Digini will also offer a variety of additional products and services beyond the core subscription service. These include, but are not limited to:
- Asset Packs – including content that Blade3D users can use, without limitation, in their game creations. Asset packs may include as little as a single model, character or set of textures – all the way up to a complete scene with all of the assets needed for a specific type of game environment. Asset packs will vary in price from as low as $0.99 to $49.95 or more, depending on the volume of content.
- Feature Packs – including additional sets of features to completely customize your game development environment. Feature Packs may include things like new shaders, alternate physics models or even complete game packs – with all of the functionality needed to start making a strategy game, role playing game, racing game, action game, or arcade/casual game. Feature Packs will vary in price from as low as $4.95 to $49.95 or more, depending on the level of functionality and complexity.
- Value Added Services – including access to source code, dedicated training and on-site support. Interested Game Developers and Publishers should contact Sales@Digini.com regarding the pricing for Value Added Services.
Pricing for the education market:
