[QUOTE="Xanija, post: 233005, member: 2707"] Totally agree with Chris about the pricing issue with Pro Pinball. There's no way I will pay €15 for one table. No matter how much in development a product will cost, there is a price you can ask for. People don't care how expensive development was. They are looking at the product and ask themselves, whether the game is worth the price it's asked for. Anything else is not relevant. As a developer/publisher you need to find the price at which you will generate the most revenue. I don't think €15 is that price. It should definitely below the €10 / $10 mark. About the TotM: I was quite happy doing the software for the TotM and I think with the number of tournaments we've had, the development time has paid off. As you both mentioned in the podcast, the whole program is heavily customized for this tournament, due to the many rules as well as the group creation etc. So if you want to move on to a complete different format, it might be worth checking the PinPortal or any other Software and create the tournament with one of the formats that are already supported rather than thinking about a format and then trying to make any software work for your format. I'm sure when you started the whole thing you didn't know what would hit you when doing the calculations after the first tournament ;-) I can't guarantee I have the time, energy and motivation to build something new from scratch. Especially since I lost some interest in TPA/ZEN during the last few months. I'm still playing, but not as enthusiastic as I used to. [/QUOTE]
