Mobile Weapon Episode 1: Premium is done. There no need for a release date. It's done, completed, and sitting in the hard-drive of TY's computer.
What are we waiting for? Well we're trying to get the answers to a few of your most burning questions:
1) Will I need to start from scratch if I upgrade to premium?Ans: Not if we get the server-side save ready. We'll put it up ASAP, you guys will need to complete the game and then register to save on the server. We'll need to do testing so we're sure the thing won't crash when more than 10 people try to save at the same time.
2) How can I buy the Premium version and how much will it cost?Ans: We're setting up a Paypal page where you can buy it and recieve a registration key and a download URL. You'll probably need a use a credit card to pay for that unless you got some money in Paypal through some other means.
Shortly after, the game will be available on other sites that our Publisher has deals with. If they have alternative payment methods for those of you without access to a credit card, I'll be sure to let you guys know. However if you buy through the publisher or other sites, we only get 30% of whatever you pay.
We're looking at pricing the game at US$15.95. We checked and most of the games at Yahoo games cost US$19.99 and the more popular titles cos more than 20 bucks.
3) SO WHEN WILL IT BE OUT!?Ans: Sunday.
*Update 27/1
We'll enable online server save for the online version next week or later. So if you buy premium this Sunday you'll have to start from scratch.
