Hi,

I started investigating Esenthel a week a ago. I have just now decided to buy and gotten the money together for the purchase but... I may be mistaken but has the price increased over the last week? I was sure the engine was $150 (not $199) but maybe this was the quoted price on the webpage that brought me to this site?

I can't find the original link to confirm this unfortunately.

Many thanks,


Ian (aka Veggie)

I can verify that it has indeed gone up.
I bought my license literally two days ago at $150.

Bugger... missed the price increase again.... i still need to get another licence :( ... oh well just hope it doesnt go up again before it becomes the priority for my wallet hehe...

I had to increase the price after I've discovered that Esenthel has the price too low when compared to other engines (C4 750$, LE3 600$, Unity 5000$ for all platforms and features)
Esenthel's current 199$ is still much, much lower.

I can't afford it for now.

It would have been better for me if there was a warning in the forums that there was going to be a price increase soon, then I could have sped things up a bit. Any-ways, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel to afford $150(I'm unemployed at the moment) and I can't justify the extra cash at the moment.

It is still a great engine though and well worth $199, hopefully at some time in the future I can come back with the extra cash.

Good luck to all,


Veggie

Veggie, don't feel too bad and don't leave!
This way you have more time to actually work with it and decide if it's for you

Keep in mind that the demo version will work for learning. It costs nothing to try, and you can see the engine before committing.

Indeed it is still a very very reasonable price.

Phew! I may just be be able to buy after all, I have agreed to ebay off some stuff to make up the extra money. Still feel a little guilty as money is pretty tight in our household just now but you have spend money to (hopefully!) make money.

I could have continued with the demo version but I really wanted to contribute towards the authors efforts if possible.

Thank you, to gwald, Rubeus & Scarlet Thread for their encouraging comments.
