Almost Done (Patreon)

Will upload STAGE DEMO in an hour or two.
(public post. image needs to be SFW)

For now, 2 questions:

 --------------- New and recent patrons-------------

Do you see content for patrons as you pledge or does a monthly collection from Patreon have to happen and succeed? I plan to do upfront payment when the next demo (with sex scenes) is done.

I Also ask since if I post links for specific patron tier, say a version for the stage demo with cheats on, would like to be sure real patrons get them.

I don't plan to spam email everyone for the stage demo, so I plan to just post it for patrons only and cheat enabled versions for tiers $xx+

 --------------- Dischord ---------------

Anyone use this? I remember using it some months ago, but if everyone's interested, I think I can setup our own servers for patrons on specific tiers so we can chat or when test builds are ready for bug testing and other early content previews.

  --------------- Animator Updates --------------- 

Ok, originally I have 2-4 animators helping me with the project. And for longtime patrons, you know that did not happen as everyone else bailed out on me. Luckily, Chris took the role. 

Going back to the animators I planned with, Divine Arms has around 30-35 total enemies. The game was supposed to be divided to 3 chapters. (12 or so enemies and scenes per chapter) Each chapter will change in playable character. (Siggy, Mahalai and Ashe) But with limitations in the tools, we might stay with Siggy til we finish all chapters. (But who knows. I'll see when I get there.)

Now, Chris is commissioned for chapter 1 or 12 scenes. Afterwards, I'll have another animator do chapter 2. UNLESS Chris decides to renew for it. As much as I want Chris to stay for good, realistically, I can't say if he's still into the project for chapter 2. So let's hope he enjoys doing Siggy (pun intended) and stay til chapter 3.

Game over scenes will still be done by me and guest artists, however. 

Still, I figured and I assume everyone won't mind the style change much since it's a chapter based game.

  --------------- Future Updates ---------------  

I'll prioritize porn from now on. Maybe after the next update with the sex scenes, I'll finish up the minigame since after that, the game is pretty much at its core and the only thing needed to be done are the rest of the stages and enemy sprites.

That said, as much as I hate flash now, I may stick with it for a few more new games in the future. Like I said, prioritize porn, so I'll stick with the stuff I know and master doing so we get no further delays because I tried something new. Back then I can finish games in less than 6 months, so yeah, I'll stick to 2D and prioritize porn. Doing what I did with Divine Arms made me learn a lot along the way but it was a bad combination to develop NEW TYPES of games with crowd funding.

Anyway, I'll get back to testing. There's still some fixing needed to do, but I'll upload it ASAP then I'll get feedback when I wake up later.

For now, I hope someone answers the new patron and dischord questions.
