December is unto us! (Status update, sort of) (Patreon)

December is here. Wow, this one feels like it was one of the shortest years in my life. Or am I just getting old? Anyway, I'm not here to talk about that or that it's snowing outside. I'm writing this to give you some information, on what I planned for MMM and what I think might change in 2018.

I keep mentioning that I want to release MMM to the stores before the end of the year and that hasn't changed.

But apart from that I have notsaid much about what exactly I planned. And that is because I have a hard time deciding on many things. What should it cost? Should the price be the same for all platforms? What about VR vs. Non-VR? Just one thing is clear, my Patreon Supporters should (and will) get it for free. 99% of digital stores have some sort of promo-keys, so there should be no problem.

So, I'm kind of making it all up the go. I want the price for the final version to be somewhere around $13… Is that a lot? Is it not enough? If it was a game I'd consider different prices for different stores, but it isn't and I think there aren't many apps that I can look at to give me a feel what's a good price and what to consider. 

I will probably start at the stores with a discount as I don't consider the version to be "final". And by final I mean a "v1.0", some things I wanted for that are still missing and I'll mark the software as "Early Access" to show that.

Releasing on stores is a lot of work. Each store has ist own requirements. There will be texts to be written, images to be created, special requirements implemented and probably a lot more. I will also have to whip up a new official website for the MindMendingMachine. (I'll keep the current one, but I'll have to make a product page that I can link to from the stores. One that fits the product I'm relaesing to the store, a VR hypnosis app that features self-help and relaxation sessions. There won't be a mention or implication of anything hypnosis fetish related.)

And as each store will have ist own requirements there is a possibility that MMM won't be available on all the stores before end of the year but it will at least be on some of them.

For 2018 there is a rather rough plan. Complete "v1.0" features and harden the software. 

From then on I will work on different things:

• New kinky sessions for my patreon supporters
• Improving MMM, that might be with new features or just updating the UI, improving performance or supporting another control scheme.
• Creating new sessions for the non-kinky public, to be made available via in-app-purchases. (These will not be financed by patreon supporters)

Talking about sessions, for the store release I hope to bundle 4 sessions:

• "Power Nap" (only uses mind synching and a custom visual effect)
• Hypnosis for improved self confidence
• Hypnosis for better sleep
• Hypnosis for improved creativity

All those 4 files aren't ready yet. I'm looking for people to write and/or voice the hypnosis sessions. I currently don't have the neccessary time to do that nor do I have the needed experience to do them in a limited amount of time, yet. I have already reache out to a few people for that and I hope to contact more people in the next few days. If you know someone who's looking for something like that, you know how to get in touch with me (i.e. anything you prefer from messaging me here to chatting me up on discord, I'm sure you'll find a way).

So, what do you think?
