Release changes + Beta Testers Wanted
Added 2020-09-19 23:53:56 +0000 UTCHey all. I've been thinking a lot today about how I want to move forward with the way I release the game.
I'm not sure how all of you found my game, but I know that a lot of you found it F95, where it was leaked and posted for free. That means that you played my game for free, and then thought it was worth a dollar (or more) to support it anyways. That's pretty amazing and I'm extremely grateful.
I'm really not sure what the best way to release a game like this is. I see a lot of other games doing it the way I have been doing - higher tiers get access early and then it eventually gets released for free. However, I've been thinking a lot about just releasing the game for free period, and then relying on you all to support me through donations. I'd keep my Patron tiers, but likely offer more things like lewd renders and custom renders for higher tiers.
I'd really like to know what you all think about this. If you got easy free access to the game, would you be less likely to be a patron? Or more likely?
Lastly, I am looking for beta testers. These would be a small group of people that would get access to the game as soon as I finish doing testing on my own. The requirement would be that you would have to play through and give me feedback within just a few days. I feel like this would really help me catch more bugs before release day. I'm pretty embarassed by the amount of bugs that were Friday's release (I'm uploading a new version of the game tonight that fixes all of those). If you'd like to be a beta tester, please send me a message directly.
Okay that's all. Please give me your thoughts. I really need feedback here. Love ya.
