Hello all.
I’ve been willing to throw a few bucks at John for a couple weeks, but I do cringe a lot over the tremendous $25 shipping costs for a hardback.
So I considered the digital tier, although its lacking U’duasha is indeed a bit depressing. The Tinkerer may be fine, but I don’t really feel like I will hack the game a lot (plus, stretch goals already provided us with multiple settings and hacks by themselves, making for years of play), so again it’s a question of 25 dollars for the additional city alone.
You might say I don’t need U’duasha. Hell, if we go down that particular road, I probably don’t need the game. But John mentioned he could make U’duasha and its maps available as an add-on at some point so, with 18 hours to go, I thought I might just ask.
There was also word that U’duasha would be made available for free once the game releases, or during the KS survey, or whatever. Maybe it’s licence-related stuff. Nothing is very clear regarding this, I must say I’m confused.
Do you guys have any advice, besides “go for the damn $75”, which my current situation definitely doesn’t allow?
I had to enquire about a second matter : are translations already in the works? And if not, what would it take to start one, licensing particulars and so on? The CC status of BitD makes me wonder how it would stand commercially to handle the, say, French translation and selling of the game. Although I’m pretty sure others have had this very thought long ago.
Thank you in advance for your kind answers.
