Last that I heard, there was going to be two versions- one commercial and the other freeware/shareware.

Gesundheit.

Yup, it's going to be something like that, but first we're going to finish R4.

Ok thanks, I can't wait

Neither can I. 

I don't get it, What's the difference between the commercial and the freeware one?

Will they both be moddable?

The difference is that the commercial are for consoles, Just like doukutsu monotagari, Commercial for PSP And free for PC and yes it will be moddable

Actually, we were thinking more along the lines of extra levels & characters for the commercial version.

published by Goat, right?

Possibly, but not necessarily. Until a contract has been signed, anything can happen.

Oh you haven't sign contract yet? I thought you have

I think the people who published Last Hope did a much more professional job and are much more effect at marketing your game.

redspotgames are terrible. High price and bad cover art. They tried to do it like it was an official game.
GOAT forever.

I thought the cover art for Last Hope looked pretty good. It didn't seem to have anything to do with the game, though...

Maybe the Europe & Japan release can be handled by them where as Goat Store can take America.

Commercial games are released by diffrent publishers across region for example Eidos publishes Capcom Dreamcast games in UK.

Guys,

I've been reading this topic and got curious...
How does it work?

Do Senile Team profits are considered in percent related to the ammount of copies sold?
I mean, "n %" for each copy OR that contract grants you an certain value DESPITE number of sold copies?

Gt.

I can't reveal any details, but I can say that it's based on percentages.

And will be both versions (commercial and freeware) Open Source?

Gt.

None of our games are true open source projects, not even Beats of Rage. The source code for Beats of Rage was made available almost immediately after its release, but it was developed as a closed source project. For AotB, we won't be able disclose the source code too early, as we'd essentially be throwing away our own merchandise. As for the time it takes until it's not "too early" any more, we'll just have to wait and see.

I can't wait for the release of AotB. I will buy it as soon as it comes out.
