Will AVWW get expansions?
« on: May 04, 2012, 10:03:34 am »
I was wondering if it's too early to tell or not if AVWW is going to get expansion support down the road? Normally I wouldn't ask this publicly on a forum, but I know Arcen is really transparent so I thought it wouldn't hurt to at least ask. :)

I've been a fan of AI Wars and I love how new content keeps coming out for that game. That being said, I think the type of game AVWW is just screams for added content. I think added content to this title is even a bigger bang for the buck, so I really hope the game is doing well and that we'll see continued support and expansions for it down the road. Even the addition of explosive espers in the 1.1 patch was like "Oh wow, neat!".

So... fingers are crossed sales are satisfactory and some full-fledged expansions or DLC will be coming!

It's been said that AVWW will get expansions if enough people get it, and I think someone (Chris?) said that so far AVWW had earned 1/9th of what AI War and all its expansions have earned, so... yeah, I think the odds are in our favour!

Yeah, basically what Toll said. So far, we're happy with sales, and as long as things go well, our plan is absolutely to make expansions for the game. But, that's still a while down the road before that happens.

Yea, I remember him saying that, which is why I thought I'd ask and see how sales were looking (it's probably too early to tell, but you never know. I'm not a businessman). I know they started out strong, but some games are a flash in the pan, some are slow steady burners, etc.

Given sales to date I'd be shocked if there were no expansions.

Tch.  This is Arcen.  They'll still be making content for AVWW fifty years from now! ;)
