A proposition for our Patrons and an update. (Patreon)
Content
I decide that the build of this month will not be release for the public because there is no new content, events, dialogues, etc., instead is gonna be release for all Patrons in any tier, because we want to publish a public update with more content.
As you can guess from the previous paragraph, the next build is going to progress the main story, new common events are coming like in the super market or the park, also, three new main events for every type of recovery that Evangeline is taking.
So, in few days we are going to publish for all the Patrons the build with the new ero-scene art after I finish purging bugs that somehow appear when I added the new art.
About the proposition.
I was thinking about how we had no benefict for the Headpat Squad or the Hug Squad because we don't create art or release builds frequently... so, what I want to propose is a Life Time Benefict, first, something that I had to mention before... price of the final release.
Game price and distribution.
We are planing keep the game in F95 Zone for free until the 1.0 version, which is basically the complete history of Evangeline from begining to end, after that, we want to release the game on Steam and Itch.Io, the price... I was thinking about $20.00usd or $15.00usd, being this second price the most appropriated for me because a lot of really good games cost now $20.00usd, and I don't want to start a polemic about why our game cost as much as award wining indie games... still, I want to hear your opinion about this.
Life Time Benefict.
The idea is release the patch notes every month but for all the tiers and without links for the game, the link is going to be send to those Patrons who are in the Hug Squad and the revised version for the Head Pat Squad respectevly, putting the link in the post after the build goes public, like has been since the first build but with the links send in messages.
The main difference would be that the Patrons who paid $15.00/$20.00 (Depending in which price is gonna be the final one.) or more in their life time also are going to recieve the build if they stay in any tier, in that way Patrons can a benefict from supporting us in a long term.
Also, the people who reach the final price of the game is going to recieve a free key for Steam (When get released there.) and Itchi.io (Page coming soon.), see this like paying for the game in monthly payments. Something to keep in mind is that those versions are going to get the updated after the revision, (Aka. Headpat Squad build.) in that way the Hug Squad is gonna still have beneficts.
That being said, from now on we are going to release exclusive posts for high tiers Patrons, maybe not art because as I mention before we don't managed to post frequently, but from now we are going to show more teasing about what is coming with captures and illustrations, all of this resumed in the small updates after for the public.
A really important note about this: This is a proposition, first we want to hear your opinion, we don't want cause any inconformity among Patrons or confusion, so, before we change anything we want to hear your opinion and questions about this, and from that, see if gets implemented or everything stay as has been until now.
Post 1.0 content.
After the relase of 1.0 we are going to develope a free DLC with a lot of content, proximatly 200% more content than the base game, (When we show some of the DLCs content you would understand why.) the early-acces to the DLCs is going to be distributed as normal, like wit the main builds.
But, while we work in the DLCs, we are going to start working in the next project which is bigger and way more open, we are right now in the early stages of planing, but when B&L get the 1.0 version, you are gonna see a bunch of polls, this time Patrons are going to take part in the design of characters, story, ambient, etc., I'm really tempting to say more but we want to surprise you. The 1.0 version is relatively close, so, keep an eye on this new project~ n_n
That is all for now, I apologize for the wall text, but I want to cover as much details as possible. We want to hear your opinion, so don't be shy and leave us your comment about it. See you until the next time~
