SubClub Backstage / Dev Diary Thread

#1

@Fire and myself have been discussing opening this thread for awhile, where we give our customers are insider look at some of the things that go on behind the scenes – nothing too serious, just fun tidbits, facts, wireframes, etc.

For now, the thread will remain open for discussion, but in the future, we may close this thread for open chatter but open a second “discussion” thread for you to talk about what we post. That being said, I’ll just link to the various updates from this post.

Dev Entry #1: Saint hated Dragon Reborn
Dev Entry #2: Where the name “SubliminalClub” came from
Dev Entry #3: One of the methods we use to stay innovative

This is SubClub in a nutshell (my personal opinion)
#2

First post is a minor thing, but funny / interesting to those who want to know more about our creative process. Ya’ll ready? I was very, very much opposed to the creation of Dragon Reborn. I hated everything about it. The name, the concept, everything. I thought it overlapped too much with Regeneration and we should’ve just expanded Regeneration to a four stager. Regeneration and Dragon Reborn takes different approaches toward a somewhat similar goal, and I wasn’t quite getting what @Fire was trying to achieve with it. We generally try not to stifle each other’s creativity and ideas, though, and I’m always up for testing the market to see what happened.

What happened? Dragon Reborn became an overnight hit and is now a bestseller – possibly in the top three best selling titles in SubClub history. Just goes to show that you don’t know everything and should always be open to seeing what the people want, not just what you want.

Curious which title takes the Throne?

Is it Khan?

I’ll have to sit down and calculate it. If you just look at sales stats, it’ll say Emperor – but that’s not fair, considering it was the flagship subliminal for quite some time.

I honestly never expected anything like Dragon Reborn especially with Regeneration , Rebirth, and Elixir already available

I love seeing behind the scenes stuff, this thread is already looking fantastic. :slight_smile:

DR greatly exceeds other healing subs IMHO. It has redefined subliminals for me :slight_smile:

I would love to hear more about how Fire conveyed you the concept back then, maybe even seeing the original texts? :wink:

Yeah, I don’t think so, hahahaha. Too many rip-offs trying to steal our stuff. There’s even a competitor running around adding “Q” to their titles. We’ve already had to notify the legal team of it.

Id have to say Khan or Stark is the other top 3 product… or maybe something like Paragon or Beyond Limitless

Hahahaha. The ridiculously simplified and short version was more like (and yes, some of our conversations are absolutely absurd like this):

Saint: Dragon Reborn. That sounds like an Elder Scrolls title.
Fire: Indubitably.
Saint: …
Fire: …
Saint: …
Fire: …
Saint: …
Fire: Have you ever seen a tree fall down two times? No? Forget about it, then.
Saint: Are you quoting Tik Tok?
Fire: Listen. Two birds. One sky. Forget about it, then.
Saint: … This is about to be like Robb Stark trusting Walder Frey.
Fire: If Robb Stark knew nothing like Jon Snow, he’d be alive, right? So, we have nothing to lose then.
Saint: Somehow that makes sense. Build your title.

So what were you opposed too?

I read a bunch of sentences you could apply to any product… we want juicy details :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

oh and DR definately was a brilliant product to support the Therapy I am currently taking part in :slight_smile:

Well, most sites I saw are just resellers from India, Pakistan and Russia.

How do you even begin fighting such a thing legally?

#19

Buawahaha. Epic. Just epic. I wouldn’t mind a thread of just your funny conversarions. :grin::grin::grin:

Fire sounds like he speaks like the sage one would climb a mountain for advice, or to get trained by.
