Jester Cards, yes or no?

As a house contractor would put it : You don't sell the housing before the house is done.

Cheat codes to get things easier is alright, but don't be afraid to put larger storylines in the game as a way to get the outfits. For example, if you make one decision in a storyline, you get a specific outfit but if you do something else you get a diffrent outfit. If you do that, then the cards would be perfect for getting all the outfits in one run.

I feel like giving certain tiers access to cheat codes is a good enough facsimile for what it sounds like.

its a what ever dude i like the Idea and if they don't let em hate

Given that it's all going to be free at the end. The jester card system is just a simple tiny perk for the patrons that help fund the project. Stick to just to sexy outfits one update in advance, and no story / scenes lock out. That's not very scummy in my opinion, but there's always going to be a few people that complain that everything is not free immediately.

I like it. Honstely to me this is not a loot box becuase as the developer you brought it to out attention as to what you were doing. You'r not doing this at the last minute nor are you locking people out of content because were different tiers. You shouldent feel uneasy about your game and what direction you want to take it in.

Thank you for your comment waffel, that's a very good point. I'm gonna keep an eye on that. Maybe change it in the future.

The convenience stuff sounds dangerous, if you make that then you will also, consciously or not, make it affect how you think of your game and how you design it. I think that you will start making the game grindier, and think "well that is not a problem since I have all these convenience items for my patrons" That is a slippery slope, the rest of it sounds fine. The convenience stuff might give a boost short term, but might hurt you long term.

From how i understand it it's just a form of early access right?, let people who pay more get it early i'm fine paying $3 and getting the content later plus people who are paying more are going to be more likely to find the bugs sooner

Personally I don't see the issue with it. It's just a nice little extra for the people who do pledge that everyone will eventually get when the game has a it's full release. Not mention that it's not like anything major is blocked off like areas, rooms or sexy times. Having said that I am not married to the idea of Jester Cards either so I am very open to other suggestion people might have (I don't have any of my own at the moment). I would ask if all the people who dislike the cards from other websites made any suggestion if they are so against it. Not suggestion that just say "oh let your work speak for it's self", that's just sounds like people wanting everything that pledgers get but for free. The one suggestion I actually do have right now is maybe just makes the items available earlier for $1 tiers, like maybe every 3-4 months instead of waiting for the That is all have for now but if I have something to add I will be sure to post it here.

I was initially against the idea, but after your clarification that everyone can get it, I don't really mind anymore. I will say that it is a lot more content for you to make (which is always nice) so I just hope the high expectations don't burn you out.

I'd like to point out that the people complaining haven't fully read the purpose behind the cards. It is an early access option, nothing gets fully locked behind it. As such there shouldn't be any real issue with a game that is being worked on and will be released later for free.

My thought on higher tiers would be looking back at orange trainer and seeing what worked there, if you liked what happened there, continue it. if not attempt another avenue.

It will be available for all patrons, just not immediately. just hold your horses and be patient.

IMVHO you should reward all your supporters and maybe gift higher tiers with a more detailed picture or?

Why not just... Make that planned content as an inclusion in the updates for ALL patrons?

People support the game all the same, but if introducing the JCards encourage others to support your games then go for it. In the end you will decide what gets put into each month's content based on what your artists can produce. Keep up the great work.

D Gantz

Ehhh from my view it really doesn't seem like an issue, especially considering that everything becomes available anyway. Kinda seems like a case of people wanting free stuff immediately and not liking that others will get it before them because some people choose to support you more.

Kobold Lad

It's an awful lot of content for you to create. I think you'll burn out if you try.

i think its fine why not give people who have the mnoey to help you out get somthing for it if i had the money i would help but i just don't am glad you give us cheapskates access to the game even if its after everyone else ::P:P:P:P:P:P:PPP:P::P:P:P:PP:P:P:P
