Wellp right there I differ in opinion. If you are offering a product, you should price it fairly.
it's not an opinion it's a fact, it's not a service it's a PLATFORM for SUPPORT. how thick minded can you be?
"As a reward"Well, this is my first post in this thread since I joined MATM dev team, and I wouldn't expect it to be like this... life.
@E7N
You said that you understand how patreon and similar platforms operate... apparently you don't. It's not about "I pay and I expect content in quality and quantity proportional to what I paid", it's about "I like what this guy is doing and since I can spare few bucks a month or few months, I will throw them his way to support him".
As much as I don't approve the tone of some of Darkstrain's posts, he is right. You're not paying for every version, you get them as a reward for supporting the game development. Nobody is forcing you to pledge and if you don't like this system, I recommend you wait for public demo and finished game.).
Uhm. No, it's an opinion. Stating "there is no need for fair price" is definitely an opinion, no matter how much you want to claim it is a fact.
You are such a tool.
don't bother responding, as long as he thinks kickstarter is a product he will not get the point.
Eh, even that I'd rather have a limit-met for full access.
If you're paying for the game update, that's a product.
It's a question of the backer's motivation. If one is pledging solely for the pledge reward, then I think they are doing it for the wrong reason and it may not feel like a good investment. If the backer gets a sense of helping make the project better by enabling a larger and more qualified development team to spend more of their time working on it, then it's much more fulfilling. People that find that sense to be tangible will ultimately get the most out of it.
halleluyah brother!!! you said it better than me (i tend to be too direct or sarcastic about things and people get butthurt and neg rep me... {drinking salty tears})
Which is why I'm not going to support till release. Yes I probably will support upon release, but given your current model I can't bring myself to support multiple patches over-costing the price of the actual game.
Personally, I hate kickstarter because I've been burned on 3 out of 3 projects now, where all three projects never got completed and the person ran off with $30,000+ on each project.
And this pretty much ended the argument, agreed on all points.
Pretty much this.
>Ok the problem (for me) was the updates and having to resub for them even if you purchase the top tier.
There will definitely be debuffs (H-related and not) that persist after battle, as well as H attacks that have more varied effects. The newly rewritten battle system allows for a lot more flexibility with the H system, including the ability for enemies to spawn new enemies or appendages for H attacks. This was originally done so that enemies that are rooted in place can use H attacks (since it would look weird for them to disappear from the battlefield and appear next to the characters), but this also allows for a lot of interesting scenarios since the enemy that uses such a skill can remain free and active on the battlefield while whatever it spawned is restraining a character. Some such theoretical scenarios might include tentacles/ropes or other inanimate objects/larva/etc. In short, you can expect things similar to what you've mentioned to start popping up.Apologies to those following this thread and getting excited about an update
Got a couple questions for you Eromancer! I seem to have had a lot more questions bouncing around in my mind, but they arn't very forthcoming at the moment, so we'll just go with these..
Do you have any plans for, or the inclination for/against...
- H-attacks that do things other than HP/Lust damage?
- Debuffs that persist after battle?
As examples, I'm thinking along the lines of an H-Attack that attaches some wrist restraints, preventing the victim from attacking or effectively resisting further H-Attacks while restrained, as well as egg-laying/pregnancy themed situations. I took a quick look back through the topic and tumblr but didn't see anything specific along these lines, so thought I'd ask here.
Also, while I'm here, how's the Oct 1 date looking? Are we roughly on-track for the new demo appearing at the start of the month, or is it looking for like mid-Oct or Nov now? I realize it's only been a couple of weeks since the last update, I just want to know if I should dampen my enthusiasm now, or stay hyped.
Be assured I'll be happy regardless! Thanks for all your hard work, you're really cranking the quality through the roof!
