DMSI next version ideas

[Shannon]

Damn, I feel ripped off! I though since I buy the test version I would get the working version as free updates. Now you are saying that there will be a totally new version and it cost probably more than version 2.3...

It feels like false advertising because on the product's info page there was not any information about this...

It is like buying a game that is in beta development and then a game developer says, sorry guys you need to buy a complete version of this game again...

How much the version 3.0 would cost?

You can relax. Shannon stated already in another thread, that further versions will be free until there is a working version.

Acmiesto, there are a few things you should consider.

First, I have a business to run here, and in order for it to stay afloat, people have to buy something. But this process is a lengthy one, and I can't make it go faster than it is going. If I am focused on DMSI, then it means I can't just work for months on end with no income. The bills have to be paid, both business and personal, to keep this operation afloat while I develop this to it's final form.

Second, by charging for the beta, I am weeding out those people who aren't serious enough, and encouraging those who buy it to both use it and participate in giving feedback by getting them invested.

Thirdly, the price it is currently going for is probably 1/2 to 1/3 what the final price will be when it's a fully working version, and perhaps even less. It would be a no brainer to pay $300 to $500 for a copy of DMSI version whatever, if it was producing the design goal results. So...

You pay $115 for a copy to get in on testing. You test it, and get all upgrades for free after that, including the final fully working version. You pay for the rest of the cost of the final program with your time and feedback. In the end, you save a lot of money in exchange for having helped me test and refine it, and everybody wins.
