Ambient Packs for Game Designers

Hi once again,
Been an extremely log time since my last blog update but here I am, with a lot of great news. Last June or abouts, I was talking about changing the web site over at My Ambient World to a single piece setup to where people can download single files and such, that has changed due to the complexity of the overall deal. So now, I have made the new site out to fit any level of designer, weather your making million dollar games or indie games such as here on GG. My new membership level packages are geared to save anyone money by buying in bulk, and not just one package of bulk either.
First, let me give you the web site:
www.myambientworld.com and go check it out for yourself. Pricing is in line with what you get, and value wise, you get a lot for the buck. I have kicked several ideas around over the last several months trying to find a plan that fits everyone, not just one level of designers. The final result I think is a base that will give any one looking for custom sounds for a game, a new area to take advantage of.
Pricing:
I thought long and hard as to how I need to price the site. I figured keep the ambient packs and make them available as single items, then I figured about a membership site. The member site seems to work out best for everyone. So, I now have both a Designers Members site and a coming Haunters Members site. Designers site basically allows use of packs for non-public performance, such as a game, demo, whatnot. If your doing say, DJing, Haunted House production (pay haunts) then you would need the Haunters membership. The Designers member is geared towards anyone here mainly, again, unless your a DJ or Haunter who is making a income from sales. The Designers membership level is just $149.95 a year to access, and this covers use of the packs AFTER your membership is expired.
The membership level also gains you access to added packs that come online to this section of the site during your membership time frame, so if ten new packs should appear, or new single sounds, you get them at no added cost. At the end of your membership, you have the option to renew anytime and start again. Most of the new stuff that is added on in the membership area, other then the packs currently there, will not be available for sale outside the members areas. I do offer my Ambient packs that everyone already knows of outside the site, but if you buy each of the packs by them selves, you would spend more then getting a membership on the site, no joke. And the figures are there on the site for you to compare as well if you don't believe me ;-)
Public performance or haunters memberships are $499.95 for two years and cover more details then the designers package does, including, public performances, live shows, you can even create and edit up your own sound packs and content for content packs (say with models or stand alone sounds) using the haunters level if you wanted to do so. The Haunters level isn't for everyone and was mainly geared towards haunted house owners and DJs who make an income. The Haunters membership will feature it's own sound base when it's done later in spring, 2012 and will give free access to the designers stuff as well for the price. Again, creating value for your buck.
The Designers side is now open for anyone who wants to jump on in and take advantage of the new pricing. Single packs will come back online around Summer, 2012 as well once I get everything finished on that part. Prices for single packs have moved up slightly, depending on the pack, but still remains low enough anyone can get a good value for their dollar, even through my single packs.
I also have a new email addy now...
sales@myambientworld.com is the new email if you want to drop me a line here or there, that's cool. Contact form on the web site still in the making and the store will open about Feb or March 2012 with the new packs once I have them ready.
Let me know what you all think of the new look.
Type soon and stay safe, have a great Christmas 2011!
