I remember Aaron mentioning that there would NEVER be a new pay-for version of SEIV after Gold... I hope they just mangled the name of SEIV Gold...

Levels and campaigns? Wow... These S1st people need to get their act together.

Nope. Tis SEIV Deluxe.

Coming to store shelves near you. And I will wage top dollar that no one who buys it who does not know about this forum will not find out about it unless by accident. The information here is on thin ice. Time to diversify the knowledge base.

I think you may have one too many "not"s in that sentence

Including all the tools eh?
I wonder if that means my stuff too?

I hope the acquisition means their problems with paying their developers are almost over.

I think that most of that was developers who did not understand the difference between a publisher like Shrapnel and one like Strategy First. Ones here complain about lack of shelfware or publicity, ones there complain about lack of payment. But a publisher that does online fills and marketing is instant profits. The one that does shelfware and paid ads means that the money for that has to be repaid before any profit checks. (marketing takes man hours, publicity takes $$$)

I think Aaron knows the difference though. Im guessing he is willing to take the long gap in order to try for a wider player-base. Im hoping that when he does, he shifts back since sequels dont have alot of justification in shelfware (unless that company considers him worth a pre-payment)

What is SEIV Deluxe? Is it worth buying it if you already have SEIV Gold and you're planning to buy SEV?

We don't know yet.

They didn't repackage Starfury so it might be something new, but it might not.

just think sj... if your tools are in the package... Your software will be at EB

Gandalf Parker · #18 May 20th, 2005, 11:02 AM

Well Strat-1st has already announced the release. Im guessing that anyone who hasnt already been contacted, maybe isnt going to be contacted. That doesnt necessarily mean that your stuff wont be included, just that Strat-1st doesnt feel a need to contact you about it.

After all, its not Shrapnel the indept-developer turned publisher and now the proud defender of the indept developer, the company which has already asked us all to participate in betas, in us all developing a new game, in producting a new magazine, etc etc etc.

GP you lost me. Its to early in the morning for my brain to be working. Sounds like your being sarcastic..... am I wrong? No offense.

Fyron · #20 May 20th, 2005, 01:35 PM

Aaron would still be the person putting together such a CD, not S1st... They would just print it and market it. I still think it is just a mislabeling of SEIV Gold...
