Title: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: SuperNova on November 27, 2009, 08:22:58 AM
the idea of bringing US sandbox to the stores is a pretty good idea.
more people will play it, and its like 25$ and it would look like this

(SuperNova™)
a pair of glasses is stored inside, together with the CD


don't you think it would be awsome?

don't say: ''Dan needs....to do this'' or ''it can't'' or ''it will never happen''
i'm just asking if you like the idea

nice idea! it looks nice and it would probally sell well as it looks like it might be a "must have" for all scientists  :D

How about making it like a box, instead of a jewel case? Because glasses cannot fit in there.

Why not a box? It looks cooler.

Even it is a CD it will need to buy your license.
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: deoxy99 on November 27, 2009, 04:44:53 PM
You just need to pay, it has the code on the box.

i present the Universe Sandbox Giga Pack!
it has:

i don't know how much it would be...
if you look at the list, how much do you think it would be? (not under 25$ cause the normal CD is that much)

I think you've made some very nice graphics. It looks great, but we can't just ignore the problems.

Hi, I'm Deoxy99, and the box was my idea.

yeah only the box, not the CD's, Instruction Book, and design
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: atomic7732 on November 28, 2009, 11:08:40 AM
Maybe $40? and equivalent.
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: deoxy99 on November 28, 2009, 05:51:37 PM
No, that is too much. Maybe 20 dollars?
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: qwew80 on November 28, 2009, 07:04:00 PM
No, it needs to be more than $25.
$35? and merge the normal and alpha disks
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: deoxy99 on November 28, 2009, 07:16:27 PM
26 dollars. There.

No, it needs to be more than $25.
$35? and merge the normal and alpha disks

No, its Beta.
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: monmarfori on November 28, 2009, 07:45:12 PM
$1000?
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?

$1000?

That would be the price of a TV.

$50? And technicaly, it's alpha

Post by: deoxy99 on November 28, 2009, 08:29:11 PM
Dan Dixon calls it BETA.
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: SuperNova on November 29, 2009, 02:15:50 AM
you guys don't get it, do you?
the normal and beta can't be merged
there is only 1 UniverseSandboxSetup.exe on the CD.
or Dan must make a .exe that installs both (that is impossible)

It's not impossible. You just need to load the files of both together in different folders. Then the installation accesses the first folder, installs the files in that folder on the computer, and then install the files in the other folder on the computer.

How about the 3rd file?

Post by: deoxy99 on November 29, 2009, 05:17:04 PM
How about making the box sleeker and more shiny and adding a greyish sheen and adding detail to the instruction booklet and adding pictures on the back of the box and the booklet?
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: monmarfori on November 29, 2009, 10:32:59 PM
Not possibly.

how about: MAKE IT YOURSELF!!!
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?
Post by: atommo999 on December 17, 2009, 09:37:43 AM
totally agree. it might be easier if you just bought a license card from a store a bit like runescape. then the card would have a activation code on it that would be scratch off and you could use as many times as you like. also it would come with 3d glasses stuck on the back. a lot cheaper than making an entire box of discs in.then it would be like paying $25 online but younger people could buy it because it wouldnt need a credit card  :)

How about a Java application that is online?

Really interesting idea. Thanks for sharing it. The image is great.

While I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a boxed copy, digital distribution is pretty awesome.

How about a Java application that is online?

It's a good idea, if only I had more time. I've got to ship version 2 first. :)

Is this real or what? This is supposed to do what for me, and how?
Title: Re: Universe Sandbox: in stores?

I was showing you what it could look like.
P means Properties.
S means Save.
L means Load.
D means Download.
Planet means presets.
Top Left Box is physical settings:
Time Step:
Self-Explanitory
Auto System:
Auto System, self-explainitory

The Gravity Constant
Total Mass:
All the mass in the system
Quality:
Low, Medium, High, Ultra

By the way, I think primitive, not realistic, when quick sketching.

That's very cool deoxy99.

If only we had the resources to begin this project. :)

I think this idea should be looked back on, even though I don't really approve.

No, you should ship out Universe Sandbox 2 then the first one! Okay?

That wouldn't work because US gets lot,s of updates and I don't think you can update disks.

So if i get a game, lets say battlefield 4 on a ps4 on a disk, are you saying i won't be able to update the game?
