So, we're going to work with Kagura Games.
🕑 Added 2019-10-09 19:42:46 +0000 UTCYeah. Surprise!
Rakushun from Kagura Games and I have had a friendship for a long time and he mentioned working together a while ago. I told him I wasn't worried about sales at the time, that I wanted to focus on making games and I would worry about if I would sell or where I should sell the game later on closer to 1.0.
A few days ago, we got a great offer presented to us by LewdLogic/CriticalBliss, owner of Lewd Gamer. I don't want to disclose the details out of respect for Logic, but it looked good. Logic also alerted us for a few situations and told us that we should go live on Steam as early as humanly possible if we want to create a following there. In the end even tho we respectfully declined Logic's offer regardless how enticing and exciting it sounded to work with him, we heard everything he has to say.
And so as we have meant to do a long time ago, I had a meeting with Rakushun and "signed" the deal. It was verbal, but we go way back. To me it's like it's signed on paper and I know it's the same thing with him. I just told him I wanted to drop the news on my fanbase and our supporters first before I laid out any ink.
With that being said, yeah... after people asked me a billion times "Are you going on Steam? Please go on Steam! I'd love to get your game on Steam!" well, we're going on Steam.
So what does that mean for our patrons? Absolutely nothing. If we go early access, you will get stuff a lot before Steam does. You guys will continue to serve as the channel to develop the game in all fronts. That means you get to test it a long time before it's submitted to Steam if we go early access and if we don't, a loooot earlier. You get to criticize while we're still at a stage where we can change things. You are able to vote on polls and you know how much we use and listen to those. You can make suggestions regarding patches. Decide the future of the game. The patreon ranks on Discord. The exclusive rewards. The HD assets. Your name immortalized in the game once 1.0 comes out and above all else, our eternal gratitude. Plus a copy of the game once it comes out on steam for everyone that been on the 10$ tier or made 20$ worth of support over a period of time. ;)
So yeah. Other than going live on Steam our plans didn't change AT ALL. The roadmap is up and will stay the same. Halloween patch coming soon. We want to introduce streams for our Patreons where you can see me working on the maps and the CG team drawing but we're assessing how to do that on their end. We want to make it so being our Patreon is more and more exciting, and that might come with a few changes on rewards in the future. Don't worry, we'll only add, not take away.
That is all. Appreciate all the feedback. Thank you for the unconditional support. You KNOW I love you guys. From the bottom of my heart.

They will split somewhat for a bit at the end.

That's awesome I can't wait for what it is. Also I have a suggestion/change for Alansya Chronicles. Is it possible for The Family route to have two separate routes? By that I mean just a Arthur route and a Jack Route just separate? Or you already explain that in a older post or it's not possible. I wish you good luck can't wait when the game is completed.

Let's hope the answer is infinity!

Having a secondary steam porn account doesn't sound that bad. Regardless, yes. You will receive a final copy and not only a final copy, but AN EXCLUSIVE Patreon only final copy with development only options.

Will we still get a final copy of the game that isn't steam based. No offense but I have no desire to have this game in my library there or to have to create and remember another steam account just for this game.

This is great. I'm big fan of both of you and steam support is always appreciated. Can't wait to see how much better the game will turn out to be because of this.

Awwww *shy blob face from Discord*

That's a great thing! Hope it helps with advertising, cause both you and this game are amazing and you deserve a lot more :)
Heaven Studios
Thanks brother. We talked about it. We are definitely going to do achievements and steam cards. Just have to make sure it's safe for work!

I don't buy everything they put out because a lot of it I already purchased on DLSite before a translation was made or I've tried some of their (developer) previous games and it just didn't appeal to me but some other stuff I've purchased on both places. I definitely purchased most of the stuff they put out tho. They hand pick who they work with and that was a part of the reason why we decided to work with them. My friendship with the owner and the decision of our team was the main one though.

I see this as a great thing Starke! I've been heavily supporting Kagura Games on Steam and looking forward to buy this off Steam as well! :) Any chance on steam achieves and trading cards? ;)
Ruination Games
Congrats...I pretty much buy anything with Kagura's name on it. Seeing you guys make it this far inspires me to get off my ass and start getting my game off the ground.
Heaven Studios
Yeah I love most of the games they put up as well. I've been a long time fan of Acerola while it was still Saboten. I loved Fallen. I love Remtairy and everything he puts out. I've known the owner since day 1 so... It just makes sense.

Been supporting Kagura for a long time, and they've only produced quality. Hoping they can help this project as well!
