading screen messages and the top character will be featured in our game! The favourite loading message and the chosen character will also be gifted a game of their choice on Desura!
Competition closes on the 16th of June.
Desura is a great resource. I wish more mods would take advantage of it. Especially in the Steam age with games that are on that platform it is much easier to have Desura install it for you, but it is also a nice hub for indie games.
I'll see if I can't come up with something for the competition now :)
