New update and Patreon bottom tier changes

See: http://www.playlewd.com/blog/?p=505 for the change full log.


I also will be changing the bottom tier from $2 to $5.
One of the biggest problems with it at $2 is that Patreon takes 12.5%-16.9% of it out in billion and Patreon's own 5% fee. At $5, it'll be about 2-4% less taken in fees.


For this last billing, 11.9% of the money was taken in fees, which REALLY hurts.


Not to mention, almost all the other games, most of them smaller, are charging $10 or $15.
I wanted it to be $2 a month because this is a long term thing that could be built up more and more for years and years, and I think that's a good minimum for that. But I just really have to raise it. We really need more support to get this made.
Hopefully in the near future, with my own payment systems where more of the money gets in my and the writers pockets, I can reduce it back down.


For those that paid their $2, they will still have supporter perks up until October 1st. You'll need to change your pledge to $5 to continue to get the rewards thereafter.

Yes, screenshots often help. Depends on what it is. The game is going to be free so you won't lose your ability to play it after having given money. The paypal pledges are credited to your LEWD account and that's permanent even if test server access isn't.

i will post with what issues i am having. and yes i realize its early stages, and im really digging the game thats why i was asking what happens to the current $2 tier people if we dont up it to $5? i wasnt trying to complain :) do you prefer screen shots as well?

It is the test-server which is why things can often be unplayable. It's not beta. It's still not even quite "alpha" yet. Later this month there will be a "stable" server assuming I find and fix all these bugs and get these other features implemented to reduce cost that I need to implement. But it takes monetary support to get the game made. Are you sure it's still doing something to say you have males parts when you don't? There's lots of bugs that come and go as I'm always changing how things work to get it set up as good as possible. You can see by the blog posts that there's usually a lot of bug fixes and reworks each week. As far as Gail quest line not working, I had no idea. No one reported that. It takes a lot of time to test things out. I'm always changing things or adding new features and sometimes that breaks stuff like that. I only just recently mostly finished my new engine, and the process of recoding the game to fully work on the new engine is not straight forward as many things work completely differently. Usually when people report things they're fixed quickly, but I need detailed reports on the forums of when and how something happens to actually know about it and get it fixed. I am aware of that bug with quests after reworking. Saves aren't fully functioning yet, like a previous blog post on the site notes. It's something that'll be fixed soon. I mean, generally each week it's been changing and improving a lot more than other games I know of? Once we get over these initial humps, it'll be much smoother. It's just because it's not even two months in yet. If you find more bugs though, pleeasseee report them with as much detail as you can on the forums. I'm sure there's more that I'm not aware of that I really want to get fixed this month. They aren't there out of malice or something. It's just that I'm programming all day and don't have time to test everything. As far as what happens when someone no longer wants to pay $5, the game is going to be free. It's only paid now to play on the test-server early. Your support is credited to your account and permanent, and not something that goes away each month. The ones that don't up will no longer have the perks that that tier gets come October.

i completely understand about why you want to change to $5 as your bottom tier, however the game is still mostly unplayable. i played a while back and the quest line with i think her name is Gail, played through. now though its broken. when you come back with the living dildo she only says equip it and come back. and many times it freezes there for me. i have to restart and it remembers where my quest is but removes any and all items i had so i cant do the quest unless i delete data and start over again. also playing as a female it constantly references my male parts which i have none of. i realize its beta but to raise the price and less is working i dont want to pay more. im perfectly happy paying the $2 until a bit more of the game is working. as i really like what you have going. So what happens if we dont up it to the $5? i give what i can to several game makers so im not against the hike in fee for a more working product. unless im missing something with the quest line but cant see what i could have missed.
