This feels more like it makes the original doc non-relevant than just "expands" on it.
What does the original Disk Masters document tell that these "expansions" don't retell? Feels more like a second edition than like expansions.
That’s a good point! Again this was super early in my design process so it’s a bit far back in my memory, but I think I’ll make the pricing reflect that from now on, or even hide the original game so that it stands as the basic game.
I plan on possibly revamping Disk Masters to address some issues it has, but my later games have that sort of edge that I think my earlier titles, as all early titles do, lack.
Thanks for your concerns! If you feel inclined to do so, please homebrew, add, or so anything you’d like if you decide to play it! That, or you can even release your own official expansion / homebrew with appropriate crediting!
Thanks for the comments, and Happy Halloween!
If you do revamp I'll gladly get it!
I just saw it seemed the expansions repeated the original doc, so it felt more like 2nd edition to me.
Wanted to know if I was missing anything. I do have stuff I'd change in spots, even arguably a couple of big bits, but, honestly I think I'd like to wait and see if anything more concrete comes about whethee or not you do in fact revamp before I publish any of it.
I'm under no delusion that any ideas I have would be beyond your ability to have, and I don't wanna risk people bein' mean to you if they find a thing I posted up after you do revamp and we just by coincidence thought similar on a few things.
As for hiding original, could maybe keep it as like a demodoc or somesuch, a "here's a purposely older/less refined version to help you decide if you want to buy" maybe, like a ttrpg "demo" in a sense.
Bah I don’t sweat people bein mean or rude! I know games mean a lot to people! I am a big fan of having community content like mods and such. Think like Skyrim abc how mods make that game eons better. Doesn’t mean people hate Skyrim, in fact I think it enhances it, and that’s how I view if anyone does any community content or homebrew with my games.
Also, after seeing people really liking Disk Masters but yearning for a bit more clarity and/or depth, I’m heavily considering a second edition now. Out of all my titles people seem to be passionate about this one the most, even if I consider it a sort of flawed, but cute and fun game I made.
I love getting these kinds of comments because it shows people care about what I make beyond a simple download. I would rather have someone have critiqued my game having read it than a passive download of appeasement.
Much love to you, and I hope you check out my other games! Wrath of the Undersea, Tales from the Aerosphere (minus one key mistake I made in lore explanations), and especially GRIM, my recent game! GRIM is by far my most polished game yet, so check that out if you snagged the bundle, or better yet, snag a community copy, or even better than that, purchase it 😂💛
