Be a smart pirate (and other things!)

So I gather Three is already out doing the rounds on various sites.

Now I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist over this (there's no point - plus twisted knickers is most uncomfortable!) but I would ask that pirates are smart about this.

As we all know the current version has a few bugs and uploading this version is not a smart thing to do. Not for me, not for the people who download it, not for your fellow patron's and not for you. Let me explain.

Someone downloading a fully functioning version of the game from somewhere might think "Gosh, that was rather fun. I might just throw Notty a few bucks." This is a good thing. Money helps improve my kit from the current 6GB card to something better (and, hopefully, we've already seen the difference in going from a 1050 2GB to a 6GB card if we compare Three to the earlier chapters.). A better rig means I can make faster renders, so either more content or better content for everyone. I win, the downloader wins-  as they enjoy what they've played, your fellow patrons win and you win by getting more stuff in future.

Someone downloading a broken version of the game from somewhere might think "Well...that was rubbish" and so no few bucks. This is a bad thing. For a start the downloader has a bad experience - so you're not helping them anyway  and we all get delays in getting more and better content.

So, be a smart pirate. If you're going to do this, do it with the version that works. We all might benefit. No girl is impressed with a man just because he comes first.... ;P

Now onto other things!

So I've today off work to fix the bugs. Thankfully (and thanks for the bug reports btw) they all seem fairly constant so, other than feeling a bit of an idiot about them, should be straightforward to fix. I'll sort them out and see if I can get someone to test it for me then re-upload. Again, I do apologise about this especially after so long.

I'm also up to date with my messages but still have some refunds and comments to respond to and I'll squeak those out as we go.

I also have quite a few things to poll you all on, so expect me to get chatty again. :)

Laters!
