Happy New Year!
🕑 Added 2020-01-07 16:35:29 +0000 UTCThe game has come a long way since I started posting publicly back in February. So far the focus has just been on creating the core of the game. Now it's time to switch gears to polishing those core elements, writing a story, adding quests, and making the project financially viable.
In an attempt to try and make the game pay the bills and allow me to continue working on it fulltime I'm going to revamp the Patreon tiers a bit. The $1 tier is getting retired, I appreciate everyone who has donated at this level but the reality is that the payment processors take a significant chunk of that dollar. The plan though is to grandfather in anyone who is already in that tier and just give them access to the new $5 tier content. The new tiers will probably be $5 will get early access to the builds usually a month before the public build. $10 will get even earlier access to the builds usually 2 months before the public builds. $25 will get the same access as the $10 tier but will also have an added "preview" level accessible from the main menu. The plan for the preview level is to drop in rough models, sculpts, mechanics, and anything else that I have in the works really. It will probably also act as somewhat of a gallery level. Then there would be the $50 and $100 tiers which I have no idea what to do for rewards at these levels. None of this is set in stone but this seems to be the general pattern that other adult game projects are following.
I really appreciate the help and support that all of you have shown and I want to be able to keep working fulltime on the project. The downside is there are these pesky bills that I need to pay for things like food and electricity and of course Sallie Mae wants her monthly sacrifice. That's really where these changes are coming from so that I don't have to start picking up contract work on the side or even go back to fulltime studio work.
But I do want your feedback - How do you feel about the new tiers? Are there specific rewards people would like to see? Or just if you have thoughts or feelings shoot me a message in the comments or in a private message.
Oh, and the minotaur guy, I changed up his face and beefed up his legs based upon everyone's feedback. Thanks for the help! I did like the face from the last version and I'll probably roll that into some demon dude instead. What do you think of the new changes?
One last thing, the next release build will probably be around mid Febuary. This month I'm in the process of packing and moving to a new apartment so there's going to be a decent chunk of time where I won't have access to my computer. But it also means that the next build will have a bigger chunk of content than usual when it's ready.
