Today was thinking about which extras to put in the "deluxe version". So far I have:
- mp3 of the game custom tracks (not sure if I'll also add some royalty free ones but for those I can't redistribute the mp3)
- a wallpaper
and was thinking about some exclusive extra scenes in the game, though I'm not too sure about this. The deluxe version should be only a way to show me your support (some people wanted to) so I wanted to keep the base game (sold at normal price) with all the content. I was even thinking to make the "silly content" an exclusive of the deluxe version, since those are only jokes and not real game content :lol:
If you have any suggestion let me know!

Let's see...

- icons/avatars of the chibis, or characters.
- gallery devoted to sketches before the finished product or scenes/images that were cut.
- extra scenes...? Like, bonus ones that have no affect on Sin/Virtue - just fun stuff.
- Silly scenes (could be the 'extra scenes').
(Why am I suggesting stuff that just means MORE WRITING :lol: )
- discount/sneak peak for upcoming games...? a small demo?
- ability to change the character's outfit, so you can make Lora wear her dancing outfit regardless of the scene...?

Thanks for the suggestions. At this point since the time is running out will see what I can add to it :oops: mostly though will be a version only for those who wants to support me giving a bit extra, but probably that kind of stuff works better with a more complex game than Heileen 3, like a RPG or a more complex/detailed life sim like Spirited Heart 2.

Maybe even just some notes from the staff on how they liked working on the series and who they were drawn to character wise and why or something like that

Yes, some behind the scenes stuff is usually nice to have.

Oh of course, focus and getting the game all finished and ready to meet the public.

While you might be able to do more in terms of deluxe goodies for one of your RPG's, if you find the time to fit it in, a nice few extra for your other games would be nice as well, though like you mentioned, I am just happy to support your games I really like.

Perhaps you could make the ending scenes into unlockable wallpapers in the deluxe version? Though that might be tricky to fit in before the deadline too. Just a thought.

No unfortunately I can't, since they were drawn specifically at the screen size. Actually at 1024x768 (they were done long time ago before I decided to use 16:9 resolution).
