Price poll


The issue of pricing is very important for us and very complex at the same time.

The closer the release is, the more our team thinks about the price of the game.

The amount of content of the game leads to problems not only at the development stage - but also in setting the price for the game.

Most otome games cost $5 - $10 and players are used to this price, but the volume of such games is significantly (3 times or so) less than ours.

And also the sales of the first routes will directly affect the content and speed of the next ones.

No matter how much we love Degraman and work, we still need to eat.

But we are also afraid that the players will simply not understand why the game costs so much.

And we again appeal to you, our players.

In general, we want to ask you something. Imagine that you've seen our trailer - https://youtu.be/EhGTp6XpH90, seen the description of the game, found out that the game will have 3 routes, 20+ hours of gameplay, 80 CGs, 50+ BGs.

How much would you be willing to pay for such a game?

Take the following anonymous survey plz. Only we will see its results.

P.S. The special question: How do you evaluate whether the price of the otome game is fair? By the number of routes, hours of play, <wtf>CGs</wtf>, reviews, letsplays, or something else?

I’d say 20$ is what I’d put as the price tag of such a ”lengthy” VN. Personally I’d pay any price for the right game.. however, realistically speaking, 20$ is what fans’d pay, methinks.  ❤️

Heck I've replayed the demo like 10 times already. Wallet wise I can pay $20 tops maybe $30 but that's a stretch.

If money wasn't an inhibitor for me because of the routes ,hours and eye candy I'd say $50.

Visually anything over $20 usually has me running for the hills and looking in the other direction.

I don't usually spend money on games.

I found you through Google play. Your picture drew me in and the intrigue of the story wouldn't let me go so here I am 6 months having gone by excited to see each and every update. 

Yay! We're happy that inspired you so much, that you are ready to pay, even that much :3

For me, the amount of content and whether the games looks like something I will want to play over and over again always determines how much I'm willing to pay. There's been a lot of ~AAA~ games that cost $60+ but have main campaigns that are done in 30 hours or less if you rush, so I never pay full price for them anymore.  Otome games with branching choices have a greater amount of replayability and the amount of content is always worth paying more for. Plus, you're supporting indie developers who put out far more creative content than bigger studios these days. This is a very long way of saying, based on the trailer and the sheer volume of content that you're putting in, I'd pay whatever you want!

Yay! The last sentence is just music to our ears :3
