Hmmm no number after the V0.04? Like V0.04X where X is a number. It should say in the bottom left corner when you start the game.

That version has some major bugs, and the puzzle is significantly harder. V0.043 was sent out on June 1 to all patrons who received V0.04 and V0.041, and it should rectify most issues people have had with the puzzle.

Your puzzle is obtuse and boring regardless. I grinded my way through it, knowing what to do, and it still took hours because there's no clues to where the circuit boards are.

Here's some saves. At the end of the puzzle you fight Vera and she has nothing but a sway animation, some basic moves, and no content besides destroying her top when she's at 50% life either time you fight her. No scene, no grapples, nothing.

I bought the last two versions individually on Kimochi. I saw the update log and it didn't seems like there that much new content this time around. I'm a patron for several creators on this forum and I'm not afraid to spend money on this, however I didn't feel like yours was worth it. But that's my opinion.

People requested saves for a while now and no one provided them, so I did it.

yeah you BOUGHT a boat to pirate bay bro... its a work in progress NOT a full game!! so if ur disappointed because its NOT full yet then wait for full version and THEN pirate it from somewhere...
they are not forcing you to pay for a work in progress its a choice to support the game and motivate the creator! its a DONATE... -.-
and if your not smart enough to solve an average puzzle then ur not old enough to fap with games xD
putting extra content such as Puzzle, fights, mini games always help a nice game such as this to be more deep and memorable! if you want to just fap to something go download a porn or hentai or something...
and dont call a puzzle with alot of tips (from last version) stupid when ur clearly the one who cant figure it out

Hey everyone!

If you remember I posted a survey recently asking for your opinions on the proposed Patreon campaign format changes. If you missed the post, you can check it out here. I also posted a survey on Patreon asking for patrons' feedback to gauge whether or not they think we should make the changes.

You can find the results of the surveys below:

The patron survey results speak for themselves, with nearly 90% of those that responded recommending we change our campaign format to monthly (with the reduced pledge tier costs) + add the charge up front feature.

The non patron survey results take a bit more analyzing. Basically, approximately half of the non patrons that responded said they would be more likely to pledge to the campaign if it was in the monthly format with the reduced pledge costs. Though the sample size is small, it's a very promising result since very few answered that they were less likely to pledge due to the proposed changes. What this says is that for every 20 non patrons that check out the project, approximately 10 will be more likely to pledge because of these changes, and approximately only 1 will be less likely.

As it stands and due to the highly positive feedback, we've decided that we will be making the proposed changes starting sometime after the V0.05 release. This means that starting sometime after the V0.05 release all pledge tier costs will be significantly reduced and we will be moving to the monthly payment format. These changes will, we feel, not only benefit existing patrons in the long run, but will be especially beneficial for new patrons, as they will be able to retrieve their digital rewards instantly upon pledging.

Thanks again for all the feedback guys!

Its unfortunate things went that way. I was supporting on a per update basis but a monthly basis, no way. I've seen what it does to projects. I do hope the project goes well. I certainly have given enough to buy the game a few times. Good luck.

I definitely encourage you to stick around and make that judgment after you've seen our progress . The monthly schedule will not start for a couple of months yet, and pledge costs being cut by two thirds or more means you would be pledging less over time to receive the same amount of content.

Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!

Whilst I personally feel that a monthly charge would help the overall progress of the game, I'd probably have to drop my Patreon as I'm trying to cut down on monthly expenses. I guess it depends on the final cost for each tier.

Obviously, creators should also be aware that monthly subs mean patreons have much higher expectations for both the level and speed at which content is released. It might be kinda stressful.

We plan on using the following costs for each tier (just a reminder for anyone reading this that these changes won't take place for a couple of months yet):

• The current $1 reward (Patreon feed access) would change to $1 per month, and remain the same.
• The current $10 reward (access to the latest game version) would become $3 per month.
• The current $15 reward (Artwork PDF) would change to $5 per month.
• The current $45 reward (Inner Circle access) would change to $10 a month.
• The current print rewards would be consolidated down to two. $40 a month for US patrons and $50 a month for international patrons. These rewards will also include Inner Circle access, making them equivalent to the current $70 and $80 tiers.

Interesting... nice pricing and monthly too, hmm... might actually back this than, we will see.
$3/month for access feels right on point, not "too much" for the user and not "nothing" for the creator.. well done.

I'll stick around for now I like what I have been seeing so far.

As to the recent update,(I know I'm late) but that puzzle.... I have to agree with moving it to an alternate dungeon, or don't make it necessary to pass it to continue with the story. But well done once again.

I would love to but this is more or less my stand with Patreon campaigns now. I got burned a few too many times by other developers who went monthly and though I'm sure you guys won't do the same, its a matter of principle now. I can't want to see the finished product though.
