No update report, but itch keys!
Added 2023-06-22 10:18:12 +0000 UTCAs the title says, no progress update today!
Basically I wasn't working much on the game, this week.
But!
There are a few other changes and work on game will resume shortly.
So what are those other changes?
First of all, I updated the 3EUR tier a bit and it spills over in tiers above. Pretty much, you get keys only after your lifetime support is equal or above the game's price tag.
This will only apply to future supporters.
How it works is simple. The price tag for a game is, let's say 15 and you support me on the 3EUR tier, then you have to wait 5 months to get the key.
But after that, you can keep it forever!
Of course, higher tiers have to wait less.
Also, I won't take currency changes into account, so 15$ will be 15EUR, to make things simpler.
Why that change was made now, is also exciting! I setup an itch page (steam coming soon-ish) and setup automated downloads there.
So you can use your key, I send to you via email or Patreon DMs, claim the game and use the itch.io app to automatically get the newest updates, when they come out!
Alternatively, you can also manually download them there.
I will also post them here as well, for those who don't want to setup itch for themselves.
There are two branches on itch.io so far.
prealpha - which will get stable(-ish) builds for users to try out
nightly = my latest changes, probably breaking things. For those who want to see where I currently am
I plan a similar scheme for steam, but need quite a bit more preparation there, before I can get that going.
Also I am generating keys right now, so expect them in your in-box soon.
PS: I was thinking about the keys more and how things should work out.
My idea here is as follows:
The above mentioned will apply to keys only. Once you get a key, you practically own the game, forever!
That is the reason, why I made the change for them. You practically have the game for good.
But I'll also post the prototypes and other versions here on my Patreon. So those, who haven't gotten a key yet, still have access to builds, but won't have the game permanently, until they reach the threshold.
Im also updating the tier description to show this distinction.
