GameGuru MAX DLC Restructure - All New Prices Coming Soon!
Revamping Our DLC: Community‑Driven Packs at Half the Price
[p] [/p][p]When we first started to introduce Model Packs as DLC for GameGuru MAX, the goal was to give developers quick access to high‑quality art, sound, and effects so they could spend more time building worlds and less time hunting for resources. Over the past few years, that vision has blossomed into a vibrant ecosystem powered almost entirely by community members, who pour countless hours into crafting assets that inspire, empower, and elevate games of every scale.[/p][p]Today, we’re excited to announce a major restructuring of the way we do this that puts that community spirit front and centre, while also delivering a bold price reduction: most asset packs will now be priced at roughly 50 % of their previous cost.[/p][p]Below, we’ll walk through why we made this change, what it means for creators and developers alike, and how you can get the most out of the new model.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Why Restructure?[/h3][p]1. Community First, Profit Second[/p][p]By lowering prices, we lower the barrier for indie teams, hobbyists, and students to experiment with premium‑grade assets—ultimately expanding the audience that can benefit from community work.[/p][p]2. Simplified Pricing Tiers[/p][p]Previously, each pack carried its own pricing logic, called Booster, Asset, and Mini-Kit, at fixed prices. The new system allows artists themselves to decide on the content and value of their creations, providing more flexibility and freedom to creators and more choice to users.[/p][p]3. Fairer Revenue Distribution[/p][p]With reduced prices, we have increased the royalty rate to all DLC creators to 70%, with the remaining 30% paid as commissions to help prepare and manage the Steam listings. DBS now only make revenue on core product sales. This ensures that the community continues to earn sustainably, encouraging all the talented artists out there to contribute fresh packs.[/p][p][/p][h3]Community Creations[/h3][p]Every single DLC currently available is community‑created. That means:[/p]- [p]Authentic Diversity: The range of themes reflects the varied styles and cultural backgrounds of our global creator base.[/p]
- [p]Rapid Innovation: Community creators iterate quickly, responding to trends and feedback far faster than traditional pipelines.[/p][p][/p]
- [p]Budget‑Friendly Prototyping: Build proof‑of‑concepts or early demos without draining funds.[/p]
- [p]Scalable Production: As projects grow, upgrade to higher‑tier packs for richer content while staying within budget.[/p]
- [p]Support the Creators: Even at reduced prices, your purchases directly fund the artists who made the assets possible, fostering a virtuous cycle of creation.[/p]
- [p]Leave detailed reviews and rate assets: High‑rating packs gain extra exposure, helping creators earn more and provide feedback and encouragement to produce additional content.[/p]
- [p]Participate in Discord Challenges: With the release of new, themed packs, you can engage in the Photo Competition on our Discord, with winners receiving general kudos and prizes![/p]
- [p]We absorbed them all into the core product: Admittedly, we only had 3 DLC, but in the spirit of the restructure, we have added Booster Pack, Aztec Game Kit, and Particles Pack to the core.[/p]
- [p]The core absorbed more DLC: When we consulted with artists a few months ago about our plan, some blew our minds by offering their DLC for the core product too, 16 DLC to be exact. So basically, thousands of additional assets, all thanks to our amazing artist community![/p]
