🕑 Added 2019-08-01 11:01:27 +0000 UTCTHE SERVER IS DOWN
Looks like it's impossible for me to get a vacation, so I'm going to write this before my fucking right eye crashes.
If you are planning to pledge (or edit your current pledge) for FOX tier to play the new version we suggest you to wait because you won't be able to download or play the game.
If your are a Patron, please DON'T panic. (this was some kind of expected)
So yeah, if you've been trying to play in the last few hours you'l noticed you can get pass the log-in screen... this is basically because the server decided it was too much work for 'him' to keep auto-updating so it decided to refuse any incoming connection. We knew the server wasn't that good but also expected for it to be not that bad.
So Meguido, has wiped out the server and is working right now on a new version for the game. The server's life was short but secure, let's give 'him' a last good bye.
In the case that you already pledged in these last few hours and couldn't even play the game, you can cancel the pledge and ask for a refund or you can wait a few days for the new version.
Version 0.1.x
As I said, Meguido is working right now on a new version for the game.
It will have some fixes, some changes and a couple of add-ons but the most important thing:
The infamous Log-in system will be removed.
Why to delete the Log-in System?
Well for various reasons being the main one that the FOX Patrons have spoken
Other reasons are that the System itself was still very young to be used, the server we choose is very slow, we've been forced to manually refresh the server so many times in just a couple days, the Patrons manager from Patreon does very weird things ...
New Release Dates
Well, this is the new plan:
1-We're trying to finish this new version ASAP. (We're aiming for the next Monday but can't promise anything)
2-If all goes well, this day we'll release the V0.1.x for FOX and HOUND Patrons.
3-Because we're so happy with the reception of the game so far, (even if we're still too far from the target) we're thinking why make the rest of people wait so much to play it? So we're gonna reduce the time between releases. The plan is to have all releases ready (including the public version) before the end of August.
4-Can't confirm the dates right now (it depends on how much time it takes to get ready the new version) but when it's done it won't take too much for everyone to get access to it.
What will happen with the Patron-exclusive content?
Right now, our idea is to release different versions of the game depending on the pledge.
The CP-System
But we're now planning our next step to give the Patrons what they deserve.
It's what we call The CP-System (provisional name) I'm not going to talk too much about it because it's still on his design phase, but I'm going to put here some concepts:
- It wont' requiere internet connection.
- It will be comfortable for us to work with it and for Patrons because of it's not intrusive nature.
- No Patron info will be required.
- It will allow us to reward our Patrons but not only based on their pledge but in their loyalty to us (ie the time they've been Patrons)
- It will allow more integration with projects that aren't games (like comics, CG sets, etc)
- And most important, it will give the Patrons the freedom to do whatever they want with their rewards.
More info of this on the future after the Bioasshard V0.1.x release (and my vacations ^^).
I'm not gonna finish this without expressing my most sincere apologies for all these troubles.
Sorry
Sorry
Sorry
And thank you all for all the support we received with this release.
Ps. By the way, if you're a collector and want to have the older versions (0.0.1, 0.0.2 and/or 0.0.3) make sure to download it/them quick, because in order to make more space in the folder, we're going to delete them from mega.
Regards and thanks for your patience!

Too late I changed it back to pigeon. I just don't have the money and I did spend another $30 on your pledge. Sorry.

Well then, using a Server to manage diferent patreon Tiers had only worked for a hand full of Creators so far. Generaly ones with more Experience or Manpower/better tech behind them. Going for a more basic aproach propably will solve this for now. I hope it gets fixed soon, im having some days free now and realy want to play that game finally :D

I'm a broke fuck, but if I had money I'd be willingly giving it to you. Listening to your patrons and removing the shitty login system is a GOOD decision. I know of people who already vowed to pledge to your patreon, but were reluctant because of the login system. Good job VersusX team

After seeing this being posted on the forums many people started saying this is great and now they don't feel afraid to try the game. So be on the look out for A LOT of new support and I hope that when you get your vacation you take it easy. I mean if your health is so-so look after yourself first then the game. I am sure we can wait a bit if it means you can feel better.

Thanks for the speedy response, and glad to hear the Log in system is being removed, should be healthy for the game overall in all honesty and definitely bring in some of those who might have been hesitant before due to potential security issues! Hope the new version comes ASAP as I'm eagerly waiting to get my chance to play after subbing!
Ah shit, here we go again...
