Additional Info


Perks

Loyal Customer Discount Scheme: Repeat customers are entitled to 25% off of the initial platform fee.
Dev Support: Technical support may be provided by one of our Developers; if applicable. (platform export/porting, debugging etc)
Included Licenses: Indie Basic License is included with all budget based licenses.
Developer Builds: Commercial License holders are entitled to the latest (stable) developer builds of Visionaire Studio; as & when they are available.
Re-Branding: The Visionaire Studio Team can embed a custom icon & details into the game executable. You need to provide a png file for your game icon at 1024x1024px & various information such as game name (per available languages), company name & contact details such as: website & email address etc.


Available Platforms

Platform Targets Currently Available: Windows, Apple Mac, Linux. (iOS is in development, then hopefully android & linux)
Editor Currently Available For: Windows (apple mac is in development)


Compiled Game Executable

Quick note regarding the playable generic executable files you can compile via the Visionaire Studio Editor: the game executable you export may or may not meet the required standards for certain distribution platforms & services such as the Steam or Apple/Mac App stores. You may need to have a custom build done of your game & thus: you should contact us at least 2-3 months before your planned release date to see whether or not you need us to create a custom build for you or not.


Funding Solutions

Crowdfunding: funding solutions such as kickstarter & indiegogo are allowed to be used for funding your indie & commercial games. Having said that; if you raise €50k or over, then we consider you a commercial developer & would appreciate it, if you wouldn't mind purchasing whatever commercial licenses you may require - to show us a little support. This is of course completely up to you, but we hold high hopes in our - err... - hearts & minds, that you aren't all miserable stingy bugrits!


Misc Info

Please note that you will need to purchase the necessary commercial licenses if you are: wanting to release your game as a physical product in stores, sell your game for more than €15; digital or physical, are making your game for advertising purposes & or are being funded by a publisher, company or individual that has nothing to do with you or your own company etc.

Please note that the Visionaire Studio Licenses are only for Visionaire Studio itself & do not give you the right to distribute copyrighted materials, resources & media formats etc of which you don't have the permission or license for. i.e: if you want to use .mp3 for your audio, then you need to acquire a license from wherever it is; it's all a bit complicated. To avoid having to purchase additional licenses: we recommend using .ogg (vorbis) for your audio & .mkv (matroska) with VP8 WebM codec for your videos as they are both free to use commercially.

Budget based licenses have to be personally ordered through Marvel, at the minute.
