For all new Patrons (Patreon)

Just to be clear, I'll be sending the old Ice Demo out sometime in the next 8 or so hours to your Patreon inbox (not your email you signed up to Patreon with)!

I sporadically send emails out throughout the month as well for optional rewards to your email you signed up to Patreon with, so check your email every so often for those, too. :)

Finally, about the Ice Demo itself, this old Ice Demo was done by the previous programmer for the project; this unfortunately means that the engine on it is buggy and slow, and we've since fired that programmer and replaced him with a new programmer who's almost done with a new engine that runs solidly at 60 FPS even on weak computers.

The demo using the new engine will also be sent out to everyone in mid/late November too!

Thank you all so much again for making this game a reality :D

so what's the completion percentage of the fire level? it would be nice to beat that boss. a demo with the completed boss fight at the end would be nice.

The fire level is actually going to be the last level to be completed; we want to move forward with content, so once we complete the other four levels, we'll be bringing back all the new features, improvements to the engine, so forth back into the Fire Level to really polish it off and then the game'll be complete, etc.

It's always disheartening to get the old ice-level in my inbox again. I know you send it out for people who just subscribed and don't have it yet, but i always feel a little bad when it pops up again. So much time and so many posts about the new levels, and the new mechanics, and the new programmer and the new engine, but it's the same busted old demo. I've stayed a patreon through the whole thing, because I can tell that you're making progress. Despite all the shit that keeps happening, you've made it very clear that progress is still on-going, on both the ice and electric levels, in addition to the grand rebuild on the new engine. Your animations and posts about the new mechanics are greatly appreciated, but it still feels bad that we've gone so long without anything actually... yaknow, playable. That mid/late november deadline for the new demo is a grand thing to see. Fingers crossed, hopefully this will be the last time we ever see this old ice-level in the inbox.

Yeah, this is absolutely gonna be the last time you see that in your inbox, haha. I got total faith in Albatross, much more so than I did Cheshire towards the end.

Wait is there like a notification to tell whenever it gets sent

Hey just subscribed aswell. I'm a little confused about all these "Demos". Like Would love an explanation on the different versions, and who they are available to. Regardless, good work. Ps. Please send me any and all Patreon demos :).

The old Ice Demo is the one you should have gotten in your Patreon inbox, but it's a laggy/bloated demo. It has a number of new enemies, new art, storyline chunks, and Talia's first boss powerup, her fire dash. However, we're almost done with a new Ice Demo on an entirely new engine, with new features, 60 FPS gameplay, and a lot more, and that'll be out in mid/late November

Right now there's two main demos; v012 is the Fire Demo, the one you likely played on Newgrounds, it's a public demo. v014 is the current Ice Demo with the old engine, it's slow/bloated but it has a number of new enemies, new environment, new abilities, and so on. v015 will be the new Ice Demo with an entirely new engine (and new programmer to boot), running at 60 FPS, with new features and even more new enemies etc. It'll be out mid/late November to all Patrons that pledged this month. From here onwards, you should be getting new demos monthly or bi-monthly in your Patreon PM inbox as long as you're pledging $5 or above, but once you pledge $10 total, you're free to stop pledging and you'll have secured a copy of the full game.

Enjoyed the fire demo, very impressed! Not a complaint, but can't seem to find the Ice demo, nothing in my inbox as of yet. Does the demo show up after the first payment is pulled?

Jonathan Marlow

so have u guys reached the point were u are getting 6000 a month even after some gets taken away by the usual reasons?

Unfortunately it seems like Patreon is having some sort of issue with a few outlier people getting their accounts hidden on the Patron Manager (hence they didn't get the demo when I bulk-messaged it to everyone who had pledged successfully this month), I emailed Patreon to take care of it, but in the meantime, as the red ribbon shows you've supported, you should have the demo in your inbox now :) sorry for the problem!

FutureFragments

Yeah, now if we can break $7,000 then bam, we can get those Game Over CGs going! :D It's been amazing that so many people are supporting us, it really means a lot! :)

CONGRATS FOR REACHING THE TARGET

I think it's possible now on Patreon to have people charged the moment they join, that way us just now discovering you thanks to Newgrounds can support you and get the ice demo now. (I'd at least consider it since people are more likely to support you when they're in the mood and wanting to play more, than a payment and reward 30 days from then)

Hi there, Forgive my ignorance as i am new to Patreon, I just wanted to ask if I get access to a demo this month, or do I need to wait to the end of the month to check it out? Happy either way, just wanted to know what the general process is, Thanks!

FutureFragments

Right now what I'm doing is sending out the old Ice Demo to people who pledge even if their pledge hasn't cleared yet, but the new Ice Demo, coming out midway/late this month I'd want to wait for pledges to clear as it'll already be near the end of the month, and I wouldn't want to give favoritism/not reward those who've already been pledging all this time. The reason why I haven't enabled "insta-charge yet" is because Patreon is still working out some kinks with the system (as you can see a few people here in this post having problems with their account showing up), and the last thing I'd want would be to enable this and then people slip through the cracks and I have no idea they've even pledged. :(

I'll be sending out the old Ice Demo to anyone who's pledged at all, and then once the money clears, I'll send over the new Ice Demo once we complete that late this month or so.

Seeing that familiar URL is a reminder of broken trust. Ultimately, I'm supporting development of the game either way, but I'd rather not hear about early access every month if I'm not getting any playable updates, regardless of personnel issues.
