Title: MessiahStudio for $10 basic/$40 pro
Post by: Unknown Target on February 10, 2011, 07:10:09 am

Interesting experiment here. You can get Messiah Pro for $40. The typical price is $1195. The catch is that enough people have to purchase so that they can hit their target sales number. If they don't hit it, no one gets the license and everyone gets refunded. So if you're interested, buy! :) I bought the basic version as a secondary animation program to my main modeler, modo.

I don't understand, If I buy a copy and they didn't reach their goal do I have to pay for the rest of it? Did I just waste $10? Or I just need to pledge the money and if they reach their i goal I cna buy it?

With a name like that I was hoping for amusing religious humor. You disappoint me, thread.

Got one pro license. I'm contemplating getting another 3 for reselling later, but I'm unsure if it's even possible or legal to resell a license - since they're issued to one's personal name. Don't really speak legalese so the terms of service agreements might as well be in klingon as far as I'm concerned :P

Looks like the linux version runs through wine. That's kinda lame.
