Durante (Dark Souls, Trails of Cold Steel) open a port studio

- Start date
Charge the companies for a quote - scalable so have a very quick consult for free and get a high level view of the time/effort needed for a proper quote and charge for it
Make sure your costs are reasonable - see if you can find out what reasonable costs are in comparable SW engineering companies.
Consider asking for percentage of revenue to build up some continuous revenue
Oh and congrats!
Considering the quality of your work, this was only a matter of time. Congrats Durante; PC gaming just got a bit better 👍
Yeah, that's actually exactly what we plan to do. It's not sustainable with a larger volume of potential projects to provide a binding quote for free (if you don't just want to guess that is).
Thanks for the other advice as well!
This is sooo cool. Congrats and best of luck man!
No Durante Store key no buy.
I was contacted by XSEED to improve it after it was already out for a while. I fixed some severe stutter issues with it, improved the rendering quality, and fixed several gameplay issues of the port, particularly at 60 FPS. (But it's still far from ideal)
This was actually my first professional programming work specifically on a game (and independently), and I really have to thank Ken from XSEED for trusting a random modder sufficiently to hand over the source like that.
Good of you to ask!
We plan for all our software to be available exclusively in the upcoming PH3 store, just as soon as we put the finishing touches on our state-of-the-art client.

Hot damn, god speed my friend.
I know it's been said 1,000 times but seriously thank you for saving Dark Souls PC.
To this day I still consider Prepare to Die + DSfix to be the best version of Dark Souls, even better than the ''Remastered''.

The sad part is presumably we can't expect any fixes of games when Durante feels like doing them. Now he has his own business he'll have to think about that first and he won't want publishers thinking he'll come along and fix their stuff for free.
Anyway, best of luck to them. The more quality porting studios out there the better.

He didn't port Dark Souls lol weird to put that in the title for a mod of it, his actual port works are on the website

It's probably what he's best known for, it's a really significant mod. It makes sense to put it in the title.
Sorry, I guess I should be more responsible in my posting now ;)
If we ever release our own consumer software (where we make the distribution decisions) it will be available in whatever form is most convenient and satisfying to most of the people actually buying it. (And right now and for the foreseeable future this would mean putting PC games and any PC-gaming-related software on Steam)
