Pirate King pack?!

[UmSpagett]

Can anyone explain to me why the dlc for this game is so insanely expensive? 400 bucks for the pirate king pack?!

It's a kickstarter equivalent dlc with extremely little benefit apart from supporting the dev.

So many people bought them that it was slowing down game development per dev.

(Basically the DLCs come with various level of fan made creative added to the game and at the original price point it was all they were doing.)

Those DLC's aren't literally DLC though. You're not downloading anything extra :)

[UmSpagett]

400 bucks though? A bit much, yeah?

[TimeNinja]

its not DLC, its a "become part of the gameworld" kickstarter reward tier.

Exactly not DLC, you get to create your own pirate king, it was a presteam crowd fudn raiser thing tons of games on steam have/had them just never seen one keep it when they went to steam. Like I think my name is one or two games I got before they hit steam in some giant wall of text thank you thing that sounded neat but no one reads since its quite long now.

Only other one I know who may still do it or did was Kenshi had one for like 2 grand you could make you won nation with him or something like that, maybe it was one grand. There was a name and give input on your on city, and some cheap make your own chars to have show up randomly in the game as hirablle pack as well he kept around but you had to do it via email with paypal never seen it done on steam itself...

Oh and it still sells the dev said updates are slowing down becuase of people paying for these packs, that is why the price skyrocketed and some one out there is still gonna pay lol. But he stated he was getting spamed hard with people upgrading so they could get their own custom chars into the mix that any one can get.

Cool idea. First time seeing something like this.

JW does anyone know if they are related to the devs of Prison Architect?

No guy worked for the company that made bioshock, His last project before he quit was he worked on bioshock infitnite not lead guy though proably jsut a code monkey for them. He got permision from PA to use similar art style becuase he wanted to keep the imagination high in this game but not make it dwarf fortress ugly. And the no arm and legs sprites was a great choice lets you imagine your cyborg or scared up colonist in more detail since I can't seem some cheesy leg or arm rendering or a high deff one that leaves nothing t othe imigantation.

Its was all a design choice to help you imagine more.

Thanks for that information man! I thought it resembled PA a lot. Wasn't 100% sure.

Regardless I think Im gonna get it. Looks fking sick.
