v5.0 Pricing and Patreon going forward
Added 2023-11-26 02:30:53 +0000 UTCHi all, since I am anticipating some confusion I wanted to clarify how things will move going forward.
The game has been released at Kinky Dungeon by Ada18980 (itch.io)
There are three versions of the game in circulation.
1) Itch.io/Official version <- This is the graphical update version and the most supported one going forward
2) Legacy version <- This is the one you've all been playing on github
3) BC version <- This is the one built into Bondage Club
Itch.io will be the primary target of updates. I will probably still be pushing to the test branch of Legacy however I am not sure if I will be releasing official Legacy versions anymore. This is because the 'official' game is now on Itch.io and also hosted there (which solves the issue of eventually running out of bandwidth on github).
The Legacy version will continue to receive updates, however I cannot guarantee support for it. You may feel free to report bugs as any bugs in Legacy are likely to reproduce in the new Official version (except graphical glitches).
The BC version might not receive any updates in the future. This is due to the BC codebase having diverged from the original codebase of KD in order to make it compatible and not throw too many errors in BC's pipeline. Unfortunately this will take some effort to merge. However, any BC contributors are free to do the port as long as no Official assets are distributed to BC (these are not licensed for use in BC).
Pricing and Patreon
You will be able to play the itch.io version online for free, however once it's stable it won't receive updates as often.
There is a downloadable version that will be made available on itch.io soon for purchase. This will be 10$ and gets you all future updates for the planned scope of the game (10 bosses, 20 areas).
Finally, current patrons will get an itch.io code for supporting me through this kinky adventure. Thank you all for your support! I made a list of supporters up until now.
Moving forward, the Patron tiers will be as follows:
3$ (Adventurer): You'll be able to vote in patron polls on new game features, enemy types, factions, etc.
5$ (Bounty Hunter): You get to download early unstable versions before they're officially released.
10$ (Archmage): You'll be able to vote in polls on which new assets and outfits get made, subject to what artists are available.
Note that unfortunately there's no easy way for me to just give you the game once you hit a certain lifetime amount in Patreon. And considering there are hundreds of you, that's a bit too much paperwork for me in the future xD. I'll be distributing codes for anyone who supported me in the past as of this post, as well as artists, code contributors, translators, etc.
Comments
Huge congratulations on getting 5.0 released! This game has come such a long way since its beginnings in BC and it has become ever better, kinkier, and more addictive. :o) And thank you so much for the kind offer to us existing supporters, I very much appreciate it. The itch code worked perfectly.
