Reward Overhaul & Future Plans

Added 2020-01-05 17:03:05 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, hope you're having a smooth 2020 so far! I wanted to thank you for all your support that made Hedon possible, and makes future expansion a thing in the works! You're all wonderful <3

With the page growing both in size and age, I realized that I need to polish the reward system a bit, because there have been a lot of dedicated supporters that deserve more appreciation. Therefore, I am going to change the in-game rewards from tier-based to amount-based (note that the price for the artworks is based on their value as commissions, and increases subsequently).

Regardless of tier, everyone now has a steady road towards obtaining a custom gallery pic, while higher tiers will get there faster. On top of that, I also added the option to customize your name color to make it stand out during the brief ending credits (note that the main menu credits will remain black to avoid legibility issues).

Regarding the future plans, my main goal is to eventually stop depending on RL work and be able to dedicate to this full time. However, that will 100% not happen in the first half of this year, which will be pretty harsh for me. I do want 2020 to be the year of Episode 2, however, and on top of that I might have something extra coming up.

Regarding the future future plans... well, after Episode 2 is done, I want to give Hedon some rest before I continue. Because I want to work on my next game! Yep, you heard that right, I am already gathering ideas for it, but so far it's just a dream like Hedon was years ago. I can only disclose a few things about it so far:
1. It won't be using the GZDoom Engine, especially as it will move from 2.5D to fully 3D;

2. It will be set in the Hedon universe;

3. The gameplay will be different, but the aesthetics, atmosphere and level design will be from the same vein as Hedon.
