Ren'Py Simple Days [v0.18.3] [Mega Lono]

[wookie ookie]

yeah that would be smart move to make a patch for it, but discord should be also fine probably. as you prefer. but still open other accounts, SS (can take year), Boosty, itch (also going down slowly) what ever else, if nothing else at best you will get some more subs (there are bunch of ppl that hate P) and at worst you got backup.

Didn't realize you posted when was typing Lol SS can really take up to a year I never new that, that's crazy

 

[megalono]

Was going to send you message on patreon but you already seen, Don't know if it's something that could work for you but SubscribeStar Adult could be option quite a few Dev use both

I've been keeping an eye on SubscribeStar for a while, but from what I've seen, it's rare to find many people there. Most people are on Patreon. However, we do have Discord, which is a good distribution platform. Making patches is a pain, but we have to follow the rules... 'Pandora rules'.

Alternatively, in case the many children of the protagonist (at least in terms of the story) could be sent to some private school or something to that effect to explain their absence in-game, just a mere suggestion here. Patreon's been really breathing down the necks of some devs as of late.

The kids should be like in the game Sims 3/4, growing up, taking care of them, etc. ... but obviously, it's not going to happen. I need time to rethink my plans for the game.

 

[harem.king]

Thank you so much for the heads up. Learn from others and prepare yourself.
In this case, I have to remove all kids from the game and start making a full version, probably distributed through my Discord channel.

You should dump patreon and switch to subscribestar.
Why give your hard earned money to those patreon parasites?

yeah lots of ppl are waiting for it, what seems like eternity now. too many ppl are making accounts there and they are in 0 rush. some are lucky, some are waiting, but majority is on waiting side. for ppl usually only place they can instantly open after they get booted off P is boosty

well it always starts with 1 , link it to ops if you can. or report to mods for them to do it.

Let me ask the mods real quick to add this to the OP. so people will know it exists.

my Discord channel.

is the discord available to the public or only subbers? I don't see a discord link on the OP

I am not seeing a link in the game...
actually, the game does not link the subscribestar either, it only links patreon

So since you have a SS do you want supporters to start moving there and off Patreon or keep the way it is for now

Everyone should feel comfortable.
Let's keep things as they are for now. I still need time to digest the news and plan accordingly.

Yea, its one of those things that we don't normally think about.
but advertising yourself is a good idea.
makes sure that if someone finds your stuff at a random place, they know where your official channels are at.
and it doesn't cost you money because you are advertising with yourself.

Yeah sorry I should have said that differently not the way I did. Of course everyone has to fell comfortable and it's alot to digest now

out of curiosity. how much does patreon charge you?
I read that they charge between 5% to 12%, depending on your chosen plan.

Damn WTH that's fricken robbery

 

[Porthas]

I heard Steam is like 30% but I may be wrong about that. They all seem to rob folks.

The problem with Steam is one shot only.. pay and forget.
Have a reason why Adobe, Microsoft and all others switching to subscription plans.

If you make mill's... sell it. If you make under $2K (like me)... subscription can keep you alive.

Yeah but subscription plans are no bueno for this here consumer. I'm not going to pay more for an AVN than the $70 I spent on Baldur's Gate 3. Nothing personal, just how it is. My pocket book can't handle that, especially with inflation/shit economy.

There's major pushback on sub's by the way. People like actually owning their games. It's one of the problems I have with Steam and I buy stuff on GOG as much as possible. Steam can decide out of the blue you break TOS and there goes your whole library of stuff you paid for.

I do understand on 100%.
If you subscribe for $2 and pay annually with discount .. you can pay $20 for the year and enjoy all downloads and communicate directly with the developer.
I believe this is fair.
I wished to provide the game for free... i am just not that rich to afford it

Oh, yeah I don't expect anybody to work for free. This site does a pretty good job at letting me find games that I'm willing to pay for. I'm just referring to budgeting and keeping track of subscriptions and stuff. At least with Patreon we own the game that we have and it's not tied up with Steam or other DRM. I am pretty sure I've already paid a bit for this game and I'm waiting for it to be finished before I pay the last bit. That's what I usually do, if I get a bunch of hours of fun out of a game I'll pay for, say, half if I feel it's about half finished then the other half when it's done. But to each their own.
