Directors cuts: Are they worth it?

[deltamatrix]

I am considering extending Ray Bexter. Possibly add a whole new scenerio which comes after the one I've already made.

If I was to do a directors cut, should I replace the original or keep that on-line too? Would it be a good idea?

Thing is I wanna upgrade it to a full-length game with more puzzles and work on some of the criticism received.

If you're just going to be adding new material, and not taking anything away, then I'd just release it as an updated version and replace the original.

A director's cut? What, did a producer or movie studio cut out a few of your scenes or censor it in any way.

(Why not? Just don't call it that. Perhaps version 1.1 or version 2.0 instead)

[deltamatrix]

I could do that. I wanna update it to 1.3 very soon with yet more fixes.

I'll tell what I actually wanna do.

I wanna extend the game to have 2 whole chapters. I'm considering doing a new chapter in which Ray lands on a space station after escapin the spaceship.

What I wanna do is create that new chapter and integrate the new one and the original one in one bigger game so the game is longer.

And then that original one will become a directors cut edition although you will get the option to skip it.

Maybe I'm going crazy.

I agree with the others: go ahead and do it, but don't call it a director's cut.  Just make it an updated version.

Well, if you are going to add an extra chapter to the game, call it the Extended Edition or something like that.
