while im not against someone wanting to make money their own work but when i saw a comment left on itch io version it made me feel you all were going to leave it as a glorified demo of the game when the full version would be made available behind a paywall, and i also want to ask if keyword if enough people were to buy the game or collectively paid you to make it public would you post the full version for free somewhere as i wouldnt like to see a full version of this game get lost to time due to being locked behind a paywall

Tbf that's how most games of this nature are done. Eventually the game will be in a completed state and we'll likely charge for the game once it's actually done on sites such as itch.io or possibly Steam

that only partly answered my question if enough copies are purchased or the community pools their money to ask for the full version to be released to the public would you post the full game for the public for free somewhere? again this is only if you feel you have made enough of a profit off of the game and want it to remain available for future players to be able to enjoy in its entirety

We'd likely only do that once we had another game going to make a profit from. This is our income remember, so it's unlikely we'd do that

understandable

we aren't even half way done with the game lol. we have so much more time to work in public, so don't worry! we have no idea what the final form of the project will look like over the next few years, so we have no way of confirming how we intend to release it yet. what we do know is; each update gets more and more intensive. as we continue development, the programing side of things is compounding, meaning we have to devote more time to keeping the game itself running rather than writing or drawing new content. eventually, that programming load will fully overtake our new content efforts, grinding the game's development to a crawl. at that point, a monthly release just wouldn't make any sense. our patrons would feel cheated as new content is added bits and pieces at a time. therefore, once we reach that critical mass, we want to pivot into private development. that means running for a number of months without any patreon income (from RH. our next game will likely take up the mantle). therefore, charging for the game in its finalized state is the best way to pay for our extended stint of private development, and help us save up for future projects.
