Weekly report and a confusing announcement
🕑 Added 2016-07-15 18:21:05 +0000 UTC Hey everyone!First off, I wrote some more this week. I now have a total of 5 new scenes written. Next week, I'll add the turn counter mechanic to the game. Which will give you a number of action you can do in town before you have to go back out there. That mechanic will be dictated by Payton's reputation. The perks of being liked and all that. Speaking of reputation, I played the game for a while at low rep and decided that the common complaint of 3 rep being too low was valid. It's not impossible to come back from but it's slow. I'll up the minimum to 4, at least until I add in the ways for Payton to gain reputation in town.
Secondly, my patreon is now charge upfront... I think. Earlier this week, I checked my edit screen to make sure I knew how to do the change for when today came and found that I did not have the charge upfront toggle. I contacted the Patreon help people and they said it was just a glitch and they could turn it on for me. I asked them to turn it on on the 15th and they said they'll try to get it for this date but it might just go on tomorrow. The annoying thing is that I have no way of knowing if it's turned on or not since I can't see the toggle. So, yeah... Sorry about that.
Hope you guys have a great weekend!

I am not a big fan of hiding things for no reason. If there's some news that I deem "patron only" then I'll hide it. Apart from that, the 1$ donation would be like giving me a thumbs up.

So, seeing as all your posts seem to be set to public... is there any point in pledging at the one dollar level beyond saying "Well Done" and hopefully being able to see a public release of the game at some point?
Pyorgara
Thanks! Glad you had fun.

Came across your April demo while browsing online, great game, donated
Pyorgara
Thanks! Fingers crossed.

Donated! Hope you guys reach your higher goals, too.
Pyorgara
Yes. If you guys pay now, I'll give you the build from the start of this month. I won't always be online though so it might take up to a day for me to send the links. I'll send you and banditking the links now since you both donated.
Pyorgara
Yeah I think that that's how it works for now. Since you're already a patron, the only way to pay right now would be to up your donation and pay the difference. You can then downgrade back to the amount you'd like to actually donate.

Do ya plan on making playtest of the newest build of your game instantly available to all new patrons (including new ones tthat pay up-front)? Or will ya still just send it out 1day/month? thanks ^^

Sounds great, cant wait to see what those items will be.

seems like there is a bug in the upfront charge system. Only by upping my pledge to $10 was I able to pay the upfront charge.
Pyorgara
Yeah, that's exactly the feel I want to cultivate. The armies are pretty much always on the move. The curio merchant is going to sell things for Payton. Like weapons and armor. But more importantly, he will also sell things that are needed for certain Vanora scenes down the line.

The counter mechanic sounds nice, the feeling i get from the story is that payton and his army should always be on campaign and that the city is just to resuply and a bit of "amusement" for the men (and payton) before going back to it. One question i have is about the "curio merchand", will he sell stuff for the army or for payton? And what are your plans for him?
