I prefer sequels to be able to stand alone to a certain degree rather than being literally the second or third part to the same story. I think I would also rather play the game in one hit.

My two cents. No matter how you end up releasing it, I will purchase all parts of it, whether they be three or one.

My two cents.

Hook 'em, then charge 'em. I like it! I'm thinking now that even if I were to release the game in three parts, I wouldn't want to release the first part until I knew that the rest wouldn't be too far behind. So really, it wouldn't get the game into players' hands too much earlier. I guess it wouldn't be worth what it would cost in terms of quality to break it up. The ol’ bait-n-switch eh?

Kind of the classic shareware model used by DOOM and other games. If you gave away Part 1 and offered the next two for sale, that might work.

And I think most people will agree with me on that! And also I think, because you said the first part is mainly just introducing the characters and what comes after is the meat, then how would you go about selling it? I would rather see the game as one whole game and wait than get 3 games just to get to play it quicker. And I think if you did release it in 3 parts we would play the first part and just get more annoyed by having to wait for the next part to be able to continue playing the game. With Daves case I believe Blackwell Unbound has an "end" to it, while your parts would be a "to be continued" thing :P. I wont mind waiting for 1 full release!

Blackwell Unbound was originally a flashback section of Convergence, but I split it apart and made it a seperate game because I wanted to get a game out faster. It turned out that the story worked out much better as a stand-alone! If you feel that splitting up your game will achieve something similar, then by all means do it. You’d be surprised, Vince.

I'd still prefer one complete release, though. Hey, I waited for QFG2VGA, I can wait for this!

As for Resonance, being the old-fashioned man I am, I wouldn't mind waiting for one whole game in one installment. I really think that episodic works (storywise at least) when the plot ties between parts are loose. Then again, I won't complain either way.
